Concierge.com's insider take:

The good news? There's finally reason to bust out that trucker hat you thought was so cool five years ago. The bad news? There's a good chance it will get sprayed by a stuffed, wall-mounted skunk. Stinkers, a kitschy '70s theme bar modeled after a glammed-up truck stop, is an ode to all things Smokey and the Bandit—from the mustachioed Burt Reynolds headshot to the 5,000 vintage beer cans lining the walls. There's also a reel-to-reel-equipped DJ booth; steam-spewing animatronic skunks (a tongue-in-cheek reference to the location in Silver Lake, where the animals are a bit of a nuisance); and bartenders who shout last call from a CB radio attached to a loudspeaker. Artsy hipsters in rectangular rimmed eyeglasses and thrift store finds congregate here for a fun old ironic time complete with loud classic rock, cocktails with names like Diesel and Large Marge, and plenty of Olympia and PBR all around. Brush up on your Dukes of Hazzard trivia for small talk.

Open daily 5 pm to 2 am.
