Cole's Pacific Electric Buffet
I've been drinking here since before it was fashionable again. The bar is original. The back booth lighting is original. The French dip claim is real.
Opened 1908. Claims to be the oldest bar in Los Angeles, and has the provenance to back it up. The room has barely changed since the Red Car era.
