“If Liberace and the Rolling Stones got together in the 70′s to do an extreme makeover of a downtrodden dive bar, the result may have looked something like this luxurious lounge…Downtown denizens, from corporate suits to loft dwelling artists, come here because it has something for everyone: cheap Pabst beer and fine scotches, a jukebox with Sammy Davis Jr. and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and old-school video games like Ms. Pacman, Centipede and Asteroids.”

The Golden Gopher is as comforatable as the corner tap, a luxe hangout that also provides an ample selection of top shelf liquor “to go” thanks to its still valid 1905 liquor license issued when Teddy Roosevelt was Commander-in-Chief. Adjacent skyscrapers can be seen from the bar’s striking indoor/outdoor smoking patio.
Situated in the heart of Historic Downtown, the Golden Gopher is within walking distance of Staples Center, LA Live and the LA Convention Center, several major hotels and the Arts, Jewelry, Financial, and Fashion districts.
