    The ambience of this restaurant is so unique and the cultures flavors shine thru each dish I tried! The coconut margarita ($20) was so scrumptious creamy without any overwhelming syrup taste - a natural delight. The entrees were akin to tapas and I loved trying bites! Highly recommend the fluffy bread and the creamy cheesy crab bites!! The check came in a small tortilla press and you were reminded that detail mattered at every stage of the meal - from the moment you walk into the cozy second floor lounge, where you wait to be seated, to the end of your meal! Highly recommend parking in the lot two blocks down, next to the church - flat rate $9!

    My friends and I had all heard great things about Mírate, but I'll admit I had an extra reason for wanting to check it out. I recognized it from Season 1 of Nobody Wants This, and apparently seeing a restaurant on TV is all the encouragement I need to add another dinner reservation to the calendar. Parking in Los Feliz gave us a little pre-dinner challenge. A friend and I eventually went with valet, while another friend circled a few times before finding street parking. Consider this my future self taking notes: next time, Uber. Walking inside was probably my favorite first impression. Mírate unfolds across multiple levels with warm lighting, greenery, tucked-away lounge areas, and that huge tree in the middle of the courtyard. We were seated upstairs near the top of the stairs by the restroom, which gave us a view down into the main space. Admittedly, I spent a little time admiring the tables around the tree and understanding exactly why that area is such a draw. Something to aim for on a future visit. We ordered several dishes to share. Some of the starters were a little smaller than I expected, but there was plenty of flavor packed into them. The ribeye taco was one of my favorites, with Chihuahua cheese, salsa verde, and a little heat from the Yahualica chile. The octopus taco was right up there with it, paired with Chihuahua cheese, frijoles puercos, and pineapple pico that brought in a nice sweet-savory contrast. Both disappeared quickly, which is generally a good sign at our table. The cocktails were another highlight. Everyone ordered something different and there wasn't a disappointed person in the group. Our server checked in throughout the evening without hovering, which gave us plenty of time to eat, talk, and inevitably compare everyone's drink choices. By the end of dinner, I had already figured out my strategy for round two: Uber there, explore a little more of the cocktail menu, and see if we can snag one of those coveted tables near the tree. Even if we don't, I'd happily come back.

    Finally made it to Mirate and honestly, I really enjoyed it! The vibe is so cute and lively, the food was delicious, and everything we ordered had so much flavor. The drinks were also really good, and the service was great -- everyone was friendly and attentive. Such a fun spot for a date night or dinner with friends. I'd definitely come back!

    The first time I visited this place, I was enjoying their elite tier cocktails. On this visit, I was able to a get a few bites to compliment some of the delicious drinks I was getting. Just like my previous visit, the service and hospitality here is just spectacular. Our group got here at prime dinner time so the place was packed and the vibe was lively. While getting some of their delicious cocktails, I got a few of their tacos off their light bites menu. I can't think of many things better than sipping fantastic cocktails while eating elevated tacos. For my next visit, I'll definitely have to have a proper whole meal here lol.

    The interior of Mirate is gorgeous with lots of interesting artifacts and pieces. While you wait for your table, can have access to a few lounges and the bar. The restaurant layout is indoor/outdoor can get pretty dark when dining at night. Parking: we found street parking but valet is available. Despite the nice ambience, the food was very mid considering the price. I was not aware that there was a rotating menu and was looking forwards to trying the carne asada y papas but it wasn't on the menu. I opted for carne à la parilla and it was as 12oz new york strip cooked and seasoned nicely. It was good but nothing special. The Aguchilies de cameron and branzino was again good but overpriced. The horchata came in a small 8oz cup and was also nothing special. Overall, the nice ambience was the highlight of the restaurant.

