Power House

As a neighborhood dive, Power House has found its footing. Technically a cocktail dive, offering up classics for as little as $12 (there's even a $10 margarita during the daily 4–7pm happy hour), the renovated mainstay has erred on the side of classic dive to great results. The cocktails have actually improved since they reopened a few years ago, but sometimes you just need to spin a wheel for a mystery shot or slam down a pickleback while throwing darts on the back patio. Draft and canned beers are at nearly unbelievable prices for the area and the economy, especially during happy hour. There aren't many places left in LA where you can find both a $6 beer and a sub-$15 negroni outside of happy hour, let alone a place with a true "Cheers" energy.
