107 Reviews for Liquid Kitty
My head is spinning, My cheek is stuck to something sticky, and the smell of stale beer brewed nicely through decades of barfing on the bar wafts softly through the air. Classy or tacky depending on who is in there. Moments a red light district flash before your eyes. You're either stuck in time or you've spent one too many hours at The Kitty.

No TVs. No pool table. No distractions.
Not much lighting but plenty of character. This is how a bar is supposed to be.
The bartender during the Wednesday happy hour was a true professional. Pro pours. Pro service. It's simple. Added an extra glass of water with some lime to take down our drinks that much smoother. Professional.
Talked with a girl from out of town with her compatriots while kicking it with my LA escort.
Talked with the valet guy, Nelson, who brought it to the table and is working hard to get ahead. Buen suerte mi amgo.
If you had this type of bar in SF, you'd make hand-over-fist.
It's that simple.
That's how it should be done!

It's a nice place to have a beer and have a conversation. There is good music. The only bad thing I guess that can come from this place is that it is very dim and sometimes I bump into the wall. I don't have the greatest vision in the world so maybe that is partially my fault.
It's a nice place to hit after work.

I fail.
Damnit, Kitty ... one drink! I said I'd meet the girls for ONE drink and I'd be on my way.
But you had me at Low Life... a pbr AND a shot (or at times, 2 shots) of Jim Bean for $4 and it was all over.
Liquid Kitty is a loud, dimly lit, red vortex that sucks you in and spits you out in a drunken stupor. Strong drinks, friendly bartenders, street park for free or valet for $4, divey bar with a back table area you can reserve and great for groups of 20 or so.
You win this round Kitty! Score is 2 and 0... and I'm always ready for more.

None of this happened the night I was at the Kitty, nor did it rain or were animals harmed. But legitimate, deliciously concocted martinis were made and drank. Rinse & repeat.

But ours goes to 11.
This place is LOUD. This is the joint you go to when you want to party your balls off. Seriously. You don't come waltzing in here to talk about how your lame-o boyfriend is acting "strange" or that you think your lady is banging other dewds.
You come here to drink. You also come here to nod like you can actually hear what the other person is saying....then you drink more.
That's about it, folks.
Don't half step. Order a Tahitian: pint glass of PBR with a shot of tequila dropped into it.

LA is way too big for a petite k-fob like me.
Last night, I've learned that LA is more than just Hoover, Vermont, Normandie and Western exits (ktown exits). I ventured out to the big scary unknown LA territory to meet up with some beautiful yelpettes at Liquid Kitty.
The valet fee was $4. I saw some street parking spaces but I was too scared and didn't want to walk in the dark by myself.
The doorman didn't look scary but friendly.
The place is dark and dive-y but I felt at ease and welcomed.
The two bartenders (forgot their names) were wonderful and magical, shaking up some delish martinis.
The drink, key lime (?), was fabulous. I can't complain about the drink... stiff and limey.
The music/band wasn't to my liking but what do i know about music?!
The crowd was mixed. Only beautiful people worth looking and talking to were my yelp girls and Shauna's ex roommie.
I asked for extra olives and I got a large cup of olives.
I asked for more olives and the cup was refilled with olives.
I would've asked the bartender to marry me for more olives but marriage is so overrated.
Thanks Shauna for a wonderful and lost but not so scary night!

I called a couple of weeks ago and reserved the back room for my girls' night out last night. I'm completely impressed they spelled my name right on the reserved signs for the tables last night. Plus, it's free to reserve the semi-private room.
I've waxed poetic about the Kitty before so I'm just using this space to thank everyone who came out last night. Girls from across Southern California (Long Beach! Orange County! The Valley! East San Gabriel Valley! And of course, LA!) drank and grooved to the live band.
A list of drinks ordered:
Key Lime martini
Chocolate cake martini
Girl Scouts shots
Washington Apple martini
Bloody Mary
Whiskey sour
Manhattan
Sidecar
The Omen
The Magic Christian
Rosebud
and so many more.....
The Kitty bartenders are very generous with their olives and refreshed a dirty martini for me when it went warm.
Huzzah, what a party!