    Mirate has a really beautiful atmosphere, with a great mix of modern and traditional Mexican design. The waiting area was especially cool, and the outdoor seating was immaculate. The booths had huge pillows that made them surprisingly comfortable and inviting. They also have a huge selection of alcohol, including plenty of mezcal options. Parking is available through street parking, valet, or a nearby lot for $9. Salsa Molcajete -- $7 The portion was smaller than I expected, but the spice level was just right. The salsa had a very smooth consistency and came with a good amount of tortillas. The tortillas were thin and crispy, which I really enjoyed. Aguachile de Camarón -- $18 A good variety of ingredients came with the aguachile, including red onion, cucumber, tomato, and radish. Each added a different flavor and texture, which made the dish more interesting. It leaned a little sweet for my taste, but the shrimp itself was cooked perfectly with a great texture. Daisy's Branzino -- $28 The branzino was a little smaller than expected, but this ended up being my favorite dish. The greens on the side added a nice freshness, while the crispy skin gave the fish a great texture. The guacamole was also a really good addition and elevated the dish. It was slightly on the salty side, but overall, the flavors worked really well together. Carne a la Parrilla -- $58 We ordered the steak medium and it came out cooked to perfection. The meat was tender with a good amount of char flavor, and the accompanying sauce paired really well with it. The flaky salt on top was a particularly nice touch and added just the right amount of seasoning. Virgin Horchata Pretty standard horchata and nothing particularly unique. It had a heavier cinnamon flavor, which was nice if you enjoy cinnamon-forward horchata. Virgin Jamaica & Mango This was much more refreshing. It tasted very fresh, almost like the flavors came directly from the fruit and plants themselves. Definitely my favorite of the two non-alcoholic drinks. Overall, Mirate is definitely worth checking out for the atmosphere and presentation. The outdoor seating is beautiful and comfortable, and while some of the portions were smaller than expected, the quality and flavors of the food were generally very good. The Daisy's Branzino and Carne a la Parrilla were my standouts.

    Instructions: 1. Somehow find parking. I guess. 2. Enter the restaurant. From the back or from the front - who knows! 3. Marvel at the massive, architectural wonder of the restaurant. 4. Sit down, look at the small but fancy menu, confused. 5. Just order things. 6. Smile. Notable Mentions: 1. The restaurant really is that massive. It's pretty, I'm pretty sure it has multiple bars, and it's multi-storied. Well-designed. Well-done. I didn't think you could just have something like this in LA. 2. The drinks, oh, the drinks. I know a lot of people come here just for this, but they really are tasty, inventive, unique. And the garnishes might just surprise you! (look carefully at the pictures) 3. The food is also just great. This was for dinner. 10/10 would return.

    The cheesecake and ice cream combo was so divine I can't stop thinking about it.

    I cannot stop obsessing over this place. It's so charming and the food is hands down some of the best I've ever had in my life. The quality is unmatched in so many ways. I love the indoor outdoor intimate vibe. It's so classy and sexy in its own sophisticated way. Servers have always been great and the food always arrives timely. Whenever there aren't reservations, we just sit at the bar. If I could have this everyday I would.

    Mírate is a stunning spot in Los Feliz that everyone needs to experience at least once! The restaurant interior is absolutely beautiful, and the presentation of both the food and drinks is pure art. While it is definitely on the pricier side, the flavors are extremely unique and delicious, making it worth the splurge for a special night out. My only real bummer was discovering they took the vegan ceviche off the menu--that was actually the whole reason I came back! I'm sure they have their reasons, but I was pretty disheartened to see it go. Overall, the menu doesn't have a ton of vegan items, but they do have some room for adjustments if you ask. Despite the menu change, the incredible atmosphere and unique menu still make it a must-try.

    Pleasantly surprised at some of the menu items I hadn't tried. It was my first time for dinner last weekend and we were a private party celebrating a birthday. All dishes were shareable and there were certainly some remarkable ones. Starting with my most favorite the ceviche bites (I can't tell you exactly what it's called on the menu, but it was one bite that left you enticed for more!) if you like fish, certainly a must. My second favorite, the roasted rainbow carrots (the salsa macha was palatable all by itself!!). Third favorite, grilled chicken (again, not sure the name on the menu but, it was so juicy and perfect with the housemade tortillas). Other menu goodies, the steak (ribeye bites) tortillas with salsa/guacamole, carnitas (looked good), cactus appetizer, and cheese (and cactus?) quesadilla. Unfortunately, I think the menu was somewhat curated for the private party but I CERTAINLY think it's worth exploring. A lively atmosphere to add to it all!

