One of my favorite bars. Check out the upstairs bar (sometimes closed for private events) for a more mellow scene, good music and great people watching. Moscow Mules are a must.

You can take the Expo line all the way to DTLA or all the way to Santa Monica pier. Plenty of parking and easy to access from the unit. I would either take an Uber to the station for about $4 or drive there.
