Far Bar

Tucked away in the heart of Little Tokyo, Far Bar is the kind of unpretentious neighborhood spot that feels like it’s been there forever. With its divey atmosphere and no-frills approach, this bar has carved out a reputation as both a reliable hangout and an unexpected craft beer destination. It’s the sort of place where you can settle in, catch a game on the TV, and let the hours slip by without realizing it.

The menu leans into Asian fusion territory with impressive results. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Far Bar burger, a juicy creation slathered in umami-rich miso mayo that keeps regulars coming back again and again. Pair it with an order of wasabi fries—the perfect balance of crispy potato and horseradish heat—and you’ve got yourself a meal that punches well above its weight class for bar food.

What really sets Far Bar apart is its surprisingly deep craft beer selection. While the unassuming exterior might not scream “beer destination,” the taps tell a different story. Whether you’re a hophead or prefer something malty, there’s likely something on the menu that’ll catch your attention. The laid-back vibe makes it easy to sample your way through the offerings without any pretense.

If you’re looking for a spot to watch the game with friends, grab some genuinely good bar food, and explore some interesting brews, Far Bar delivers on all fronts. It’s not trying to be anything other than what it is—a neighborhood bar done right.
