What people say

The Mermaid on East 2nd Street in Los Angeles is a hidden gem that offers a unique experience for those looking for a cozy neighborhood bar. The open patio provides a tropical oasis where patrons can enjoy refreshing cocktails and savory bar snacks while listening to fantastic music. The Mermaid also hosts events that are always fun and exciting, such as their recent Valentine's Day celebration featuring horror-themed cocktails and Vday horror cards designed by local artists.

But what sets The Mermaid apart from other bars is their commitment to giving back to the community. They recently hosted Cocktails for A Cause, where $1 from each drink was donated to End Overdose, a non-profit working to end drug-related overdose deaths. It's heartwarming to see businesses like The Mermaid using their platform to make a positive impact.

Even during the holiday season, The Mermaid doesn't disappoint with their festive decorations and special pop-up events. On Christmas Day, they opened their doors at 7 pm for an evening filled with cheer, including tracking Santa with a toast throughout the world.

Overall, The Mermaid is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience in Downtown LA. With its tropical atmosphere, delicious drinks and food offerings, and commitment to giving back to the community, it's no wonder why this neighborhood bar has become such a beloved spot among locals.
