It is a dive bar that's cash only. No judgement for morning or midday drinking. You can disappear for an hour or two before you face the world. Not a family place and not a restaurant. Dimly lit and cozy. Id definantly go back again if I get down this way.

The kind of staff with a good sense of humor who remember your name, this bar has everything: dark sexy lighting, a jukebox pumped with hits, movies on the TV and a vibe that goes unmatched anywhere else I’ve been in Cali. I love bars, I love drinking, and I LOVE The Drawing Room! I sought this place out as a daytime alcoholic haunt but will return specifically for the staff and the terrific vibes.
This is a true old school dive bar! Ashley was awesome and the drinks are excellent. Definitely check it out. It is a little pricey but pricing is in line with every other dive bar in LA. Definitely will be back. Keep in mind it is cash only but there is an ATM.
Bring a jacket because the air conditioning is on high. It’s a cash only establishment and there’s no beer on draft.
A cash only dive bar, it's very dark inside. They open at 8am, which is perfect for night shift workers. They always greet you with a smile. Drinks are reasonable and you will always walk away laughing because it is a fun atmosphere to relax and get cocktails. They also do Karaoke on Sunday nights, it's busy, but great singers and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend if you need a great dive bar. Parking is usually available in the parking lot or on the street nearby. Just watch out for street cleaning signs if you leave your car.
This is the best place in los Angeles to get roofied. My friends went there last night and we all got roofied it was sooooo fun. It’s a nice small bar where the bartenders serve you drinks with roofies so you get to go home and be like “yay! We went to the drawing room AND got roofied I love this place”
It's a great dive bar. My boyfriend Ed and I used to hang out there in the late 90's and dance and sing karaoke. Loved that bar!
Great old school bar....a place of characters. And I am a Chicago guy.
