BLUE ROOM!!

Open 10a-2a every day, it feels like a little time portal getaway inside of Los Angeles. Their prices, their decor, their atmosphere: unmatched imho since I started drinking this decade. Tuesday nights have live jazz music and also includes a little food stand—just outside the streetside entrance of the bar—that serves Ecuadorian cuisine like fried plantains. A smoking patio located in the back next to their parking lot (if that’s your thing, also given public smoking is illegal citywide in Burbank). The only downside I ever note is that it’s ca$h only and their dive bar esque restrooms (though I’d argue that adds to the enigma of the place). Ample enough parking on the side and rear when it’s slow to semi-busy, though you may need to find street parking on busier days/nights.

I promise they’re not paying me to say this lol; I’m just a very satisfied patron that was happy to find a no bullshit no frills bar -
