The Smog Cutter. Silver Lake.

I agree with Angus on this one. DO NOT go around the owner/bartender named Sunshine when she is either drunk, pregnant, or BOTH which I hear is almost all the time. Plus, they charge for TAP WATER !!!!!

your face was an elliot smith hang out in the 90s

This place is a shithole. And I totally love it.

No no NO! I will never go to the Smog Cutter again. Owners & cocktail waitrii are out to ROB you.
Twice I stood at the bar to order drinks. Sunshine was her name- says, "You buy me a shot." I thought she was kidding. Seven dollars of my money did not come back to me AND she took a shot. I didn't agree to said transaction and felt ass-raped. Same con job goes on with the waitrii.
Never again.

Pretty accurate description. Charlie forgot to mention this was an Elliott Smith hangout back in the 90's as well

This used to be a staple of mine. Not quite as hot as a year ago, but still cool. Mama, the owner will love you if you love her. Oh and, "mama like em young."

The selection has most of what you want from before 1996. But other than that, song list sucks.

Its tiny and the cocktails are not good. Three dollar buds though. Wayne th kj will move you up for 5 bucks if you have someone to impress.

Check it out. It may be your bag. It was mine and my crews for a minute.and charles bukowski used to hang here in the 80s. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
