Stand aside, liver. Things are about to get uglier than that time laughing hysterically proved devastating to your pants. Echo Park’s Little Joy will do the trick – with Thursday $3 Beers and Cocktails from 6pm-2am, there’s really no reason to say “no”. As a true local favorite, Little Joy will post up as a your “dive bar prototype” with cheap drinks, a hot jukebox, and graffiti madness to get drunk and fixate on. But IBS-ers beware: there are no doors in the men’s restrooms!

With so many varieties and tastes to titillate any appetite, it’s an injustice not to try everything at least once!
