Score context

Genever closed in January 2023. Historic Filipinotown's women-owned gin bar — Banana Hammock, rotating gimlets, Art Deco sparkle — was the room regulars called home. People still ask where to go instead. Drink the memory; the lease ended the night.

Guest score details

Themes in this historical read

What guests like

  • Filipina-owned Historic Filipinotown gin bar: Banana Hammock tiki, seasonal gimlets, a room people called home.
  • Art Deco sparkle and a happy-hour G&T that rotated with whatever botanicals they had.
  • Regulars still talk about it in present-tense grief years after the lights went out.

What to know

  • Permanently closed January 2023 after the lease fight — you cannot go.
  • The void is the review now; LA still hasn't replaced that specific room.
  • Crowdfunded origin story ended in a landlord story, which still stings in the retell.
