Description
After helming the stretch of Second Street between Broadway and Hill for decades, the old Redwood Saloon has been reincarnated as a pirate's paradise. The windowless tavern is chock-full of maritime-inspired décor, including dock timbers, fishnets, nautical signs and even kitschy mermaid paintings. You've heard the expression, "When in Rome?" Well, when at the Redwood, "Do as the pirates do" -- meaning pints of beer and perhaps a shot of whisky to top things off. Though the place makes an effort to look like a divey dockworkers' bar, the drink prices undercut that atmosphere -- unless you order a Pabst. A bourbon and ginger ale will run you close to $10, but a can of PBR costs only $2 during Happy Hour (4-7 p.m., Mon.-Fri.). PBR me ASAP! The menu carries on the seafaring theme with offerings such as fried calamari, jumbo lump crab cakes and beer-battered fish and chips, but the thing to order is the burger. It's big and juicy, comes on a quality bun and is accompanied by a sizable portion of either standard or sweet potato fries. On most nights DJs man the back room, where they spin everything from '80s hits to hip-hop. On Tuesday nights blues legend Mickey Champion lights up the deck.User Reviews (3)

"Fun spot :) "
Posted by KaitlynMcC-MMX on 10/27/2009
This place is great. It doesn't hurt that I work 1/2 block away either. A nice spot to grab a beer, and their food is surprisingly delicious. Their sweet potato fries are yummy. The ambiance is fun- a little bit moody, a little bit nautical... Live music on some nights, though I haven't experienced it just yet, myself. Anyway, just a solid place to grab a beer and meet up with friends.

"It's a pirate's life for me!"

Love the pirate theme and love their happy hour deals. $2 for a PBR at a downtown LA bar? sign me up! They have a delicious assortment of bar food that is not bad compared to other more dive-leaning establishments. The only thing that is a downer is that often there is a $10 cover later when they have live music. But hey, if you want entertainment you have to pay for it.
