What a SWEET ass dive bar. It looks super sketchy on the outside, but nothing other than the opposite. I went on a Friday, the music was great, played mostly 80's pop, everyone was dancing, the boys and girls flirting, reminded me of high school, jocks,punks,greasers,and girls all hanging around.
Drinks are reasonable, between 5 and 9 bucks and they sell tall cans if that's your style. Haha
They also have a little 2 dollar photo booth that can capture all the drunkenness of the night!
I would recommend for anyone who loved dancing and boys. -

As you walk past you will see a sign that says Sports Bar, but this is no sports bar. It is a great urban dive bar that would fit nicely in Brooklyn, NYC, or Wicker Park, Chicago. The big white horse on the bar is a nice touch. Now, this is LA, so there are hipsters in here, but I found the crowd nicely mixed.
Now some women have complained about the female bartender. She was nice to us. The amazingly beautiful bartender is your Playboy cover Southern California girl: She was blond, sexy, and had quite a bust (real or fake was a subject of conversation, but when is it not for a girl like that?), but she seemed to be dating an all American guy who looked like he just hopped off a bus from Ohio (he tried to take her iPhone when he left - which was funny....yeah, she gets attention dude!). She was friendly and fast as the crowd put down PBR 24 OZ tall boys by the fistful and people danced in the small rear dance hall. She checked in on us several times and made sure our drinks were full and that we had water when we wanted it.
Overall, I loved this place. Really just had an amazing time and as the night went on this place got very busy. After about 12 this place is very busy!
If you are looking for an real city dive bar that might make a visiting New Yorker or Chicago person feel at home the 107 is the place to go in the downtown. Oh, and since this was my first visit to downtown LA, it is so nice to see people trying to live down here and it is also nice to see new places opening up to lessen the homeless guy ambiance of what was once (1940?) an amazing downtown that must have rivaled the down-towns of other big US Cities. You can tell by looking at the amazing old buildings here. The downtown needs people to make it a city center again with people living, shopping, and working as they do in many other great cities - as the #2 city in the USA, LA has some catching up to do with NYC and Chicago, but places like the 107 are part of the solution. -

I've been to this bar a few times. I like the decor and the cheap drinks. What i don't like is the service.
Aside from being treated rudely by our female bar tender, I was also stolen from.
Having been a former server myself I know what it is to live off tips and am a generous CASH tipper. I also know how to close out my receipts and put a big fat 0 on the tip line when I do leave a cash tip.
An employee at this bar felt it was OK to override the drink total that i had approved with my signature and added a 5 dollar tip to the bill... My drink order was 12 dollars so you figure a 20% tip would be $2.40, but $5.00, practically a 40% tip for shitty service with an attitude???? You can see why I was surprised to find I was charged 17 dollars!
Now $5 dollars may not be a lot to you ,but I could definitely use it. I can only imagine how many other people were stolen from on Friday November 18, 2011.
Check your receipts. -

I love this bar. It reminds me of Detroit so much. I love the vibe- cool, but not cool, the people- mostly because it's a mix of punk, cool, pretentious and normal all rolled into one, the drinks-not super pricey, and the area- I love downtown.

What an adorable dive bar this is. Paul and I wandered in after a disappointing bacon-wrapped matzo ball experience at the Gorbals, and we were quite thrilled with the place. Every time I go downtown I wonder how and why these fools pay through the nose to live in downtown lofts. Now I know! It's this great bar! But seriously, it's cheap, there's plenty on the walls to look at, and the bartender was cool.

Not the most hygienic bar in DTLA, but if you want your bar to smell like flowers then I rather you not come here. And I'm sure all the people that love this place would rather you stick with your LA Exchange or whatever, and stay away.
Cheap booze. Drunk, awesome people. A dance floor that doesn't require you to know how to dance but to just have fun.
Let me help you plan your night: You make your appearance at the lounge your friends wanted to go, nurse your $30 drink for an hour or two, and then run like hell to Bar 107 to get shitfaced and have a crazy night!
THE place to go to to finish up your night! Also what I noticed is that you either love this place or you hate it. I really like it so I don't care what the rest of you think. :D -

Love stopping by this bar when I'm nearby. Drinks are cheap, there's a dancefloor in the back (although the music choice is questionable), and there's a photobooth. Ive found the service to always be decent and the people that come here are a mixed crowd. Don't go out of your way to come here but if you're bar hopping/crawling, definitely stop by and pet the white horse.

