Where Short Hipsters Drink in L.A.

Silverlake’s Cha Cha Lounge is probably the best joint within the county lines to get PBR on tap. But the ratty faux-bamboo awning that surrounds the bar will hit you right in the face every time you go to order if you’re over 5’10". You might be able to avoid it if you’re not drunk, but that’s no fun.

Not just for short people, the Frolic Room is really only ideal for people that are small in general. The name becomes more than ironic when you realize that even the pixiest of hipsterchicks would be hard pressed to frolic in this glorified hallway…and you know how hipsters love irony!

Lit and decorated like your 4th grade neighbor’s rec room, The Roost is hip and kitsch but the low ceilings can get claustrophic for those of us that don’t fit into underoos anymore.

I didn’t just put this on the list to be clever (but it’s pretty clever, isn’t it?) Though there is nothing inherently short-centric about this place other than the name, the last time I was here I was a head taller than almost everyone…and I wasn’t even wearing heels. Go figure.

A world away from the Hollywood and Highland consumption – I mean shopping – complex that looms across the street, The Powerhouse has maintained a certain grungy charm despite Hollywood’s renaissance. With a skeez factor that significantly outweighs the drink prices, it’s not a great pick up joint. But it’s awesome if you want to be the hottest person in the room.

Oh, the last time I was here I got hit on by a midget. That’s why it’s on the list. (Hey, Chuckie!)
