The Semi-Tropic

10/10 would recommend! Service was amazing! Author was on point despite being busy and the food was good, beers were good, and vibes were of the charts. Def a local hang. Full house even on a random. Monday night. I live nearby so I will be back again. Happy hour ends at 6p.m not 7p.m, food menu has changed, see pictures and drink menu is updated.

Wonderful ambiance ! Was easy to find street parking even on the weekend. Very well mixed drinks ! The shishito peppers were a lovely snack to munch on. We had the bit crusher which was a very good drink (even for me - not a huge mezcal fan) and the parrot project which was milky and sweet (but not too sweet). Overall loved it and will definitely be coming back!

Cozy spot out here in echo park! Love the scene and love the vibe here. We enjoyed our visit and hope to come back again soon.

My first visit was New Year's Eve. Great service. Lively atmosphere. The music was perfect. Sitting at the bar, we were able to appreciate the talent of the bartenders. The cocktails are inventive and balanced. I didn't eat, so I'm not able to rate it, but I'm sure it is good.

Consistently good happy hour. Servers are chill. Music is delightful. My go-to EP spot.

This is totally a hidden gem. Im glad I came across and finally got to enjoy. The vibe here was fantastic. Its a dark mellow fun atmosphere. Perfect for drinks and chatting. The staff was so friendly . One of the reason why this is such a great place to be able to still socialize while there music and other people is cus the surround system is vintage and was personalized to be played up high over everything which makes the place more comfortable. The food was marvelous wasn't expecting a Mediterranean twist but definitely loving it gave the food a special kick to the flavors . The combination of the spices and texture made the food amazing. I tried the steak and fries 10/10 and the shrimp roll be cause I love shrimp. And I loved them both . Personally I like dillso I was ok with the shrimp roll but for my ppl that dont like to try new thing I would recommend to stay away. The drinks were delicious. I had mexican can shots and Jennifer gray . Both I highly recommend. Also a mango cart cocktail but which was delicious also but it has a habanero taste to it thats not my favorite. But still enjoyed it. Something else I learned was the mixers are made natural from all the spices or fruits . Naturally extracted with also give the drinks that extra flavor. More natural and not processes. This is definitely a place to come and enjoy with friends. There was actually a birthday being celebrated and they show movies on a roll down projector this is event worthy for people looking to host an event here.

I've searched for months to find a place like this. Absolutely amazing vibes here. Beautiful interior and comfy seating. Unique music and chill atmosphere. Food was SOOO good, but they don't have ranch 😫. Either way... my new favorite spot in LA!!

Had my birthday party here and management made it so easy to reserve tables for my friends. The staff was super accommodating even on a busy night. Love the mocktail menu and the games! Will definitely be back

absolutely adored my experience here, I was visiting from Chicago at a friends place who lived in the neighborhood and ate here nearly every single day, even though there are so many other options! The lavender cocktail is amazing! Highly recommend the watermelon salad and the grilled cheese and tomato soup – both were phenomenal! And the service is top-notch, the ambience both inside with the relaxing music and gorgeous wood interiors, and the outdoor patio with its shaded tables and foliage both make for excellent dining experiences.

My eldest has their bday night there this weekend. The staff was so gracious allowing me to place simple decorations.. the aesthetic is very relaxing. The food was delicious 😋 I will visit more since I live in walking distance..

Cute little spot in echo park. Funky vibe, lots of lgbtq family. Love the seating: seats, chaises, etc. bathrooms are clean, food is okay 👍 the beet hummus was good. Going to try something else next time I’m here. The employees are amiable and attentive. It’s street parking. Best to park a ways away and walk or just Uber. The disco ball and lighting are the best. Very chill ambiance.

Awesome drinks, tasty side dishes, and a great happy hour! This bar is a bit out of the way from downtown but so worth the visit. Great service, and it has an amazing patio where one can sit outside. Overall, come here for great drinks and tasty food!

The Semi-Topic is a great place to get some drinks. The drinks were crafted well. I wanted to try the food but the kitchen was closed. So, maybe next time. This bar has both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is great and the music playlist was on point!

Went on a weekday evening. The bartender was jovial and attentive. The music isn't loud and the playlist is indie. It's great for catching up with friends and having a conversation and lounging in general.

Semi-tropic is the BEST. The vibe, the bartenders - just everything. We had asked management if we could take some couple photos there because it is one of our fav date night spots and they gladly obliged. Mason was the bartender on site and he is the sweetest! If you need a great bar for a party or a date night you cannot go wrong with Semi Tropic. Drinks and food always great. The best local hang!

We've always loved coming to Semi-Tropic, so we hosted our birthday party here this past Saturday. Eren was very responsive to us and helped us reserve two seating areas and some additional tables. Instead of us having to wait at the bar, servers came to take our orders from the seating area, and were all really friendly and attentive. The vibe is great and we loved the drinks!

Wonderful chill spot. They make folks close their laptops for dinner hours. Yahooo! Great selection of wine and beer. Wings rule. The bread on the shrimp po boy taste a bit cardboardy

Very relaxed bar with good atmosphere. Service is good and menu has interesting selection, plus typical cocktails. Didn’t try the food, except the Fries, which had a bit too much seasoning.

one of the best bar experiences you could ever ask for. i hosted a party of about 35 people and eren helped me arrange that seamlessly. they offered comfortable lounge seating with no minimum charge which was amazing. they even allowed me to bring my own DJ on a weekday. we were catered to in every way. our server did an excellent job at attending to us and clearing old cups and plates out of the way. 10/10 would come here again. my colleagues were very impressed and would love to host here.

Managed to come in before happy hour! Great deals! It was crowded but we managed to find a four seater. Food wasn’t too memorable but I liked the intimate setting.

This place is cute to come get a drink and hang. I️ came in here after work to finish some work on my lap top and grab a beer. There were about 7-8 people in the whole place. I️ put my stuff at a high top and went up to the bar to grab a drink. The bartender said they’d send a server over.. okay cool. I️ went to turn around then she said and I️ noticed you have a laptop, we don’t allow laptops after 6pm. Weird. I’d understand if it were a room full of people or a busy night. But there was hardly anyone there. I️ ended up leaving. Just a weird interaction.
