    It's a small bar where you definitely want to have a seat other wise you'll be standing in a narrow walk way. This place is on the sunset strip. The bartender and servers were super attentive the latest time I went which can be a pro and con. A good casual place to hang with friends or to go for date night as the booths are small, just don't expect any privacy

    This is seriously a good bar. Marilyn Monroe had a drink here the vibes are very nice. The old fashioned looked my friend got looked very decent. I took a break from drinking however I can't wait to come back here when I start again. It's said Marilyn Monroe was a regular here also

    Old Hollywood meets well curated drinks with nostalgic classic music and a scene that makes you feel extra glamourous. Stopped by during the week, shortly after they opened, with plenty of bar seating and booth seating area. Place feels cozy, with so many details. From the wood bar paneling to the vintage sound system, it felt so aesthetically pleasant! The bartender quickly served us some water before getting our drink order. The menu itself is so creative, detailed, inspired by the Sunset Strip, with drinks named after famous music venues. This isn't your basic bar. This place curates its drinks with details and precision. Worth a stop if you are ever in the area. Fun Fact: TimeOut LA released an article, sharing Bar Next Door was on their list for Top 100 Best bars in North America. This is competing with big places like New York, Miami, Las Vegas. So to have a bar ranked worthy in your neighborhood, it's worth a visit. If you are a bar whore, you need to check it out.

    Coming to the bar on Thursday and bumping into a super cool music event. This spot is ranked no. 100 for North America best bar!

    I didn't just feel classy in this bar...I felt like I belonged to a well-dressed mob family secretly run by the film industry. Which might not be too far off as the building once housed Marilyn Monroe's talent agent. But I digress...this old Hollywood feel bar had it all. The smell of leather booths, secrets and someone who surely danced with Marilyn Monroe and Sinatra back in the day. The drinks were so detailed, with a backstory of each on the menu, which also by the way, was very classy. Service was great, although very minimal conversation. Maybe they are going with the mob theme and know where the bodies are buried, or maybe it's a quite bartender, nonetheless, a worthy stop for a drink.

    A calmer bar located in the middle of Hollywood bar/club chaos. Perfect place to grab drinks with friends. The Chateau Marmont, was a perfect twist of a Cosmopolitan. And this is coming from someone who isn't a big fan of them. The service was incredibly friendly. There is bar seating, booths I think you have to reserve in advance, and some extra seating in the back. Parking is tricky but there is paid parking ($20) near the Roxy which is a short walk.

    I loooove this bar! I walked over after a show at the Roxy a few months ago and I can't wait to go back. I love the old Hollywood vibe and the newspaper menu. My friend ordered a Manhattan and she loved it, I only had a glass of wine. Definitely will visit again.

    This place is so good! The drinks are delicious, I really recommend the Chateau Marmont! Prince Pizza being next door is amazing to eat some delicious pizza with your drinks! Service is great always filling up our waters and being so helpful. The only thing I'd say negatively is the parking situation is a little hard but there is a public parking that charges $20 two blocks down!

    Such a cute little bar in the heart of West Hollywood! Found this place on yelp actually and was so surprised the day I showed up. They are very very, very busy and the space is very tight so if you're not going in tight spaces, I would skip. Their drinks are very unique and not watered down to say the least. Overall, a great spot for date night!

    I knew my boyfriend would love this bar. He's really hard to surprise so I was ecstatic when I saw the grin on his face when we walked in. You immediately feel 'old Hollywood' as you walk through the door. Intimate booths, dim lighting, and groovy old school music. The extensive drink menu is printed on newspapers, another cute addition. They have signature cocktails, classic cocktails, beer, wine (even skin contact!), and seltzers. If you're hungry, they even offer a slice of prince street pies! The server was attentive and the vibes were great. I would definitely come back.

    St Paddy's Day pistachio liqueur mixed with vodka
    Ryann

    Great service. Great retro vibe. It was our first time and we absolutely loved it. The drinks were amazing and their homemade pistachio cream liquor that they have for Saint Paddy's day is incredible. The bartenders even made me my own drink with it mixed with vodka.

