Lock & Key

Koreatown, Los AngelesMixed

A speakeasy-themed Koreatown cocktail bar next door to Ramen Burger, where Roger found well-handcrafted whiskey cocktails but a packed, smoky patio and a crowd he called more K-Town than typical speakeasy hipster.

The doorknob to the far right will lead you into the bar (not telling you the exact one though...)

★★★☆☆

“It's got this speakeasy ambiance and theme.”

Roger had noticed the plastered-out crowd stumbling out of here for years while eating next door at Ramen Burger before finally checking it out. He liked the prohibition-era decor, the "secret entrance" doorknob gimmick and the handcrafted whiskey cocktails, but found the outside patio cramped and smoky and warned not to expect too much.
