Phenomenal cocktails and service. I am driving back up to LA just to experience this place again. Loved that the bar tender had horror movies on in the background and was even taking suggestions, lol. Service seriously was some of the best I've ever had. I am still dreaming about the mermaid shot. More

Female owned safe and friendly bar with the BEST staff!! Will definitely be coming back here for date night or girls night. Cute intimate atmosphere inside and they have outdoor seating too if you're so inclined. The Micheladas are bomb and their classic drink menu has some really good drinks too!

I really wanted to be obsessed with this place. Upon walking in, I was sure I would be. Cool lighting and obscure decorations cover the small, cozy interior and a plethora of good music (veruca salt, misfits, garbage, distillers etc) played

This used to be an amazing bar, but in the past few months there's been a major vibe shift. The bartenders are rude, there are posters in the bathroom telling people not to make a mess because they're not "the man" and providing addresses

Super disappointed. I went here with my best friend for their birthday, with a group of about 8-9 people. We were asked to immediately step outside, and then demanded we stand in the corner and sit in no chairs-although there were about 3

Underrated bar in little Tokyo. Super chill vibes and loved the mermaid theme. Drinks were amazing. Each drink was so delicious. My favorite one was "The Spritz" restrooms available but parking is tight. Angel City Brewery and Bar 82 are

So if you're going here expecting the "mermaids" you'll be disappointed. It was a video and not necessarily realistic. The lady working at the bar immediately made a rude comment to my boyfriend before we even sat down. We then watched a

I usually love this place, but super disappointed to look at my receipt and was charged an automatic “large party” 18% tip gratuity. Why you ask? No clue since it’s a dive bar and we ordered tequila shots AT the bar! No food or sit down

A cozy little bar space sandwiched between the Arts District and Little Tokyo. With a chill vibe and cocktails and tapped beverages, there’s pretty much something for everyone. Styled as a nautical/underwater bar, it’s a great hang for

The bar decor really goes with its name. You actually fill you are under the sea. It’s a cozy place. Very unique names for drinks to go with the theme, tasty as well. My only problem was the bartender wasn’t friendly. Didn’t have the

Located in a little mall strip. The decor is simple, lighting sets up the underwater theme, but it never goes overboard - which works in their favor. Punch drinks and the Mermaidan Voyage are staples. Try the guacamole (sesame seeds).

Giving it an extra star for its happy hour margarita. It's delicious. This is A great place to have a drink while waiting for the restaurant next door. The prices are reasonable and the place is not crowded at all.

Quick, great service at the bar, clean, well designed environment, creatively themed strong drinks. Black magic woman drink tasted a little wonky though. Maybe make it more creamy, coffee, bananay.

Small but not a hole in the wall. Great for a date night if you’re there early. The drinks are creative and the food is fantastic. I recommend the jolly rodger drink and Korean wings

Cool place that blurs the lines between artsy and dive bar. The bartenders were extremely friendly and the music and drinks were great. They have a pretty nice food menu too.

This is one of my favorite dive/hole in the wall bars. Friendly staff, good drinks, great atmosphere. Come alone, bring some friends I’ve never had a bad time here. More

If I could give 0 stars I would. Today we came to the Mermaid Bar after stopping by the Arts District as we were showing our cousins from Mexico a good time in LA.

Super cute place. You feel like you're under water. The bar tenders were very nice and made great drinks. I had the daiquiri and it was absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere was amazing. The DJ played good industrial music for a Monday night and drinks were well priced. I'd definitely return next time I'm in LA.

Loved the food, the drinks were nice n strong, our server was so sweet and friendly. Definitely would come back next time we come to LA! More

Very very cute little bar, they had 80s music theme and we loved it. The drinks are very very good and the staff is friendly and fast.

Love this place! Cool atmosphere, feels like we're in an underwater cove. The drinks are well made and delicious. More

Super cute dive spot with an array of cocktails and tasty bar eats. Atmosphere is fun and ethereal.