Again, it's on Pico and fairly easy to get in. It's a sweet little dark place to drink your cares away. The martinis are super strong and it's a great place to hang out with friends.

I gave you another chance
I wanted to like you
I came back
I was looking forward to a night out with the girls and silly girly drinks
I ordered a chocolate cake martini
Does it get any more girly than that?
Well what I got was not a chocolate cake martini
I'm not sure what it was but a chocolate cake martini it was not
I ended up getting a bloody mary with extra tabasco sauce instead and eating a glass full of olives
I just don't get the Kitty vibe........

Service is excellent. Ambiance is purrfect. Dark, sexy, soft lighting, good music, plenty of seating and a beautiful back-lit wood bar. Next time that I'm in LA, I hope to go back.

If you feel like having a drink in the dark, this is your place. It is so dark you can't see a foot in front of you but the drinks are great and pretty reasonable. A great place to hang out when waiting for a table at Don Antonio's (across the street). Good drinks that get the job done. ;)
good strong drinks. strange mix of people (real alcoholics, people slouched over, young energetic college students, and some professionals etc).
i've been a few times. i dont go unless others tell me to go. its not a place id hang out at. too loud to have a conversation. its more like a get a drink or two and leave type of place, for me.
Super-strong drinks.
Friendly, indulgent bartenders.
Choice people-watching and -meeting.
Sometimes it's busy; sometimes it's not. (Like most places.)
Awesome music every night. (Especially Monday night karaoke, because everyone sings like they realize that no one's going to care in the morning. What a concept!)
Cool light fixtures. (Which become even cooler around your second drink.)
Comfy places to sit, if you so desire.
Bad ideas swirling around you. (But they're the best kind of bad ideas.)
What's not to love?
The Kitty doesn't do anything halfway. It's not for the faint of heart or liver. And in a town where so many places half-ass it, I love them for it.
Logistics: Look for the neon martini glass flashing on the south side of Pico between Bundy and Barrington. Street parking is plentiful most nights; other nights, it's worth the few bucks to valet. Keep an eye out for special events like the Punk Rock BBQ.
Came here with my favorite drinking buddy of all time over the weekend, which happens to be my bf. I could confirm this was the most enjoyable, normal time I've had @ LK. Every other time has gone horribly wrong, including a person within our group getting a DUI right outside the bar after he insisted he was "fine", on a separate occasion with the valet losing my friend's keys, or the following strange story.
*circa late 2006*
Was back in town visiting from SF having a cocktail with a gf. We had just done a yoga class and decided to grab a drink at this bar to catch up. Yes, this bar is so low key, you could come here wearing yoga pants and jacket and no one actually cares. Any rate, to make the long story as short as possible, we were just shooting the breeze with these 2 people sitting next to us. The girl sitting next to my friend starts talking to her, and the Chinese dude sitting next to me begins to literally tell me his life story.
Chinese Dude: Me, me me me me me, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I me me me me me me blah blah blah, ditty, blah blah, I'm an actor, me me me I I I I I and me.
This went on for about 15-20 minutes. I looked over at my gf trying to give her a "let's jet" look, but she seemed to be pretty enveloped with her conversation.
CD: Me me me me I I I I I I me me me blah blah blah blah, me, myself and I.
Another 15-20 minutes goes by when I've had enough to say, as graciously as possible, "okay... we really need to wake up early tomorrow morning". That was the first time I ever got a word in with him the last half hour.
Next day, out of curiosity, went on IMDB to see if he was bs-ing me and it turns out that he really was truthful about the small TV roles he had talked about. But he did forget to mention that he also did soft porn. You know... the Cinemax stuff they air at 2am. Interesting.
Any rate, back to the present day, Liquid Kitty is a quasi dive bar you would probably expect to see in the SF Valley, except the walls have been re-painted & refinished and the crowd isn't exactly the dive crowd. Well, maybe some ex-soft porn stars hovering about.
The hard core ones I suppose stay in the valley.
It is aesthetically ugly both on the outside and the inside. The drinks are STIFF... and the bartender mixed my French Martinis last Saturday night perfectly... not too sweet nor syrupy, just smooth & perfect! Live DJ spinning records to 60's rock on Sat night - really not my style of music, but I suppose cool for those who appreciate.

