by Princeton A. on I'm good friends with the owner of this venue so this review might be biased. This is one of those venues that has great pictures. I mean the pictures of the venue looks much better than the actual venue. I've never had a meal there but I'm guessing the food is good since the owner is a 20 yrs restaurant veteran. I was one of the promoters that launched this venue on Fridays. It was a great night, we had all kinds of celebs come out in their jeans and PJs to hang out. This was the spot I had my first conversation with Mel Gibson. Well Fridays lasted only 6 months and then it was replaced by urban promoters...yikes. Saturdays was good for a while but now its packed with randoms but still the best night to go there. Avoid Fridays at all cost. Make sure you get on a guest list on Saturdays otherwise you will have to pay $20 and wait in some long ass line. New clubs opens in Hollywood all the time. To find the best option for you, just message me on rateclubs or check out my website. eVita Parties provides Hollywood Guest List to Hollywood Clubs & Los Angeles Events.
by Ervin Kesterson on Came here 2 times. Nice bar, there is an upstairs and and a downstairs, and another 3rd floor, private tables upstairs as well. Good music, and a mix crowd. The only thing that I did not like is that it gets sooo crowded in there that it is even hard to get through to go upstairs or downstairs. Parking is also difficult on Howard Street, so makes sure you bring shoes to walk a few blocks. But I guess that is just the typical San Francisco thing. Sometimes the line can be long as well so you might have to wait for awhile before you get in, but both times that I've been there I had a good time. Very pretty waitresses as well wearing black, and the bouncers are also pretty nice as well.
by John C. on Once described by the Times as a dump with dignity !, a step into The Ear is like a step back in time. The food is quality pub fare and the beers fresh and cold. Prices are very reasonable indeed. Overall a great experience enhanced by a cool Jazz band playing smooth. Not usually my part of town but I will be back someday.
