Act Like A Punk

Los Angeles is overflowing with places to go if you feel like going out for a fancy happy hour. But sometimes, you want to leave your pointy heels or slacks at home. Sometimes you want to grab a black leather jacket and let your inner punk out. Sometimes you need District 13. Nestled on Cahuenga Boulevard just a few blocks from the raucous scene of Hollywood Boulevard, District 13 lets your punk and princess mix in harmony. The walls inside this large open space are decorated in cool Banksy-like spray paint murals of everyone from famous rappers to the actual bartenders there, giving the place an uber funky warehouse feel. Luckily, their happy hour is just as cool as their décor. They do the obligatory slashing of prices during their happy hour time, but what really sets them apart from the rest of the Hollywood bars is their drink choices. Forget your standard Bud Light or Carona. You won’t find any of that at District 13. What you will find, however, is an awesome selection of 22 craft beers exclusively from California on tap, alongside 50 bottles of brew from all over the world. They also have some pretty tasty bites to go with your beer like sweet potato tots and a variety of sausages (including, of course, a bacon-wrapped L.A. Dog). So, if you are feeling like you need to let off a little steam before this weekend really gets going, make sure you bring some buds and stop off at District 13 for a beer.