    A perfect Manhattan
    Beau H.

    BarNextDoor is a beautiful place with upbeat art deco decor and energy to match. The bartender is Marshall and he nails a 1930s transatlantic accent with effortless charm. He also makes a great manhattan. The legend Hendo also reins over this spot and is always truly wonderful to see again in our city of angels. If you're hungry this place is also magically a pizza place all one has to do is ask. The menu is also very cool and I wish I had actually taken one, and perhaps next time, I just might (kidding kidding ... kinda :)

    I'm actually obsessed with this bar. Every time I walk through the door, I just have the absolute best night. The drinks are delicious, the service is fantastic, the ambiance is top notch. I love that the menu is printed on what looks like an old-time newspaper and even includes the history of the building. Whether you get one of the classic cocktails like an espresso martini or try one of their signature cocktails, you won't be disappointed. I especially like the Beverly Hills Hotel, Chateau Marmont and The Standard -- the latter of which is their take on an aperol spritz, and changes based on which house-made soda they use. Okay, now I need to go again!

    The best dining experience in Beverly Hills I've ever had!…read more From the moody decor to the food to the service, everything was so well curated and refined. The caviar omakase is the must order thing here. Everything is very small bites, but if you are mostly there for drinks then à la carte is a good option. The omakase was fantastic - nice sized portions of caviar, paired with thoughtful items like a mini lobster roll, a salmon burger, and even ice cream. The drinks are also delightful - you can taste the notes of every ingredient and nothing was too overpowering or unbalanced. But the service is by far the main reason we'll be back. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, on top of being knowledgeable and presenting the menu in a well practiced way. They made this birthday dinner so special and went above and beyond. They do automatically add gratuity but I would've tipped more than that if possible. Incredible spot in Beverly Hills and more private and tucked away than some of the overly packed tourist destinations.

We ended up at the Maybourne Bar in the Maybourne hotel, a solid B+ lobby bar that I'd visit again under similar circumstances. The space was attractive but the vibe was strange, if not uncomfortable. Just weirdly bright lighting and a different crowd from the usual L.A. bar scene (hotel, Beverly Hills). It was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night, and we were able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast and polite. We ordered a Midas Touch and a Big in Japan, both decent cocktails that cost a full $30 apiece. The Midas Touch was a colorful spicy margarita with El Tesoro Maybourne Edition Reposado, Empirical Ayuuk, Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, saffron, lemon, and honey. Big in Japan was a Gold Rush variation with Hibiki Harmony, sudachi honey, lemon, sansho pepper, and yuzu bitters. There are better, more interesting cocktail bars all over L.A., but I'd recommend the Maybourne Bar if you're staying at the hotel or otherwise looking for an upscale bar in downtown Beverly Hills. You can get food, too, though most of it seems to involve caviar.

I hate that I can't remember my server's name because he was phenomenal. I don't drink alcohol, but he recommended a few mocktails that were absolutely delicious. He also guided almost all of our food and dessert choices, and every recommendation was spot on. I originally made a reservation for indoor seating, but since it was such a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside by the pool. It ended up being the perfect choice. There atmosphere was relaxing, the noise level made conversation easy, and the view was beautiful. For food, we ordered the Pappardelle al Ragù, which was delicious. The pasta itself was perfectly cooked with great flavor. I wouldn't have minded a little more protein, but it was still a really enjoyable dish. We also had the Little Gem Caesar with chicken, a classic done exceptionally well. The standout, however, was the Diavola pizza. The combination of spicy soppressata with the honey drizzle was absolutely top tier, and the soft, airy crust brought everything together perfectly. It was easily my favorite dish of the meal. To drink, we had a couple of non alcoholic Cosmojitos, which were refreshing, flavorful, and a great complement to the meal. We closed out the evening with the homemade carrot cake, and wow it was the cake of my dreams. Perfectly moist, incredibly flavorful, and just the right level of sweetness without being overpowering. It was the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience with exceptional service, delicious food, and a beautiful ambiance. I can't wait to come back!

