Part of the Gay Los Angeles Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Los Angeles, California
Low-key WeHo neighborhood bar in the old GymBar space, built for talking.
Schmitty's leans into the anti-pretension end of West Hollywood. Owner Jay Krymis — a working actor who previously ran the legendarily grimy Fubar — opened it in late 2022 in the former GymBar space on Santa Monica Blvd, naming it after Karen Walker's favorite bartender on Will & Grace. The room is deliberately the opposite of the polished clubs down the block: mid-century and dim, with a sticker-covered piano as its centerpiece, Fubar and queer-history memorabilia on the walls, and an expansive heated patio that anchors the casual hangs. The patio crowd is the draw — regulars and neighborhood drinkers more than a dressed-up scene. Karaoke nights and weekend DJs spinning '80s and millennial-era throwbacks fill out the week, and the happy hour runs long and cheap across most of it. It's the WeHo bar to pick when you want conversation and a drink, not bottle service and a velvet rope.
