Blind Barber

Speakeasy · $$

A working barbershop on Figueroa by day; walk through it, past a Boogie Nights–style fish tank, to a ’70s backroom with mid-century booths, palm-frond wallpaper and a starlit dome. Order the Batman or a whiskey sour with a grilled cheese, and stay late when the DJ flips it to a dance floor.

Walk-inWalk in through the barbershop, or reserve a table on their app. Street parking on Figueroa.
