Description

It's easy to feel a little weak in the knees at the HMS Bounty Bar on Wilshire in Koreatown. After all, you're practically underwater, what with all the nautical accoutrements and Old World paneling that line the walls. But you can still fortify yourself with a thick steak or a Dark & Stormy from the bar while chatting up the clientele that runs the gamut from Korean grandmothers to downtown hipsters. Making a break for the head is another adventure altogether, one that requires a trip through the fading halls of the attached Gaylord Apartments into a thin, dark room that abuts the laundry facilities.

  • 2012 | Best Bar Bathroom

    The 3300 block of Wilshire, home to the HMS Bounty Bar, wasn't always sleepy. The fabulous Ambassador Hotel used to loom large across the street, and the Bounty is one of the last witnesses to its faded glamour, its ghosts felt in the old jazz jukebox, wood paneling and strong drinks. Legend has it that Winston Churchill once had a meal in the tiny space. If you have to use the facilities, however, things get complicated. The journey starts in the lobby of the neighboring 1920s-era apartment... More »
