Ye Rustic Inn
1831 Hillhurst Ave (map)
Los Angeles, CA 90027
(323) 662-5757
“The Rustic,” as it’s known by area hipsters, is about as divey as a dive bar gets without being inside a submersible. All of the staple dive bar elements are there – the wood-motif paneling, the loud ‘70s rock, the antler chandeliers, the busty, cowgirl-hat-wearing bartenders, the cheap drinks, the old drunks, and the dive bar fan crowd that bum-rushes the place nearly every night of the week, and the fact that it’s in a strip mall next to the gas company. Don’t go here if you like Usher and Kanye. Do go here if you rep Usher and Kanye ironically, have a moustache, endeavor to have a moustache, or have absolutely nowhere else to be in the next 14 hours. Because the Rustic will absorb you bodily and swallow up your plans like it’s the white whale. Good night, sir.