My first visit here tonight was likely also my last.
Liquid Kitty's sign has only a martini on it, no name to identify this bar (see photo). Fortunately I knew the address or I might still be driving around looking for it.
I was there just before 5pm. I stood on the sidewalk in front of the place as the door was opened, and was hit in the face with an odd musty-type odor. I couldn't tell if it was just stale booze smell or what in the heck it was, but it persisted during the couple hours I was inside the bar, and when I could stand it no more, I left.
I've been in a lot of dive bars in my day & this place is one of the most unpleasant I've experienced.
It is so dark you are almost blinded when you first walk in from daylight. And it's small, just one room (that I could see). The walls and carpet are black. People were straining to read the drink list due to lack of light. Ridiculous. I was thinking, why the hell did I bother to dress nice when no one can even see their hand in front of their face in the blackness.....?
I can't vouch for the martinis the place seems to be "known for" 'cause I don't drink martinis. (I had a Stella.) So it appears that the Kitty & I are a bad match in yet another way.
So you got small, dark and smelly.
As I left, what did I see out in front? A uniformed parking valet!!
You have got to be kidding. A valet for this creepy dive?
Who's zoomin' who?
That is just bizarre.

Great vibe in this place, I liked it a lot. Reminds me of something you'd find in the bay.
The Key Lime Martini was super tasty, and really strong.

For the past week I listened to my favorite Ten Years After records ("Shhh" and "Cricklewood Green") and really got off on Chick Churchill's cool organ playing. When I heard that a swinging blues organ combo was rocking Liquid Kitty on Thursday I couldn't run over there fast enough.
When I got to Liquid Pussy the Damn Well Please Band played anything they damn well pleased. They weren't that jazzy, more of a Booker T. and The MG's type groove but it made the weak but very affordable drinks go down fine.
Liquid Kitty rocks my world because it's a fine little club where you guzzle and groove. Not like some snooty jazz club where you reserve a table and pay a 2-drink minimum and a full dinner, nonoonono! This is how jazz is done, this is how saloons are done, Liquid Pussy, I love you meeces to pieces, meow!

The Kitty receives four stars, however Paula, the most exceptional bartender this side of the Atlantic, deserves all the praise one can give. Background: When the martini revival got underway, mediocre to very bad martinis served in oversized glasses were everywhere. The martini is a truly horrific drink unless a number of guidelines are strictly followed. When made properly, this high-octane drink can be refreshing even though it's nearly pure spirits. The dirty martini (god forbid), the apple martini, etc, spread like wildfire and the Liquid Kitty suddenly appeared with its discrete signage and one or two absolute choice bartenders. In Paula's care, the gin is never bruised (unless the "shaken not stirred" line is given) and the drink is served up liquid-nitrogen cold. The gold standard for this sort of thing can be found here in her. Wonderful, perfect.

When i first stumbled across this bar with my friends we referred to it as "Ciggatini" given the only sign on the exterior is a neon light alternating between a martini and a cigarette. It wasn't actually until a few visits later when we encountered the joint sober did we realize it was called "Liquid Kitty" which was a disappointment because i feel like Liquid Kitty fails to truly capture the soul of the place. The first several times i went to the bar it was on weekdays before 9 p.m. and so i always figured the bar was pretty free of patrons (which i liked), then i experienced it on a weekend and realized that the bar can both excel as a quiet place to drink some canned beer as well as a packed place with DJs. Its rare to have a bar that feels just as comfortable empty as it does full and i feel as though that's what separates this one from the rest of the pack.
The drinks are pretty cheap, it's easy to get a drink, great atmosphere, excellent mix of people. Sounds like a winning combination to me.