On the slow nights when it's not so crowded....107 doesn't reek of urine as much.
At least on Sunday nights in DTLA...when it's dead everywhere...107 isn't so bad. -

I found my new hole in the wall.
People are diverse and I love it. You have your few "creep at the bar" men, but you can never avoid those.
Every time I go there's something worth mentioning, the last one was hipsters yelling at each other, "You don't know me!" HAHAHA! That's just entertainment.
oh oh, and there's so many cool things to stare at, you will notice something new every time!
Dj's and music style can range. It's mostly good except for that time there was a band but good company and good drinks go a long way. Plus, when the music is good, you can dance the night away and pretend no one is watching!
I would suggest parking in the $5 lot if there isn't meter parking just because it is really UGLY 2 blocks down. Unless you're into that kind of thing lol. -

On Veteran's Day 11/11/11 I'd like to honor my dad, the most badass veteran, by reviewing Bar 107.
Although Bar 107 is in DTLA, it brings me back home. This place looks and feels like my dad. Yes, they play "dad rock." You know, the classics-- The Eagles, The Who, Steely Dan, America, etc. And to top it off, it's a Chicago bar! If you look closely among all the crazy crap on the walls, you'll see a Blackhawks jersey, a sign for Chicago-style hotdogs and a Bears hat. This place is the epitome of my dad, from the hole-in-the-wall feel to the Old Style sign out front.
Having that said, I love it here for nostalgia reasons. The drinks are also pretty cheap and they have a great dance floor in back. And the backbar is too cute!
Get on over to Bar 107 if you have a badass, veteran dad like mine and want to experience his essence in bar-form.Listed in: Sausage Fest, Grab a drink in DTLA!

This place is a solid dive bar. No cover, hardly a line, easy to find free street parking, and $5 tallboy PBRs. I'm even girl crushing on the back room bartender. (I wanted to take a picture for all of you, but I decided that was creepy.)
But I had to dock it two stars for the following:
1) I understand that cool bars get popular over the years, but this spot is so crowded after 11 that you can barely move. The dance floor? Crazy.
2) Really? ONE restroom stall for the ladies? As I waited in line, every lady said the same thing. "My ONE complaint about this place is the restroom situation."
TIP: Get there early (before 10) and snag the back room. It's large enough for a big group, and the bar line is always short. It also stays cooler in there because of the AC and fans. It's cash only back there, though. -

When it's semi-crowded that's when Bar 107 is at its best! When it gets too packed (like on Friday-Saturday nights) then its a huge clusterfuck. The bar doesn't have too much room to move around so you'll feel like you're at a p.o.w. camp being pushed along with the hoarde when its crowded. Stinky, unwashed hair hipster pressed up against my skin. Yuck!!
Photo booth in the back of the dance floor is ultra cool. Secret bar hidden way in the back is the way I go to get my drinks. Ja! -

What can I say, I love a divey bar with crazy crap on the walls. Perhaps I was a little tipsy by the time I got here but I was tickled by the giant white horse (not literally) bolted to the bar and the random assortment of downtown denizens. It's probably the closest approximation to Alex's Bar I've seen so far in downtown LA, and as such, has earned a special place in my heart. Cheap(ish) drinks, super-casual ambiance--not a bad to place to end the night.

The beer is cheap! There's all kinds of random stuff on the walls! Its hard to move around when it gets too crowded...but if you're lucky enough you can grab a booth near the door and then you won't have to dodge every other person that walks in. ATM near the front too....I don't think the bar takes credit cards.

