There's an analogy I like to use for places like Frankie's Tiki Room:  it's like the Danny Trejo of dive bars - it's good at what it does, and what it does ain't pretty.\n\nHoly shit are the drinks in this place strong.  I don't know how accurate this rating is, but I swear no cocktail here is under 150 proof.  They are lethal concoctions of liquors that if they weren't so goddamn good, you'd think you're better off putting it in your gas tank.  Seriously, be warned, the drinks here are like delicious-but-deadly libation ninjas that sneak up on you and next thing you know, you're dry-humping a wall and snapchatting your shady ex.  It's the perfect place to bring that one guy you know that brags about his alcohol tolerance, because he'll act a fool after a couple of drinks, and you'll get to call him \"a pussy\".\n\nIf you're looking for a more laid-back experience, they have a full bar with beer, wine and other things that don't kill quite as many brain cells.  The atmosphere is dark and smokey like any good dive bar, and the tikki bar decor and vibe is as authentic as it gets.  They do not serve food, but you can bring in your own, which is probably great news for the Carl's Jr. next door.\n\nDrinks are pricey, but you won't need many!\n\nFrankie's is seriously a gem.  It's grimey and covered in shit you don't want to know about, but a gem nonetheless.  It's a genuine, bona-fide, honest-to-goodness local dive bar experience in a city that is sadly bereft of such a thing.  Best enjoyed with a group and most importantly, A DESIGNATED DRIVER.  It's easy to get in trouble here, but you'll be glad you did!
