Laszlo is one of my new favorite bars in the Mission. The ambiance is cool....quite different from a majority of other bars in the neighborhood. The theme is Russian Constructivism, but they don't overdo it...there are a few amazing original posters and prints, dark walls and a heavy steel door that evoke the proverbial Iron Curtain...overall the place is classy without being pretentious.

Staff is friendly...hipster, but without the attitude which is a refreshing change for the Mission. They have Trumer Pils bottles for $2 at happy hour. You really can't beat that unless you settle for PBR somewhere dirty :)

They also have a DJ in there after 9pm. Mix is been eclectic and cool, not so loud that you can't hear your friends, but enough to fill silences if you're on an awkward date.

Laszlo doesn't really get crowded until late, but that seems to be a bit of a trend in the Mission these days. They also have a couple outdoor tables if you're looking for a different vibe. Check it out as a GREAT substitute for the nearby Medjool which is overrated, overpriced, and full of bridge-and-tunnel folks on weekends anyhow.

I like it here. It isn't too crowded for happy hour and you can't beat $2 trumers! The food is good but pricey like someone noted earlier. The risotto is great though! Seems the crowd here is always decent and the music too.

The bartenders are very polite, the drinks tasty (if you like gentle and fruity), fragrant, and digestible. The food here is delicious but pricey, as it comes from Foreign Cinema, a nice restaurant in the same building. There’s a tiny upstairs area that can serve as a mini art gallery.

Pretty cool atmosphere. They have an upper balcony that looks down on the bar and several tables on the sides. Around 9pm a A DJ starts spinning some tracks every time I've been there.

This is not a typical Mission Bar, it has a nice interior design and it smells good (most bars in the Mission smell baaaaddd, but listen, I am not saying that that is a bad thing)

Its location makes it convenient to go a lot more often that what I do.

The music is good and the crowd is fun.

Some times it's packed and there is no way to fit it. You can ask Magellan and Mr. Shaggyb about that.

I really like the interior of this bar. It's a loft like space with cool lighting, and lots of little booths around the edges. There are a few tables outside on Mission street as well - though I don't know how appealing it is to sit outside on 21st and Mission.

The crowd gets there late. If you go early, there's not much happening.
