The HMS Bounty
Housed in the lobby of the historic Gaylord Hotel, HMS Bounty Food & Grog is a nautically themed, British-style watering hole on Wilshire. Since its inception in 1948, the space has been home to various concepts like The Gay Room, The Secret Harbor and The Golden Anchor. The current dive was born in 1962, and has been drawing crowds to its bustling bar and restaurant since. You're here for the cold beer, the popular Monte Christo (among other British staples), and yes, you recognize it from that one scene in <em>Mad Men</em>.

This nautically-themed Koreatown dive has been an institution for decades. The place doubles as a steakhouse—because why wouldn’t it?—and in our book, nothing goes better with impossibly cheap, impossibly strong, well drinks than a nice big steak. Pair all that with the CD-based jukebox, settle into a booth, and have a fantastic night out.
