In honor of the World Dive Bar Tour’s Halloween Spectacular, this week we venture into slightly more scary territory than usual — deep Figueroa in Highland Park, for LA’s best bat-themed dive. Welcoming friendly locals of both a hipster and non-hipster variety, Little Cave has thus far avoided the dreaded dance floor adding remodel and price hike that befell its closest neighbor, the dearly departed Footsie’s. "Well Wednesdays" further drives down the drink prices, so long as you don’t mind partaking in the cheap stuff, and while DJs are known to occasionally appear, their playlist generally skews towards 80s punk rock and a generously-sized drink-accessable smokers patio allows for conversing at a reasonable volume.

This being the Halloween Spectacular, costumes are encouraged but not mandatory, treats may potentially be provided (though we make no guarantees), and tricks are generally turned a couple blocks away in Hermon Park after nightfall.

As usual, the casual debauchery starts around 9PM and gets really interesting by 10:00. Come for one drink, or stay for one too many. Bring anyone and everyone, and join us for a great time in the middle of the week. If you arrive early or late, look for the people having a damn good time (it’ll be us), or start having a damn good time on your own (we’ll find you).

Carpe Drink’em!

Footsies
2640 N. Figueroa
Los Angeles, CA 90065

The World Dive Bar Tour shall this week travel into the largely uncharted terrain east of the mystic LA river for a visit to a place called "Footsies". This playful name is grounded in a bar that features classy portraits of female nudes (no bush) on the walls, and despite having over twenty different varieties of lamps, manages to remain, as a point of pride, one of the darkest joints the tour will visit — a perfect environment for some playful flirting with the eccentric cast of regulars.

Park in the well-hidden back parking area and step through the assortment of broken chairs and barbecues into this no-frills bar, which features a single pool table, plenty of comfortable seating options, a jukebox packed with The World Dive Bar Tour’s Greatest Hits, and a fine selection of liquors and bottled beers (keg refrigeration capabilities are not found in the badlands east of the river). On a sad note, the notice out front states that the establishment is applying for renovations including a dance-floor and DJ area, so enjoy Footsies this week, while you can, before the hipster menace jumps the mighty river and runs wild all the way to the Mississippi.

Carpe Drink’em

"If you want to be cool, first you pull your headband into the cool position. Then you just lean back, put this hand in your pocket and then you wave this hand behind you like you just cut one and your trying to shoo away the stench."
