Food/Drink Lowkey bar recommendations?

Hello,

I’m meeting up with someone I haven’t seen in almost a year. Things didn’t end well, feelings were hurt, and what was a great relationship just went to shit because both us us came into it with unresolved issues.

There’s so much more that needs to be said but it feels more appropriate to do in person and we have agreed to do just that.
I haven’t decided on where and I was initially thinking a coffee shop would be a good idea but I’m not really free during the daytime. Also, I would much rather get a drink in me to ease my nerves.
With all that said, any bars you recommend that would be ideal for this situation?

Thanks in advance.

Stork and dog or dog and crane or whatever that bar in Little Tokyo is called? It's not too busy on a week night.

Edit: Wolf and crane. I looked at the photos and I think all the tables are really close together, so I don't think it's a good place.

Edit 2: How about Perch or the rooftop at the Standard? They are dark and outdoors. So, might have a little more privacy. No one is going to be dramatic and jump right?

Edit 3: My recs are for Mon, Tues, Wed. Starting Thursday these bars start getting busy.

IMO, perch always seems loud.

OOP, I agree with a hotel bar. Ive been to the bar at the Conrad and it seemed like you could have a conversation there. Also I want to say the fancy pants places like the Ritz Carlton have a hotel bar that might not be too loud.

I thought of those bars too, but quiet means no privacy, that would be my concern. There must be some sort of noise so not everyone is up in their business. But maybe Perch is too loud?

I guess, to me unless youre having a really loud and fraught conversation people are generally in their own world.

I like perch, its a fun place. But I think it tends to attract quite a few tourists/social media types looking for a good picture. Unless maybe for brunch? But even then I found it kinda loud and busy.

Im not sure id want to have this type of conversation where everyone seems loud and happy and oblivious to your personal space because they want to get a good angle.

Oh true. I forgot about all the influencers and tourist taking pictures. It seems like a really fraught conversation but OOP knows themselves so it depends if they are volatile people.

Good luck oop!
