Los Angeles Best Kept Secret

The Association

ONE: The atmosphere. Smart-looking leather, old Vegas-inspired chandeliers, mirrored walls lit by candlelight all nestled within the Historic District’s hottest addition. The Association gives downtown dwellers a ‘locale’ to finally call home.
TWO: The discretion. The only sign that may indicate its existence on this evolutionary stretch of concrete near Sixth and Main is an austere black door, an exact replica of the 10 Downing door, the official residence of the British Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street in London, complete with a brass lion head door knocker.
THREE: The vibe. Opposite, expect a warm, inviting and chill interior while bartenders hand-squeeze fresh fruit juices custom to each cocktail.
FOUR: The proprietor. Ashley Joyce, the London-born 44-year-old behind the Room in Hollywood & Santa Monica and now the Association, says, “The goal of the Association is to become part of the downtown community by being inclusive and not exclusive. A proper bar that serves a quality cocktail in an intimate, comfortable environment.”