Went there after Devil's night drive-in and had a great time. The 80's music was reminiscent of the "Roq of the 80's.". The Siouxie Sioux look alike bartender could step it up a little, but overall it was a cool place to have a drink and look at the ladies! Not sure if it's like this every Saturday night but it was definitely the place to be in DTLA!

I don't really know where to start, so here goes...
At 6pm there's FREE pizza from GARAGE PIZZA (hh). The music is chill (no top 4D), photo booth, drinking booths, standing room, back room booths by the photo booth where you may stand OR sit, a thirty-foot bar rail (measured it with my iphone, so don't be a dick if i'm not exact), and dark-to-medium ambient lighting.
In addition to the amenities: It's downtown LA so the hummer/bmw crowd will be limited, there's plenty of shit to tie your bike to... What else? More amenities: A/C, pinball, cheap drinks, nice bartender, nice patrons, t.v.'s, adjacent to Little Tokyo... I'm running out of comma's.
This area is "up-and-coming", so, in three years the whiskey will be nine bucks plus tip and the beer's eight, so get it while you can. If you come thru, facebook me. I live about two blocks down the street. I'll get there before you can say, "$2 PBR." -

If you wanna ride, go ride the white horse! haha (yes, I've slightly changed the lyrics).
Enough to say that this is one of my favorite places when I'm in the historic core of downtown LA. A must on your artwalk bar crawl list. This place has interesting and eclectic decorations, a cool nerdy, hipster and everyone in between vibe. They have a small dance floor area too, and they do play the coolest music too! From Mazzy Star to Blondie to Depeche Mode, they've got it all! :) and there's a pinball table!
Their beer is average priced, but not expensive ($6 for a Stella) and the bartenders can be quick to take your order. It gets really packed during artwalk nights, so you should get there earlier. In all of the times that I've been, I have always had a great time!
The one thing that I suggest is to have their name clearly displayed as some people may pass it by and not notice that it is indeed, bar 107, the bar they were looking for. They have a sign that says Old Style, so it can be a bit confusing, but if you see that sign, you have arrived at Bar 107 yelpers. Let the good times roll! -

I decided to hit up Bar 107 this past Saturday night and I gotta say that after going here a few times now, I have yet to be disappointed!
The place has a funky smell to it sometimes but that could be for two reasons. One, it's a dive bar and most dive bars have a funky smell or two, it's probably the economically diverse crowd that visits this establishment. (AND FOR THE RECORD, I KNOW IT'S NOT ME BECAUSE I ALWAYS SHOWER BEFORE I GO OUT ;) )
In any event, I love this bar because of the value that you get when it comes to the drinks. I usually stick to my Newcastle, which is $5 here. Not bad! Also, they have your "white-trashy/working man" beer here for cheap; PBR, Schiltz, Tecate.
As far as the music is concerned, it's usually a hit or miss. Friday's and Saturday's, they have a DJ who usually plays 80's or 90's. Sometimes they play disco but the crowd will tell him to switch the music after awhile. They have a pretty good size dance floor but I usually hit up the backroom bar where they have more seating, classic arcade video games, and one of the HOTTEST and sweetest bartenders in all of LA!
Overall, if your looking for good value on drinks and flashback music, Bar 107 is your place.
P.S.
Parking is available for $3.50 on 3rd and Los Angeles. Just watch out for the rats! -

ah, Bar 107-- I've only been a couple times, but all of my visits have been interesting to say the least.
It's your typical dive bar fare: PBR tall boys, sticky floors, and questionable stenches. All mixed in with your hipster LA bar crowd. Not necessarily the kind of bar I might usually go to, but I can definitely hang out here on occasion.
The last time I went, there was a drunken karaoke contest, and a girl vomited at the doorway of the ladies' room. Hey, at least she got to the door??
It's definitely a place that won't please everybody, but it has a small charm to it. Try it out, see if you like it. I guarantee it'll be an experience. -

Pretty awesome place, especially for a dive bar. Pretty big too. They have standard seating in front, a dance room in the back, and a lounge way in the back equipped with another bar and video game machine tables. I'd prefer a pool table in the middle room, but that's just me.
My only gripe is that the have an Old Style bar sign in front but don't sell Old Style. Maybe they should move the sign inside and mount it next the rest of the Chicago paraphernalia that lines the walls. Aside from the decor, there's really absolutely nothing Chicago about this place.
Don't come here expecting to watch a Chicago sports game either, their TV's are small and at least 10/15 years old. -
Review from Monis R.

