    The remodel gives this place the sophisticated air of a southern speakeasy, but the Mr. Pineapple Wheat Ale for $6 is still next level. You're on your own for parking.

    Look in the dictionary under "DIVE" and a picture of the Powerhouse might be in there. PBR on tap. Oh, and don't touch anything. Great "first date" to see if date is a "trooper." -Alex Reznik, Top Che

    Old fashioned is great. If you get hungry, you can bring food in from next door!

    I love the powerhouse. Amazing beer selection. The Mr. Pineapple Wheat Ale is one of my all time favorites. Very chill spot. Great vibe.

    It's the kind of dive that almost makes you feel like using foursquare might make you too classy to be in it. Perfect to break up the tourist monotony that is Hollywood and Highland

    Power House is the best place for a cheap drink before or after seeing Jimmy Kimmel Live! across the street. Read more

    Deacon and Jim are super cool. Photohunt and 3 dollar pbr. Everthing I go I meet someone rad. One of the coolest bars in Hollywood if you aren't that into the scene.

    Far from the best part about this dive, but still notable, is it's proximity to the "glamorous" Hollywood and Highland mecca - the anti-Dive.

    Total dive. Pbr on tap. Play darts. Scribble your name on the bathroom wall. It's low key if you want a break from pretentiousness.

    A beer called Mr. Pineapple for $6 is pretty good!

    6401 on the Jukebox gets the whole bar singing along, but don't play it before midnight ;)