4 stars for the Strong and Tasty Martinis. I recommend the Key Lime if you are in the mood for a sweet tasting Martini. $7 for medium size & $10 for large.
Pro: Good drinks. Reasonable prices. Nice bartenders. Diverse crowd (race & age).
Cons: Too loud to have a conversation with anyone. I had to keep asking the guy talking to me to repeat what he was saying to me. He was telling me how the phrase "liquid kitty" came about: It's an inside joke about a guy that got so drunk, while discussing finances, whenever he mentioned "liquidity" he would pronouce it "liquid kitty".
I thought that was pretty funny. It must have been the result of slurring and draggin the word, "liquidity" out.
Happy Hour: 5-8 M-F & on Sunday.
Parking: Valet & street meter parking.
This bar can either be fun or really lame--so definitely a hit or miss kind of place. I have been here when it is completely full of people and when there are maybe 3 others total in the bar, so just have a back up plan in mind if you go here. What it is great for is after grabbing mexican food across the street at Don Antonios you can walk here and grab some of the best martinis in LA.
They drinks are reasonably priced and the bar tenders are always willing to make new friends! I went here on halloween and asked if they had any halloween special drinks and the bar tender looked at me and said..."ummm...a jack and coke because it sounds like a jack o latern??" ha ha i think that sums up the types of people that hang out here--a laid back no frills crew

If you are meeting a girl/guy and hope to get laid, this is the stop over place to take them before you go back to your place. Presumably you have eaten dinner but you don't wanna look like a total douche so you decide to go somewhere and "hang out" before you get enough courage to take her/him back to your lair. And since you only had wine/beer with dinner you need something stronger to put you over the edge into the Tropical Island mood...
this is where LIQUID KITTY fulfills its purpose. This is its ONLY purpose. It is not a good meat market,. there is no good music. It is too dark and all the people who frequent here are creepy/ugly. Where Liquid Kitty excels is in bridging the night - if you take potential mate here, guaranteed you will get them DRUNK and you will be heading home by the 2nd drink. I don't know why, this place just has this power. Trust me.

Here kitty, kitty. Sip on cocktails at the Liquid Kitty. Known for their martinis, doubles served in a fish-bowl sized martini glass, this bar is dark and mellow. Not into martinis, try the Nine Lives Mai Tai. The bar is so dark in fact, that you might accidentally (or intentionally) grope the person next to you--just don't start a cat fight. The cozy, wall-hugging banquettes provide a great make-out scene (if you were a tween at a middle school dance) while the DJ spins soul and funk tunes. And although the crowd is a mix of young professionals, falling down drunk in this place is the norm, not the exception. The Liquid Kitty mixes it up everyday of the week from Kitty-oke Mondays to live music Sundays. This bar is well worth one of your nine lives.
oh liquid kitty, you know how i love thee.
where do i start?
the staff really know how to make a nice beverage and the lowlife is perfect for those on a budget, $5 for a pbr and a shot. my personal fav is the rosebud. i usually drink scotch but i think they put crack in em cuz once i have one i just can't stop.
kittyoke is always a good time on monday nights. last tine i went there was this dude with a bunch of ladies. i think he was their slave or somethin but he did a spectacular version of dust in the wind that i'll never forget.
whenever i'm in los angeles i try and make it here at least once as a starter for the evening or the topper.
the add on of the smokin patio where you can drink and smoke makes me smile.
make sure you have a designated driver when spending the evening here cuz nothin kills a good buzz like the 5-0 pullin ya over.
i love you love you love you!
Oh Liquid Kitty, you remind me of a wedding I went to at the V.A. once. With your drabby brown carpet, super dark lighting, pleather seating, odd smells, sticky interior and immensely over-served guests you hit all the high notes required for whiskey tango status. Funny though, the only item on your cocktail menu worthy of a dive bar medal is the "Low Life"; a Pabst Blue Ribbon can accompanied by any well shot for $5. The rest of your menu consists of fancy (and DELICIOUS) martinis that are worthy of any 5-star swanky Westside locale.
I sampled 3 of your drinks and by far the 'Harold and Maude' was my little lover. The banana liquor in it made it taste like Hawaii in my mouth. Alooooooha!
By the 3rd round of drinks the decor in Liquid Kitty was the least of my worries, I was having more drunken fun than incestuous Kentucky twins at a family reunion. Can't wait to go back, and soon... a big MEOW for my new favorite Kitty.

