Founded by artists and funded by dealers, the Mandrake is one among many galleries on La Cienega. The Mandrake however is unique in that it is a full bar with cocktails, a happy hour (5-7PM) that provides pbr and a shot of whisky for $5 or if you prefer tecate and a shot of tequila for $5 while all house cocktails are two dollars off.
Serving as neighborhood bar, the Mandrake offers a full calendar of events. In fact, there's something going on at the Mandrake on an almost daily basis. Everything from film-screenings to magazine launch parties to lectures to poetry readings to Melvin's record covers show to informal discussions on subjects that include architecture and urbanism to Fox and His Friends which is gay night at the Mandrake (the Mandrake was at one time a gay bar called the Manhandler thus the venues current name) can be counted among the Mandrake's to do list.
The Mandrake also has an outdoor patio where one can smoke and drink at the same time!!!
