Little Joy is a local dive bar located on W Sunset Blvd in historic Echo Park. Opened in 1972, this grungy staple of the neighborhood attracts hipsters and older locals. The bar recently changed management though, so instead of playing obscure indie music they now play Top 40 pop and hip-hop, which has thinned out the tragically hip clientele. Sometimes they'll have a DJ spinning for the night and there is also a jukebox if you want to queue your favorite song when the DJ's not around. Drinks aren't too pricey for the area — you can get a Pabst Blue Ribbon or a shot for only a few dollars. While the artsy energy that once filled this spot has recently faded, you can still have a good time with friends and meet some interesting characters.

It is on Eagle Rock Boulevard in between York Boulevard and Avenue 45, and it is adjacent to a popular Chinese food restaurant. Besides bowling, there is a bar, video games, televisions and pool tables. There are frequently live music performances as well. It makes itself available for private parties, and food can be ordered from the adjacent Red Dragon restaurant. It is open late, so bowlers can drink, eat, bowl and have a good time through the night. It is open every day of the week, and there is a large private lot adjacent to the building.
There might have been a real lemon tree here before, but now there are only stone masoned walls and a painting of a tree on the back of the door. A remnant of the historic Alameda hotel, which burned down in the 1920s, this is a locally owned and managed dive bar, where karaoke-lovers and back-in-the-day personalities meet. Rumor has it that even Marilyn Monroe was seen here in the bar's heyday. Today, Lemon Tree patrons know each other's names, the bartender is friendly and the draft is likely the cheapest in town — $2.50 for domestic beers and $3.75 for import brews. Come every second Saturday of the month for karaoke night and every third Saturday for live music. Food is not served, but customers may bring their own.
