Golden Gopher

On our lists of the best activities and arcades & games in Los Angeles.

The bottle shop built into one wall of Golden Gopher sells liquor to go under one of the few Type 21 licenses left in Los Angeles, alongside T-shirts, cigars, and bottle openers the shop manager will laser-engrave on request. Small lamps shaped like the bar's gopher mascot sit over a pool table and distressed seating from a mid-2000s restoration by owner Cedd Moses. A neon sign out front has hung since at least the 1950s, and the bar has appeared on screen in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and in Taylor Swift's 'Delicate' video.
