So this place is like a hidden gem for Boyle heights locals. Everyone here is having a good time. When you walk in the bouncer is very respectful checks your bag. But he is very polite and sweet at the same time. Honestly that is rare these days. We got there when they opened at 7pm. We was greeted by Javier but we called him Javi all night.When I tell you he was so nice and real. Really loved his job. Kept the bar true to itself. He really take cares of the locals. Wants to keep this bar for the locals so when you come he treats you like a local. Makes you understand why people come. We sat at the bar and had the best service. Javi took care of us. If you ever in Boyle heights and want to hear good music and have good reasonable priced drinks come to Holiday! Because I know I will come back!

I have to give 1 star because they never let us in. They denied us entrance after they saw two people out of our party of 5 drink a last brew from the ice chest outside our car before entering. We were introducing a friend from out of town to the location and cruising our classic car after leaving an event. We were excited to check this spot out but for something so petty to discriminate, ostracize, or treat us as “scum” was completely disrespectful and uncalled for. We were extremely offended especially since this is our local community that we want to support and we were treated like trash in our own community. That was out of line ..

This is the best bar to kick back enjoy a cold one or few , Dance meet new friends . The bartenders are so very friendly u feel like youve know them for years. The owners super cool and friendly welcoming . outside the bar they sell the best tacos and mulitas and quesa tacos in all boyle heights called LA Tipsy Tacos u can eat inside. The music is all types old school funk spanish an on tuesdays they got kerioke. This place is a must visit must reffer place . highly recomend coming here . even if u come alone its a guarentee u leave with new friends . so come on down what u waitting for

  • Melissa Luna

The security guard allows and picks and chooses who comes in as a re-entry after 12:30. He allowed a re-entry to two females who had already been in the bar. I ask to speak to his manager and was denied Tom he opportunity to understand the policy of the bar from a management perspective. That alone is customer unsatisfaction. He was rude and hostile. Never again would I come to this bar where the security guards lack professionalism and respect for the payed customers that come in.

One of my favorite bars in Boyle heights. This is not your gentrified, hipster spot. This is a legit hood bar that the whole community calls home. You'll meet the cholos from the block, the old couple that's been together for 40 years and enjoying their lives, you'll meet the east side punks and rockers, you run into old highschool buddies that haven't seen each other for years, teachers, nurses, and other bar tenders that work in DTLA. It's a legit working class Chicano/ Latino bar by the people for the people. Love this place.

  • Laura Hernandez

It's a tiny hole in the wall but to my surprise it's very spacious once you head to the back seating area. Bartenders had good energy and customer service. The music was loud and bumping just how I like it. They gave me variety. Banda, Reggeton, Pop Rock Latino, oldies but goodies too. It did not receive a 5 star because it lacked food. I had just left work to party with my girls and I was hungry but this place had no finger food/appetizers. I would definitely come back again.

  • Christian Ousbel

Bouncer up front was cool and informative after a pat down. Walked in on a busy night with nostalgic music played by the DJ. The lively atmosphere was contagious. Bartenders were great and will even find you through the crowd to take your order. There was a taco stand right outside which you can order from and have them deliver to whatever area in the bar you were at which was awesome. Definitely will be coming back here. Possibly this holiday weekend.

Chill spot to get some drinks and have a good time. A bit packed and crowded but that's what a dive bar usually is like. Good music and the bartender as well as security were cool and on top of things. You might have to wait in line to get in but it's worth it. Drinks were cheap and we were able to sit and get a table somehow. Overall I enjoyed and would definitely go again.

Had a fun time at this place, they played some old school freestyle music and classic west coast music, crowd was about late 20's - late 30's, everyone was pretty chill, definitely a urban latin bar. They have a bouncer that checks you before you enter, theres a taco stand right outside incase you get hungry, very tasty. Drinks are good, staff is friendly, parking isnt 2 bad. Would return in the future.

So, it’s a small hole in the wall. But they say it’s safe. Which it’s not. Security pats down 40% of the people they KNOW. The other half is open for disaster. Restrooms never work. A bunch of people have to use the restroom and No one cares. At least From what I seen All bad. Knives pulled out ok the dance floor. Restroom. And security doesn’t believe it Because he has tunnel vision.

  • Byron Rosa

The DJ knows the vibes! A bled of hip hop, reggaeton, salsa, etc! Lots to dance to and a big enough dance floor to find a space and wiggle it out. The bar gets packed really quick so don't be shy to make friends with who is in line and they serve you pretty quick. The most wait time was about 5 minutes but well worth it. Stop on by and check it out if you're in the area

  • Francisco Carbajal

Love this Dive bar, great music, it has a small dance floor and a patio. Great drinks. I recommend Titos mule and the Paloma. Drinks are very consistent, not too strong. My favorite bartender, April, check her out. Bouncers are on point, don't bring trouble cause they will drag you out. Overall, I had a great experience will defenetly keep coming back.

  • Vahe Mansourian

The vibes are the best! A nice mix of everything. Lots of nostalgic songs and a mix of some good new hits. The bar gets super packed and it takes a long time to get drinks that are pretty bad, but I don't mind to be honest the people and the music make it all worth it! Always a good time!

  • Jerry Robles

Worse place in town starting with security!! They choose violence to try to control the crowd!! Last night people got pepper spray and there was guns involved, if you care to have a good time with friends... this is NOT the place!!

Nice spot, great music. Wasn’t a fan of being told my $20 was fake, though. Bank ATMs have less than a 1% chance of dispensing fake money. I had no issue paying but I didn't appreciate being put on blast.

  • Jose Garcia

Oh Yaa, the place is safe, Lol. one person in critical condition and five others wounded , shooting early this morning. Security S U C K S Rocks! Close this place Down!!!! The community needs to step up

A nice fairly small bar with a mellow vibe with dim lighting that creates a calm relaxed vibe. The drinks are cheap and the staff is friendly. A homie feel to it great for grabbing a quick beer.

Went a few nights ago. Very lowkey appearance, but once inside there's plenty of seating inside and in the back patio area. The employees were really nice and gave great service. …
