Prank Bar is running a costume and cosplay contest on Oct. 30 and 31 with a $500 gift card as the prize. Entrants snap a photo at the bar's step-and-repeat, and voting runs through Day of the Dead on Nov. 1.
A mellow little sidewalk café-bar where downtown actually exhales. Tables spill onto Hope Street, laptops share space with low-key date energy, and the vibe leans more espresso martini than EDM drop. It’s bright by day, softly lit by night, with cocktails, coffee, and easy plates that make it just as viable for a casual meeting as a slow-start evening. Unfussy, neighborhood-y, and refreshingly calm for DTLA.
