Backstage has been one of my favorite places to go in LA for a couple of reasons. One, they have not raised their prices basically since I started going there. Every nigt is a new special and my favorite: $2 Tuesdays where every drink (well) is $2. They have a cozy fireplace and the vibe is very non-LA which can be stuck up and snobby when bars try to achieve that vibe. Also the staff barely ever changes and is friendly. If I have a problem with my drinks or food they have always just replaced it instead of giving me the third degree. This past weekend my friends and I wanted to do Karaoke but got there around 11 and the list was full., if you want to sing you've gotta be on it!! I can safely say this is my favorite bar in LA.
Pros: cheap drinks, good atmosphere, not ""LA""
Cons: have to get there early to sign up for karaoke