There was a singing contest going on at Bar 107 in the DTLA.
Jezabelle Wong, who's mother and father are from Hong Kong, went to the karaoke bar with her two friends Erick Fong and Aisha Ong. Together, they sang a super cheesy bubble gum Top 40 pop song about loose women and a guy's dong.
Why did they sing the 8-minute long song? The answer is quite simple really. They all wanted to win the the grand prize, a hand-blown glass bong.
True story. I would have put myself in the rhyme but Rose doesn't go well with bong.
I really wanted to win the prize. I was incoherent enough to truly believe that any sound which came out of my mouth was in tune and in sync with the rhythm and background instrumental.
It was a ruckus crowd. Migrated Los Angelenos hipsters mixed with locals and yokels of different flavors and demographics filled the small space surrounding the karaoke stage in the back of a bar I could only tell as a Chicago man cave gone slightly astray from being Chicago themed and more along the lines of a-three-ring circus that never quite got off the ground.
Prior to 11 or 1130, depending on when the karaoke host wants to start, you can warm up with any song you'd like. Once the lights go dim and the show begins a flamboyant Naval sea captain introduces the judges which range from a snaggle-toothed honky truck driver, a live version of a filthy mouthed Barbie doll, and a Big Lebowski hippie stoner dude. Each judge is up front in what they want to see and how you're going to last through the song. The female judges usually want to see skin, no matter if you're a man or a woman. You never know what the male judges are into, they have a pretty wide open mind, it all depends on the given karaoke night you go to.
I did not warm up by performing a song on stage. My warm up routine consisted of Schlitz, Old Style, and tequila (not in that order).
I never know what song to pick when singing karaoke. I don't memorize words. I love music and have every song in my iTunes folder that is listed in the karaoke song book, but I don't know any of the lyrics. Whereas many people can memorize a song after at least 10 times of hearing one, even after 100 listens I still won't know what is being sung. That being said, I picked the easiest song in the book, "Why Don't We Do It in the Road," by The Beatles. It's a song by The Beatles which is even easier than, "Yellow Submarine." The entire song consists of the title, "Why Don't We Do It in the Road," over and over again with a key change every once in a while. I thought it was kind of dirty and risque, yet easy enough for me to memorize. The perfect Monis song.
I was gonged off after one minute of the little over two minute song. Apparently the judges didn't enjoy hearing "Why Don't We Do It in the Road," ad nauseum. I moved my hips and received some shrieks and yells from the ladies, but still got gonged off.
"Pick something a little more difficult next time and we'll let you stay on," the truck driver said.
"But hey, we liked your ambitions and you made the easiest song in the book somewhat interesting, especially with those bitchin' hips, even if you didn't take anything off. We're going to give you a prize anyway," the dirty Barbie Doll said.
There were only two prizes given away that night. The winner received the bong. Unfortunately, it didn't go to Jezabelle Wong, who's mother and father are from Hong Kong.
I received the other prize, a 5-Hour-Energy Drink. -

If you want a small local dive bar in Downtown LA and not in the mood for stuck up boogee people, well you found it! It's your typical dive place where the bar is sticky from the Pasbt Blue Ribbon remains, and the nostalgic and eclectic paintings on the walls.
We had a blast dancing all night in the back room. It's small...but you can get your groove on to some fresh beats!