this bar is delightfully dark and unapologetically out to get you drunk.
if you're coming with a group, reserve the back booths. you won't find a seat otherwise, i'm sure.
based on past experiences, i'm going to say this is an excellent place to make-out with a stranger.
minus one star only because you pretty much have to valet.

Stiff drinks all the way! Now this is place that knows how to please the lushes. The martinis are tasty and strong. Along with everyone else, I highly recommend the Mai Tai. Almost every previous Mai Tai I've tried has been too much on the sweet side, but LK got it just right.
It's also right across the street from Don Antonio's, so we like to grab a drink at the Kitty while wait for our table at DA. You can valet at DA for cheap, too.

Sunday morning, my phone rang and woke me up. The text from my friend says "Honey are you ok?" What do you mean, of course I'm ok. What time is it anyway? Wow, it's almost noon, I better get up... OOOOUCH!!!! My head hurts sooooo bad. OH MAN, I AM NOT OK!!! I feel like crap, what the hell happened last night? I remember I was at the bar for my good friend's farewell party, and... and???
Ok, I better do some reality check.
Head: Hurting as hell but no injury. No blood streaming down either.
Purse: Right there next to my bed.
Wallet: Still in my purse.
Cell phone: Yeah, I have it obviously.
Memories: ...clear, I can remember everything that happened last night (or so I think).
Panties: Still on me. Phew! (Hey, just in case...)
Good, I'm good. Nothing happened, nor I did nothing stupid. Man, I blame Liquid Kitty for my Sunday morning panic!
I had 1 and a half martini. Just 1 and a half. Yeah, not much at all right? But they were soooo strong!!! I had my first martini, and I had to ask for a side glass of cranberry juice to thin it out. Very tasty, but dangerously strong. Then I got this pretty banana flavored martini. Sooooo good, but once again, super strong! Within 1 and a half drink, I was so tipsy. So happy. Thank god I had little reason left to think, "Ok, I shouldn't finish this drink coz if I did, I might end up passing out on the alley next to the dumpster."
My friend told me that he once took his first date to this bar. Hmmm, clever. No girl wants to be super tipsy on the first date, not to mention to end up by the dumpster on the alley, and a glass of martini here is more than enough to get you buzzed. What a way to achieve a cheap date!!
Anyway, regardless of my horrible hangover the next day, I had so much fun. Everybody was a happy drunk thanks to their yummy martini, and good that it didn't become "why are you leaving us?" sobbing party. We had the very dark back booth all to ourselves, and the party was awesome. This bar was also great in the way that the music wasn't too loud. Man, too many bars in LA play the music too loud that nobody can have a conversation. So extra point to this place for enabling us to talk to each other!!

there is no cover charge and you can reserve the back booth for special occasions and while the drinks may not be all that great, they're strong (and not too expensive!) and they'll mess you up good.
intimate this place is not. it's better to come here with friends than alone hoping to "hook up" and definitely don't come here on "dates". it's not very conducive to open talk and general vibing. parking can be tricky but there is valet in case you're not patient enough to scope out parking.

I had heard a lot about this place, esp their supposedly excellent martinis. So I suppose my expectations were a bit high walking in. Inside felt just like a smaller version of The Room in SM. what's up with all these SM businesses all looking the same on the inside? anyways, drinks are alright. crowd was decent, i guess. not sure if i'd go back. maybe if i was in the area and couldn't think of anything better...
