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. View high resolution

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.

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. Photo courtesy of lostlists
