About the Business
Business owner information
Steven And Zach A.
Our continued mission is to produce nightly entertainment that presents independent, alternative, emerging artist to greater Los Angeles and welcomed travelers, while also remaining a local watering hole for the East Side neighborhood. We feature line ups that represent the color and diversity of our community, are an LGBTQ+ safe space and destination, and feature non-english speaking acts. We featured indie and urban lineups, punk, country and folk artists sets, singer/songwriter showcases, weekend drag cabaret, open mic afternoons, and expanded our DJ program and set up. We are committed to our community and have had to delay a heavily sponsored fundraiser for local BIPOC LGBT services but are committed to seeing it through one safe to do so. In a time where so many properties are being lost to global booking companies we are working hard to keep the East Side Indie!

I was having sooooo much fun dancing and running around I actually left my purse (which happens to me like twice a month) and the management was SO friendly and quick with getting back to me. I had left it and they held on to me and littterally save me. Such angels. Its a realllly cute dive bar, with good drinks and a nice outdoor space in the back. Staff was professional and fun. 10/10 recommend it felt like a nice safe space to dance

Been coming here for a few months now. Best indie music venue around LA. Solid cocktails.

If the world was coming to an end, this is where I would go.
Best bar, period. Amazing staff/ownership, huge selection of drinks (including natty wine and craft beer), the chillest back patio, and different types of entertainment every night of the week...but I kinda like the rare nights when they're "just a bar" best.
Don't sleep on the Lounge.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 15, 2021Previous reviewApparently the previous owners sucked but this new regime are my favorite people in the universe. Natty wine. Great smoking patio. Nightly live entertainment. Literally the best staff and incredible specials. This place is a piece of local history.

Sound is terrible at improv night. They need a sound guy to mic this place appropriately.
The only scotch they have is J&B
I probably would've liked the place if I wasn't here to see a show and the mediocre drinks weren't $14Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 7957375Jun 16, 2021
The perfect dive bar with great drinks and folk working, we had a blast chatting with the bartenders! They're unbelievably friendly and cool. We'll definitely be coming back!

Great back patio, good slices, CHEAP beers and cocktails.
Tabula Rasa folks took over this spot during Covid and have made a great turnaround (including a pizza pop-up) for this Silverlake staple.

I love Silverlake Lounge! I co-host the Lazy River songwriters open mic here and its a great time. The staff has been very kind to us and the locals are quite fun! A solid dive bar hang.
