Little Joy Cocktails

This is a ok bar. I like the environment more than the actual drinks.They also had a lot of flies when I went which was a bit annoying

Staff was rude and they over charged me and my friends. I had one drink and they charged us all $50 EACH! now I have to call my bank. Thanx. Lame place lame location. Gentrification at its finest.This $50 charge is the only one I have ever experienced in LA. Or any bar. Check the reviews before you go.

This bar has some of the best drinks and atmosphere in all of Los Angeles. Service was top notch as the bartenders and managers went above and beyond. This will always be my go to bar in the are and I cannot recommend it enough for great drinks, music, vibes, and people.

Great neighborhood bar with a DJ playing a variety of music from 00s hip hop, house, etc. signature cocktails are pretty average, few beer options. Plenty of seating and room for dancing!

Found this place on a drive to find somewhere to eat. Loved this little place. Very friendly and informative staff (had street parking questions).Drinks were great and the atmosphere was nice.

Honestly when the man just approached me and told me to buy something or leave I knew this place wasent going to be enjoyable. I cant believe I thought it was going to be a place to chill and just vibe if Im going to be harassed to order something or be forced to leave.

Super chill vibe. Service was impeccable. Sick locash. Close to Dodger Stades. Try the LA mule.

One of the best spots in echo park. sitting in the booths by the window as the sun goes down is legendary and wonderful.

Very nice spot. Great drinks. Prick me up is my favorite.

Service is the worst. The staff do everything they can to look busy even when its not busy. You will be ignored multiple times when you try to flag someone down. Ive been here a few times and the last 2 times made me want to leave immediately. Our last visit, it was almost empty. However we were sitting at the bar for a few minutes before we had to flag someone. Then once our order was taken, another bartender comes by and asks if our order was taken, which I dont understand. I think theres so much emphasis on looking busy like cleaning glasses and lighting candles lol but no emphasis on customer service.

Space is great. Stick to beer and wine. Do not order cocktails, just don’t.

I came here to have like 3 drinks and they charged me 50$ for my first drink. It was my first time visiting this bar. Why these people got to be like that? And after that I still get charged another 10$ for my last drink.I had 2 drinks at this bar and the bartender charged me 60$! There is months I dont have enough money for food by the end of the month so now I need to visit food banks so I have food to eat. I came to this bar just to have 3 drinks and for some reason the woman who is a bartender ended up charging me 60$. I was interested in meeting new people because I deal with isolation issues. And I liked the environment of this place but I dont want to return to this business.

Assaulted by security guard for not showing “respect,” absolutely nothing done by management. also took 20 minutes to get a shot.

Great vibes, amazing drinks. However, the DJ wouldn’t play Say you’ll be there by the spice girls, which we all know would have gotten the crowd activated. Also, did not seem to have Rihanna available to spin. Only reason for 3 stars. Love to all

As someone reviewed before, I was also overcharged 50 dollars exactly for what reason I’m not sure.. I only ordered one beer and see a 50 dollar transaction on my card. I don’t know if it was the same girl but it was a female with dark hair and kinda dead eyes, I don’t know if this is an error but I won’t be coming here spending money again if you don’t want your money taken. Very fishy.

This bar has had like 3 changes in management in the past year, they NEVER have the menu in stock, and the bartenders are rude. You are better off at Bar Flores.

They remodeled. I like the large open windows. The bar is a bit too large/deep tho, and has a slight Tuscan restaurant vibe. Maybe some of the divey charm can come back.

Walked by coming back from the farmers market by myself (June 8, 7 PM), big tall black guy working as security verbally harassed me as I walked by. Not a safe spot for women.

Horrible service. The bartender served a ton of people that arrived after us. After 20 minutes when we tried to get her attention she asked if ‘it was an emergency’. Definitely not going to spend my money here anymore.

This place has changed a LOT since I first discovered it. Before it was some small dive bar with just a single pool table at the end, which I actually loved! But last weekend my friend picked this place for our birthdays, at least one of the stops 😉 and it was sooo different.. music with everyone dancing.. pretty crowded but in a good way! Good vibes!Bouncer didnt believe it was my ID at first umm ok is that a compliment? Either way he wasnt a douche about it.. plus my vacc card has the same name and info..? (Side note: theyre carding for vaccination! One friend couldnt get in b/c of it, no joke.) lol anyway its a great spot.Even though it seems there are more people coming to this spot and more hipster-like.. Id still come back. Its all love. ♡

Met a cool guy here, called himself the King of Echo Park. Actual place didn’t stand out but still had fun, overall good experience

I was happy to see that they are only allowing those in with proof of vaccination. I only gave it 4 stars because absolutely nobody was wearing a mask. I know that might be a lot to ask for a bar but I was there to see a band and would have appreciated some sort of a mask rule since we were packed in to a little room.

No longer the dive bar it once was, but Sunset really doesnt need any more of those...great new spot!

Loved every cocktail we had there. Great place to meet everyone before walking to Dodger Stadium.

Fun dive bar with mostly good tunes that people dance to. Limited seating, some booths and stools, mostly standing room. Bar can get extremely busy and youre not looked upon fondly if you order cocktails! They take card and cash payments. Definitely not a fancy place. Easy to get a rideshare home.