Make your reservation online and don't be late because the clock starts at the time you chose and you will be informed when you get there late that that will be subtracted from your time at the end.

Our bartender was Shane and he was wonderful and really made our experience memorable. Zeke was the other bartender who was great as well. We ordered a Painkiller and a Captain's Inner Circle. Each drink comes in its own unique cup/glass and has such a fun presentation. The painkiller was presented to us with some fire elements and the captain's inner circle was hilarious - they ring a bell and all the workers join in on saying you're a part of the inner circle. Now the taste. Both of the drinks were delicious! We love a painkiller and this one definitely didn't disappoint, it totally hit the spot. I also loved the inner circle drink, it was coconutty and had fruity elements like apricot in it. There are so many drinks on their menu, we wish we could try them all! We'll have to come back next time to try more. They also have food but we didn't have time to try any dishes this time.

We came to Matū for the Dinner for Two, and everything we were served was impeccable. The seasoning was spot on, the salt level was perfect, and every cut of meat was cooked beautifully. I'm a big fan of my steak on the rarer side, and Matū absolutely delivered. The braised beef cheek was probably the highlight of the night for me. It was unbelievably tender, rich, and one of the most memorable bites of the meal. After finishing the Dinner for Two, which really showcased the quality of the meat, we decided to split a cheesesteak since "that's what they're known for." When it arrived, it looked incredible. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended for me. The meat tasted oddly oily. I'm not sure if it was the cut, the preparation, or even the cheese, but it came across as heavy and greasy compared to the beautifully simple, clean flavors of the steak dinner. It was also underseasoned, and I found myself tasting the sesame seeds on the bread more than the filling itself. The chips were fresh and crunchy at first, but they lost their texture surprisingly quickly, so eat those immediately. Overall, I absolutely loved the steaks, sides, and cocktails, and I'll happily be back for those. But as for the cheesesteak? Once was more than enough.

    Matu is a dream for meat lovers, with a menu centred entirely around Australian wagyu. Nothing…read moreshowcases that commitment better than the Matu dinner ($87 per person; minimum 2 persons), a multi-course meal that highlights different cuts of the cow in every single dish. Things begin with a 24-hour bone broth shooter, looking like a glass of gravy but tasting like concentrated umami. Rich, warm, and deeply comforting, it's remarkable how delicious it is despite containing only broth. The steak tartare follows with freshly chopped beef, egg yolk, and what the menu describes as a "Japanese accent," possibly togarashi. Whatever the seasoning blend is, it works beautifully. The tartare is incredibly flavourful despite its minimalist presentation. Thin, lightly toasted crostini accompany it without overpowering the beef, though I did ask for extra slices just to finish every bite. The eight-hour braised beef cheek was one of my favourite courses. So tender and moist that you could practically eat it with a spoon, the richness is balanced by a silky celeriac purée that ties everything together beautifully. It's the kind of dish that immediately makes you want another serving. Even their '47' salad leans heavily into the restaurant's beef-first philosophy, featuring more steak than greens. The 3-ounce centre-cut filet was impressively tender for such a lean cut, and although it arrived rarer than I'd typically order, it worked perfectly. At Matu, diners aren't asked how they'd like their steak cooked. The kitchen prepares it to the chef's specifications, trusting the quality of the beef and their technique. As for the romaine leaves underneath, they're coated in a signature dressing that tastes remarkably similar to Caesar, despite being made without dairy or eggs, then finished with a generous showering of Parmigiano. After all that beef, you'd think sharing a 12-ounce ribeye would feel excessive. Somehow, it didn't. The steak is prepared simply, allowing the quality of the wagyu to speak for itself, with crispy grilled broccolini providing a garlicky contrast alongside it. A small dish of salt is presented at the beginning of the meal, though Matu intentionally keeps the seasoning restrained. Personally, I appreciated the lighter touch and never felt the need to add more. Dessert arrives in the form of Scott's flourless chocolate cake ($12), dense and rich without being overly sweet beyond a dusting of powdered sugar. After an entire menu devoted to beef, I almost found myself jokingly wondering whether wagyu somehow made its way into dessert too.
