Good Luck Bar

Los Angeles, CA 90027

When one ventures east of Hollywood, one tends to find cheaper drinks and more variety in watering holes, and the Good Luck Bar is a prime example. With red velvet-lined walls, dark wood lattices and an ottoman-filled lounge room, this one is a favorite for Los Feliz locals as well as informed visitors. It’s easy to miss, situated on the oblique corner where Sunset and Hollywood converge at Hillhurst, but not easy to forget once you’ve visited. On weekends it tends to get busy after midnight.
The haiku version:
Wine-red velvet walls
Dark, lavish Asian decor
An emperor’s bar