Used to be an amazing place, with a punk rock sort-of F**k You vibe to it. Now its a shell of its former self. Overcrowded with pretentious hipsters who feel as if theyre the most important people in the city because theyre participating in the new cool LA neighborhood. Youll be hard pressed to find any locals here.Steer clear of this place if youre not into long waits to get in, hipsters talking about hipster crap, and unbearably loud music.

At first I thought Little Joy was a Chinese restaurant from the outside. Little did I know its a hip little dive bar just steps away from The Short Stop.We came here for a drink after an event in Silverlake.It was pretty crowded for a Tuesday night. The crowd was a mix of locals and hipsters. A DJ was spinning and also a live band that left right after we got there.The atmosphere was lively and unpretentious which I like. Everyone there just enjoying a cheap drink and music.NO COVER

If you want to experience very little joy then this is the place to go. The bartenders were only engaged with each other, we felt like an inconvenience!

This place is cool. Newly renovated from the last dive bar that was there. Theres a pool table, some live music sometimes, decent selection. This place can get crowded on weekends though, like really crowded. And really loud. But whatever its a bar.

This place is a nice and intimate bar with pool tables and some decent priced liquid. Its dark and grunge-y with candles here and there, and some great music playing in the background. Nice vibe, nice people.

Definitely an unexpected surprise. I liked the Saturday night DJing and appreciated the barebones nature of the place. Im surprised there wasnt any cocktail menu, and ended up having to stick with some basic mixed drinks during my time there.

I love Little Joy, its quite low-key during the week and on Sunday night. Its a dark bar so its a good place to take a Tinder date if your profile pics are deceiving 😉

Pretty small bar, solid drinks, decent music and decent vibe. Honestly nothing really good or bad about this place, its about as bar-y as bars go. If you bring a good group tho this place can be awesome

This is a killer little spot. Clean and safe but a funky, neighborhood vibe to it. Good curated beer selection and my bartender was a pro. Definitely authentic EP vibe.

Little Joy is the official sponsor of World Dodgeball Societys Echo Park league on Tuesdays. Therefore, youll find me usually hanging here Tuesday evenings with the rest of the adults wearing knee pads draping over their ankles, dried sweat and workout clothes. If you see us, you know where we just came from - two amazing hours of friendly dodgeball competition play!What I love most about this bar is the ONE pool table they have for FREE play. When I dont feel Ive received enough competition during dodgeball, I sign up for some billiards. Some great players play here often so its a good switch of games for some friendly fun.Drinks are pretty cheap and they have my favorite non-alcoholic beer Paulaner for $5. Sometimes after a good workout, I just want some hydration -- not the opposite! However, I am a big fan of their Pilsner ($6) and Allagash White Ale ($6).Parking used to be easy when the grocery store parking lot a few stores down from Little Joy was open after hours. But a few months ago they chained it off so nobody can park there now.even after the grocery store is closed for the day. SUCKS.

I havent been in this bar for over 20 years! What a refreshing experience! Cant wait to come back, soon👍

Little Joy is a great place for karaoke Wednesdays and have good drink specials. Nothing fancy about the decor but thats why I love it.

In addition to a non-hipster, moderateley sketch, bourbon-tastic, burgergasmic experience, Broken Record now serves pulled pork fries. I repeat, PULLED PORK FRIES! WITH CHEESE SAUCE ON TOP! Im pretty sure they are what Zeus eats atop Mount Olympus.

A little hole in the wall spot, packed with wall to wall hipsters, and ceiling to floor with disconnected transplants who drive the cost of living up in smaller neighborhoods. Please return to your origins and let us have our dive bars back.

The bartenders rarely get around to taking your order. I stood at the end of the bar for 20 mins before the bartender looked up to take my order. He held his finger up signaling one minute and then finished his conversation.

They host a monthly bar box pool tournament. They have a full bar with reasonably priced drinks. Parking in the area is not good.

This place has been closed the last few times o e come during their “open hours” anyone know what’s up?

One of my favorite bars true wells are higher end the vide is great, the music is always good. Local hangout!

I got called out for telling the DJ at Little Joy at 1477 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026 for taking bribes on 1-31-18, specifically for charging $10 for having a girl sing a song on karaoke night, and I got kicked out, This place is not a placed Id recommend whatsoever.

Boring, dark, lack of options. Staff was great.

My friend and fellow Mensa member, Don Andes owns this nightery. I encourage social drinkers to patronize it and say hi to him.

Usually a cool place, but sometimes the music choices are just totally wrong for the crowd.

Really cute after the renovation!

Love this place had fun good drinks fare prices nice trippy performances on Sundays

Small LA Dive Bar. Crowd around late twenties . Good prices. Good Gin n Tonic.

Nice Vibe, Great Layout. Looks more like a Dive Bar than it really is from the outside. 👍🏽

Our bartender Cisco was hilarious and great !

Go here if you want to spend your Saturday waiting 30 minutes to have multiple bartenders completely ignore you. Dont waste your time.

Has a pool table. Solid crowd. Solid drink selection. Worth it to stop by here on your bar crawl down Sunset.

Nice and easy.Marisha spinning Mall hits was the greatest! 😁

Terrible stuff! never come back again!

Perfect chill spot with good ambience and really affordable beer prices

Not a disco bar just a con job on New Years hope they reinstate the disco night

Customers were racist, bartender and doorman threw our drinks out while we were outside smoking. I wont be back, ever.

Live this place, even tho they painted it white

Great place for Drinks. Very nice pool table.
