Far & Dotter Timonium, MD

I was in L.A. on a business trip and stumbled across Far Bar while searching for a Happy Hour spot—and I’m so glad I did! The atmosphere here is incredible. I kicked things off with the spicy edamame and Ming’s Wings, both packed with flavor and absolutely delicious.

What really makes this place stand out, though, is the vibe. The bartenders are not only skilled but genuinely friendly, offering great food and drink recommendations. The regulars at the bar welcomed me right in, making it feel more like a neighborhood hangout than just a stop on a trip.

If you’re visiting Los Angeles and staying anywhere near Little Tokyo, Far Bar is a must. And take my advice—ask for Nate. He’s an outstanding bartender who makes the experience even better.

Honestly, this place is such a vibe. People were friendly too. Wings were delicious. Literally no complaints. I went solo and sat at the bar between people and ended up conversing with the people on both my sides. If you're friendly and looking for other friendlies, this might be a good spot to put yourself out there.
