Our Story

Prank Bar was born out of a simple idea: to create a space where people could gather, laugh, and enjoy a well-crafted drink. Nestled in the heart of Downtown LA’s bourgeoning South Park neighborhood, our establishment is more than a bar. It's a community hub, a meeting place, and a home away from home for both locals and visitors alike. Read more about the walk-up Prank Bar.

Testimonials

We had an awesome time here for a friend's birthday with an ACYE brunch and AYCD cocktail bar with a dedicated bartender! The bartender made us some fantastic drinks, many of which we ordered off-menu.The breakfast sandwiches, strawberry french toast and breakfast burritos were delicious! The house green chile salsa on the side was key, and added a nice kick to the food. I took some food home in boxes and enjoyed it the next morning!

Amazing indoor/outdoor vibe with great cocktails, good people and deliciously paired food. Live music during happy hour quite frequently and just steps from Staples Center.

Excellant! My pasta was so good! Their portions are quite generous! My friend had the steak salad and a side of fries and it was huge and very yummy. They have been on tbat corner for a long time whereas restaurants on the opposite corners have come and gone. Prank is doing something right!

This place has the best cauliflower burger I've ever had (vegetarian, not vegan) but they also have delicious cauliflower wings (pictured) and every bite was better than the last. I could eat here every day.