    One of the prettiest and most visually stunning venues for dining or cocktails in Los Angeles. I saw this spot on Nobody Wants This and knew I had to try it. Honestly, the food is stellar. Sometimes a movie location might just be all hype but Mirate delivers flavor and again is one of the most picturesque locales. The service is phenomenal. The bartenders were super friendly which isn't always the case. Servers were warm and made suggestions which helped!

    Josh M.

    I was saddened to hear that co-founder Joshua Gil, who pioneered the concept of featuring the best of Mexican and Alta Californian ingredients and cuisine in Mirate, had passed away shortly after I visited for the first time. Current head chef Alan Sanz and company carries that vision forward. It was clear why Mirate has been among the top 50 bars in North America for consecutive years with their creative tequila, mezcal, and pulque forward cocktail menu. The food was absolutely delicious. The richness of the paté de pollo was so well balanced with the acidity of the salsa macha and sweetness of the black cherry, prickly pear, and caramelized onions. The depth of flavor in the mole, creaminess of the goat cheese foam, and smokiness of the corn husk ash was a genious take on the Filipino fried plantain classic turon. The use of pork shank instead of the usual pork shoulder will make me never see cochinita pibil the same way ever again. To top it off, entering Mirate feels as if you are entering a secret private courtyard haven in East Hollywood with a lovely atmosphere to dine at any hour of the day. I just looked at their website again and found that their menu has completely changed just 6 months which reflects their intentional choice to use seasonal ingredients and that I may just have to go visit again.

    5 stars for the ambiance, 5 stars for the drinks, 4 stars for the food and service. This is a gorgeous restaurant that makes you feel like you are on vacation. That being said I think the food is good but not amazing. With a group of 4 we were able to try a lot of the menu. The kampachi was my favorite. I'd definitely come back for drinks and it's nice to stay for a while.

And it doesn't leave me wanting more. The presentation looks great for pictures but don't be fool. The food and drink is mediocre. Cheap alcohol was used that burns when swallowed, some drinks I couldn't finish it because it doesn't taste great. It was so hot and stuffy inside (when it's still April and cold outside). The ac should be turned on for air flow since it's such a small hole in the wall bar style sitting with very low ceiling. Hardly any room to walk when there's ppl sitting down on the stool. So the stuffiness and being hot made the experience even more unpleasant. On top of all that, the lady behind the counter was touching everything including the food with her bare hands. Not once did I see her wash it between preparing, servings and cleaning the counter. Plus, napkins wasn't given when needed. When asked, she handed one tiny thin small square napkin per person ‍. Sanitation and cleanliness for the food isn't all there for the $100 mandatory tips per person is ridiculous to me. Tips shouldn't be mandatory anywhere. Plus, even with the time of our reservation. The host, John, emailed us to change our time to a later schedule.. like from 6pm to 9pm. Are you kidding me? If we wanted that time slot then we would have picked it instead of making reservation at 6pm on a Thursday night. Overall, it's just a one time experience that doesn't make me go wow.. I wouldn't want to come back because the food and drinks pairing doesn't go well together. I had better.

Outdoor patio seating is great, and reminds of eating outdoors in a European cafe. Indoor seating is a little cramped if you're at one of the tables, which also sort of mimics European cafes. My one small knock on this restaurant is the service has been inconsistent. Couple times our waiter was great, but a couple times it was hard to flag them down, they didn't space out the dishes very well as the appetizers and entrees all came out the same time, or they forgot to bring water when we asked for it. Small things to complain about overall though.

The adjacent Peacock lounge is equally charming and hosts stand-up comedy shows on Thursday nights and DJs on the weekends. (Conan O'Brien did a surprise gig here a few weeks ago.) The back patio is spacious with an outside bar & picnic style seating. I haven't been here in years. In fact, it was before the remodel. A recent trip to the Atwater Farmer's Market inspired me to come back. It was a Thursday evening and JJ was behind the bar. She was absolutely delightful! We had a great conversation while I sipped on the Happy Hour Spicy Margarita. During my visit, several locals stopped in for a drink and to say "Hi" to JJ. This is a great spot to get together with friends. I'll be back soon. *Metered parking or residential.

