The Majestic Crocker Club

The Crocker Club, 453 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA
I‘ve walked through this neighborhood before; however, I’ve never seen the majestic entrance of this bar until that night. As I walked downstairs to get a glimpse of it, I saw the main bar and it immediately brought a smile to my face due the touch of elegance that it had. I couldn’t help myself but to explore every corner of the venue. This bar was filled with class that used to be a bank in the early days. Today it has changed to a totally different experience: to a glamorous parlor. The owners, Vincent Terzian and Thomas Turner, obsessed and thought over every detail in the bar to achieve the grandeur of the 1930’s era. The original bank circular vault door remained intact for pure decorative purposes which provide a powerful feeling of security. There were semi private wooden booths for intimate meetings. Every table was lit by candle light which gives a romantic vibe to the ambiance. There is a Ghost Bar which is semi hidden and located in the far back room. It is named after haunted spirits that occupied the space. Jaime, the good looking bartender, said that Crocker Bar happy hours are on Wednesdays to Fridays from 5:30pm till 7:30pm, and that means $5.00 for all well drinks. Jaime was friendly and frankly his smile was enough to give me a buzz. That night, Art Walk was taking place in the area, therefore I left almost immediately. Nevertheless; I would like to come back for another spooky time in this grand bar.
