The Gold Room, a divey, classy (preferably with an “i”) bar in Echo Park and a local staple. PBR is drank without irony nor judgement. Have 2 PBRs with tequila and you’ll be rewarded with free tacos, quesadillas, and house peanuts. Pure gold.

Agreed. Amazing backyard view of palm trees and the DTLA skyline.
I love echo parque so damn much.
Echo Park is a funky, unpretentious, mixed-ethnicity neighborhood… And as we descend from the 101, I look upon the promise of Echo Park lake, which, though artificial, has acquired undeniable authenticity over the years. I note the crowd of taco joints, botanicas, tattoo parlors, and liquor stores.

There’s a natural spring in L.A. and it’s MacArthur Park, imagined in the early 1900s as “the Champs-Élysées of Los Angeles.”

And after a year in LA I had this moment where I was like ok you know what I can do this. I have to go all in. I can’t have a backup plan and I need to commit to doing this whether I’m homeless or I’m successful. And I knew if I had that type of attitude I’d be successful. I gave myself 10 years.
It’s been said that San Francisco is a city of smart people with no ambition, New York is a city of smart people with more ambition, and L.A. is a city of dumb people with the most ambition. This is harsh. After all, L.A. is the city of Bukowski and Bret Easton Ellis, but also of Angelyne, the original Kim Kardashian. Her blond wig barely visible over the dash of her pink Corvette, the swim-suit-clad billboard model of indeterminate age embodies the city’s limitless enthusiasm for the absurd.

An Echo Park institution, commonly known as “The Short Stop.” It’s a former cop bar with a billiards table, dance floor, photo booth, smoking patio… A Westsider’s destination.