Bathroom was disgusting broken and dirty. Not even any water in the water dispenser but then again why would any of the bartenders care about their job.. Im a small business owner. Do better. Will never step foot here again after the few chances i have tried giving this place. Make sure you fit the bars description before you waste your money and time walking thru the door.

    Highly recommend! Classic Glendale establishment!…read more The Famous has been under new ownership, a lovely woman, who has great new ideas for the bar. Lots of themed nights and engaging activities to really bring the community together. I love the creative and fun cocktails. Lots of asian themes but also traditional tiki drinks. Unfortunately parking may be a bit tough (you'll need to walk) - either street parking (paid in front), free street parking in the residential, or parking at the mall

    (Drank 03/28/26 SA @ 6:00pm): How famous was this bar in Glendale?…read more After a late-afternoon film at the nearby AMC The Americana At Brand 18, my friend and I walked around a bit and eventually found ourselves at The Famous Bar. With the seemingly ever-changing landscape along Brand Blvd. in downtown Glendale, this establishment has been around since 2012 (which I believe was the first and only time I came here). Primarily known for its inventive craft cocktails and a killer whiskey selection, it was a nice place to sneak away into before or after your main event... or, maybe this could be the place to spend an entire evening. Would this bar famously make an impression on me to remember to return in the future!? PURCHASE(S) Fremont Brewing Dark Star Double Oatmeal Imperial Stout Beer 8.00% ABV 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): Dark brown color, coffee oatmeal roasty aroma, medium body, chocolate coffee oatmeal roasty toasty flavor, mouthfeel smooth finish, and coffee oatmeal roasty toasty aftertaste. This was a really tasty brew and my favorite of the two! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=ad_C9YTJYF9lVr2FOEQLkg 12" Margherita Pizza ($20.00 HH; Reg. $26.00): A simple pizza with a somewhat thin crust that was kind of cardboardy, the flavor was rather pedestrian with chewy mozzarella although the basil was fragrant and fresh. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=kdkvUttCLmMOAGQ1nyp5tg Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. Danish Red Amber Lager Beer 5.50% ABV 16floz Draft ($5.00 HH; Reg. $8.00): Dark amber red color, malty allspice aroma, low body, malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and malty sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=QQjsTWce5Lstcxj5PowrYw Steak Fries ($7.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): This was an impulse buy as something to pair with my second beer. A decent portion-sized snack, each spud stick was hot, steaming, and thick and came with a side of ketchup. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=GVoy0nzxFUL6rHWaxNdG7Q SERVICE We were warmly greeted by a sole young woman behind the bar who handed us a menu and directed us to sit anywhere. After a few minutes of reviewing the menu, we each placed our order at the bar, our drinks were delivered quickly while the food took mere minutes to arrive at the table. We had to approach the bar each time we ordered something, but any empty glasses and plates were collected at the table. Once we closed out our tabs, we were thanked for coming as we headed out into the night. Everything was chill and easy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance): I parked in the nearby original Glendale Galleria parking structure and simply walked over first to The Americana then to this place. Otherwise, there was limited parking along the main drag of Brand Blvd. and other surrounding side streets, the nearby Glendale Galleria II parking structure, The Americana parking structure that offered validation, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A dark cavernous speakeasy-like place with open space, various tables and couches strewn about, and a large long somewhat decorative bar with an impressive whiskey selection displayed behind it. I appreciated the exposed brick walls which gave it that old-time feel with a few framed pictures hung on them. Minimal natural lighting came through the front doors and windows while minimal electric ceiling lights filled in rest. There was at least one projection TV where we watched the Dodgers game while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=SomLKsk1KVcemeOCHGOZfg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to slip into The Famous Bar for the first time in over a decade, and if I found myself spending time in downtown Glendale again, I'd consider another visit. Sadly, I try to avoid the highly congested area as much as possible. I loved the fact that they had a daily happy hour (4pm-7pm) and late-night SU-TH happy hours (10:30pm-close), so there was always a deal to be found. The drinks were the main reason you came, while the food was just an add-on. The prices were elevated, but you had a good menu selection of libations (nice local craft beer list) to choose from. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $42.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

I ended up with an apricot margarita that was so delicious. For dinner we had calamari and a burger. Every bite was better than the last.