Hands down, my favorite bar in LA.
Yeah it's a little hipster, but it's really not that bad. If it's too busy, there's 2 bars. If you fee like dancing, there's a whole room just for that. If you want PBR...they've got cheap tallboys.
I've gone several times and I have yet to have an awful time. -

Cheap, friendly mixed crowd. Love it. The drinks are cheap not the crowd...wait what am I saying...Go BLACKHAWKS!
I stole somebody's spot at Gong Show Karaoke and killed it with All Along The Watchtower but was called out by the helmet wearing dude.
I'm okay with that. The people LOVED me. I will be back.
HOWEVER! The ladies room line will kill you. Try to sneak out to Pete's or, you know, just go home. That's what I do. The line is too long, man. -

When I feel like getting wasted and NOT dressing up, Bar 107 is one of the first bars that pop into my head. It's a very dive-y, casual and dark place--perfect to sort of unwind during the week. The weekend does get a bit rowdy with both hipsters/locals but it's not bad.
Drink prices are pretty cheap (say about $7/glass and $5/PBR?). Service is rugged but friendly/prompt.
Bar 107 is kind of your "maybe I'd stumble in if I were a super drunk biker" neighborhood bar...in a good way. It's definitely a step up from the Down & Out.
LOST? Look for the bar with the old English-style sign and the security guard sitting outside.Listed in: Living in DTLA: Gallery Row…, Foods Under $6 in DTLA

When I was living in LA this was a place I went to a few times, including my last night in town. Compared to a lot of other LA bars, it is not nearly as full of hipster trash crap as it could be. The drinks are effing expensive, so this is the sort of place you'd want to pregame. And don't come here for the booze; ask the bartender for a recommendation (that means YOUR OPINION DUMBASS) and she'll brush you off as some incompetent retard. Oh, I'm sorry, pay 7 dollars for a tall can of Tecate? I thought since your prices were so overly-rapish that I might be able to get a friggin recommendation on the real booze that you have. But no, I get a smart ass bartender. At least she was f*cking cute...
Get hot and sweaty on the dance floor and listen to guys doing coke in the bathroom. It's all things an urban bar should be, except for maybe the steep as* prices. -

Two words for you: PHOTO BOOTH. Seriously, this joint could blow chunks and still get 4 stars for the photo booth alone, even if the back room in which the booth is situated does smell faintly of urine.
A few months ago, GT and I tucked into this dark bar for a pre-show drink; an old friend of GT's was in town from New York and his band was playing a show at a nearby theater that served beer and wine only. BUMMER. I yelped the vicinity and found the listing for this place, turned to GT, and said:
"I have two words for you: PHOTO. BOOTH."
And away we went!
This place is small and nondescript; it would be easy to miss it from the street, even when looking for it, if not for the Large Bouncer standing outside, checking IDs. We wandered inside and felt a bit out of place. Definitely a locals bar, and we were clearly outsiders looking in. While GT ordered drinks I sat down in one of the giant semi-circle booth and looked around the room for the Photo Booth, while trying to look as if I wasn't looking around the room for the Photo Booth. GT came over with the drinks. "Where do you think the Photo Booth is," I stage whispered. I was a woman obsessed.
GT looked around too. "Stop looking around," I hissed. GT glared at me and kept looking around the room. The couple in the giant booth adjacent to ours stared openly at us both and looked bemused.
People who've never been in Bar 107 before stand out in a place like this, mostly because the walls are adorned with tchotchke shit from a variety of eras, locales, sources, and tastes, to great effect: the place is a treasure trove of grandma yard sale finds mixed with a hipster aesthetic and a devil-may-care execution. I could have stared at the walls all night, but were we due back at the theater in less than half an hour. Time to get down with our bad selves behind the velvet curtain.
We crossed into the quiet, empty back room, and there it stood. The Photo Booth. $2. Oh hells yes.
We crammed ourselves inside the booth and shoved our dollars into the money hole. Then, countdown began. We kiss. Countdown. We make smooshy faces. Countdown. We pretend to be spies - sexy, sexy spies - we make love to the camera with our eyebrows. Countdown. We kiss again, while smiling.
We waited for a very long time for our photo strip - long enough that we almost gave up, twice. After about 15 minutes, the machine started making strange noises. We waited, more hopefully and with less foot-tapping, and sure enough: a thin black and white strip spurted out of the photo slot. It was wet, so we finished our drinks at the bar and waited for the dad-blasted thing to develop.
Boy, howdy, it was well worth the wait! The little machine that could produced four of the best photographs we've taken as a couple, rendered in timeless black and white. We proudly pinned it to the wall above our bed, and I look at it every morning and evening.
Definitely worth a stop if you're anywhere nearby.Listed in: Booze me or lose me.

