Everson Royce Bar
BAR SUMMARY

Behind a concrete façade marked simply 'BAR,' Everson Royce Bar + Los Angeles emerges as Downtown's most authentic late-night sanctuary, where industry insiders and discerning locals gather for exceptional cocktails in an atmosphere that prioritizes genuine hospitality over pretense.
Since 2015, co-owners Randy Clement and chef Matt Molina have cultivated ERB as more than just another Los Angeles cocktail bar—it's a post-shift refuge designed specifically for restaurant industry professionals seeking quality drinks and comfort food until 2 a.m., seven days a week. Named after Clement's twin sons and connected to the acclaimed Everson Royce wine shop in Pasadena, the bar embodies Clement's hospitality philosophy: 'Help the people. Just help the fucking people.' This unpretentious ethos has earned ERB recognition as one of the city's most beloved establishments, frequently cited in national publications for its exceptional burger and overall experience.
The cocktail program at this luxury bar Los Angeles showcases both classic precision and creative innovation. The Single Barrel Old Fashioned demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship with premium bourbon, while The E.R.B. Margarita elevates the traditional with high-quality tequila, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur. For adventurous palates, The Night Market transports guests through exotic ingredients and aromatic complexity, and Rosemary's Baby harmoniously blends gin with fresh rosemary and citrus notes. The thoughtfully curated beverage program extends beyond cocktails to include Clement's expertly selected wines and craft beers, reflecting his deep expertise from Silverlake Wine.
ERB's design strikes an elegant balance between intimacy and accessibility. The bright, welcoming interior features soft lighting that creates warmth without sacrificing sophistication, while the dark, sexy bar area buzzes with energy during peak hours. The crown jewel is the expansive outdoor patio, adorned with twinkling lights and picnic tables, perfect for groups seeking a relaxed atmosphere under the stars. This dual environment accommodates both intimate conversations and lively gatherings.
Service at Everson Royce Bar reflects the owners' hands-on approach, with Clement often personally delivering drinks and engaging with guests. The knowledgeable staff treats every patron as a VIP, sharing their passion for mixology while maintaining the welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere that defines the ERB experience. No reservations are required, though arriving early ensures optimal seating choices.
For luxury travelers and cocktail connoisseurs seeking authentic Los Angeles nightlife, Everson Royce Bar offers an unparalleled combination of exceptional drinks, genuine hospitality, and industry credibility that transforms casual evenings into memorable experiences in the heart of the Arts District.