As soon as we walked in, the bartender, Dayne, completely ignored us and we had to ask how the ordering worked. It wasn't until we went outside and one of the waitresses explained the difference between the two business that she helped us get situated back at the bar to order food. The bartender never even looked up at us while we ordered. On top of that, we then asked him a seemingly normal question about the fries in which he plainly replied, "I've never had them". By the time we ordered and got seated it was around 8pm. But by 9pm he started cleaning around us and stacking chairs even though the hours say closing is at 10pm. Dayne makes an announcement for last call at 9:24pm then abruptly kicks us out a little before 9:40pm saying on slow nights they reserve the right to close early. Mind you, we would have NEVER come if we knew this and would have gladly gone to one of other actual friendly, warm, and hospitable businesses on this block. It was a horrible experience that left us visibly uncomfortable and disappointed. I will never come back and would never recommend this place to anyone. 0/10

The service was also first class. Our bartender, Jo, was not only attentive but a great conversationalist who gave us great recommendations on which drinks to choose. Needless to say we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed ourselves after a difficult loss.

    5 stars for the vibe and ambiance, 4 stars for the drinks, and 3 1/2 stars for the food…read more You ring a bell on the outside of this speakeasy attached to Highland Park Bowl and wait for someone in a Hawaiian shirt to come get you. You enter and are immediately transported into a tiki-like hut that's small and intimate. They have a wide selection of drinks, all served in a unique and fun glass. Many of the drinks have a "flame" element to them with makes it kitschy, though the prices for cocktails were on the higher side. Favorite drink of the night was a Painkiller. The food was ok. We got the soup dumplings (4 stars, much spicier than I expected), the crab rangoons (3 1/2 stars) and the Hawaiian Pizza (3 stars -- this was rather small and lacked seasoning) The service was great! Our primary server was fun, personable and definitely was having a good time. This is the perfect spot to grab a drink or two before moving on to game of bowling, or to grab dinner at one of the many spots in Highland Park. Thanks for a fun time Lucky Tiki, we had a blast!

Our server was super nice and helpful even though it was very busy. We started with cocktails I got the WHATS GOOD HERE. Ziiiiiiiiiiing! This cocktail is so unique! Try the drink first (which was absolutely yummy) then take a bite of the flower that sits on top. It gives a whole different experience. It feels tingly, a little numbing and gives lemony vibes. It changes everything. So cool! Each appetizer was better than the last. The WHIPPED FETA was the perfect start with the softest pillowy pita I've ever had! The MUSHROOM SHISH had the perfect chili crunch kick! The OCTOPUS was perfectly cooked and had a really good labneh on the bottom. All the dishes were well balanced and flavorful. If you haven't come here yet, you're missing out! Great vibes, great food and drinks!

I think the only thing that was fully devoured was the butter noodles from the kids menu -- which was basically macaroni noodles with nothing but butter on them. Didn't need a reservation to get seating right away -- given the terrible food, I can see why. The ambiance here is good for a date night, and people will be dressed up which is kind of rare for this part of town. I won't be back though -- head to Bavel instead.

We notified staff immediately, but the response was surprisingly indifferent. We were told that phone thefts "happen," which wasn't reassuring at all. We also asked for help reviewing security camera footage since we were seated directly in front of a camera, but days went by with little to no communication despite multiple attempts to reach the bar through DMs and email. Whether or not the theft itself could have been prevented, the lack of urgency, communication, and concern for customers left a terrible impression. If phone theft is something staff are already aware happens, I would expect much more proactive support when a guest becomes a victim. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this bar based on how the situation was handled. If you visit, keep an extremely close eye on your belongings.