DIVE BAR ALERT!! I ran through my dive bar recipe checklist as follows:
Cheap beer selections?
Check! I had a heck of a time deciding between Olympia, Old Style, Schlitz and PBR tallboy!!
General theadbare feel?
Check!! This converted old theater lobby (complete with ticket windows still intact) is chock full of vintage beer signs, knick knacks, and highly interesting and entertaining dust collectors (which have been doing their job quite well!!)
Good music?
Check! A recent sing-along (or more like shout along) with Boz Scaggs' "Lido Shuffle" was so inspired as to make me order another Schlitz!
Approachable and fun crowd?
Check! Really easy to make friends quickly here.
All this and more- right in the heart of DTLA- that's what I'm talking about!!
See ya' there! -

Smells like puke, like any good dive bar should. I wouldn't bring any expectations here, sometimes it's really fun, sometimes not. Pluses? Cheap Tecate tall cans and Wednesday karaoke gong shows (maybe because they gave me a good score). Good to start off or end the night here, but I'm never too inclined to stay.

I love this place!!! Even though it smells like puke and the ladies room is small and there is only one stall, there plenty of good things to love about this place. Reasonable drink prices, photo booth, good tunes and good people watching. Every time, I go its a different experience. Whether it be packed like a sardine on a Saturday night or getting kicked out after a weak girl fight on a Sunday afternoon. I always have a good time.
Just dont take this place too seriously. Take it for what it is, a simple raunchy dive bar. -

I'm not usually a fan of dives, but Bar 107 is just so eclectic and fun that I couldn't help but be grudgingly entertained when I visited with Brittany Y. last weekend.
The place is really difficult to find -- it's across the street from Pete's, and I don't think the sign says Bar 107, so you'll probably have to ask someone. The front room is your typical bar, and the back is a small dance floor. Expect a mixed crowd (everyone from tattooed hipsters to ghetto locals to businessmen) and the strangest decor you'll see on this side of downtown.
Like everyone else has mentioned, they have $5 PBR -- don't bother with any other drinks, just do it. The photobooth is tons of fun, although depending on when you get there you may or may not have to wait in line. And the music when we went was a kickass mix of 80s and 90s hits. I finally got a chance to bust out my "Push It" moves and singalong skills! -

We went because of the DJ...
Alex was doing his thing on the turn-tables and we were diggin his groove but alas I am not sure I would frequent Bar 107 again on my own for drinking pleasures nor ambiance.
This is a classic dive bar, cheap drinks, questionable bathrooms, and odd shyt hung from the walls. Located not far from one of my favorite downtown spots "Pete's Cafe". The parking garage is not far and at $5.00 not terribly expensive. They sell Tall cans of Pabst and Tecate LOL that also seems to be a signature for a dive bar hahahaha
The crowd was mixed age the back room where the dancing was I think I saw more girls dancing with girls than anything BUMMER huh? well anyhoo it's not that sort of place anyway, people aren't coming here to dance they are going to throw back a few and my guess is the music is the back drop to the evening not the intent.

This is a pretty awesome dive bar it's always a party in here. Always gets really crowded. I like going all the way to the back part of the bar its usually less crowded and there's bar that is less crowded. I had the bathrooms here there's only ONE stall! WTH! The decor in this bar is pretty funny it has an artsy vibe and many artsy people come here. Cheap drinks, good djs, no cover, and there are tons of people selling bacon wraps outside! Guaranteed to have a good time!
