The cocktails are all top notch and the food is incredible, especially the smashburger and the Peruvian steak stir fry. Also really enjoy coming for the Tuesday night pop culture trivia. But this past weekend I also had the pleasure of hosting an event (for work) at Inkwell for the first time and I could not recommend them highly enough. The staff, especially Victoria, were all very attentive and easy to work with. Victoria even came up with a special cocktail for us. They were affordable and very flexible to our evolving needs. Definitely hope to host an event here again soon but will be visiting plenty in the meantime!

Went here for a date. I've lived in Burbank 8 yrs and never knew about this place. My only regret…read moreis not coming here sooner. We only partook in drinks but they were great, as was the service and the vibe. A lot of people around us were getting food and it looked and smell delicious. I'm definitely headed back to try the menu. I dint recall the evening we were there but they were getting ready for karaoke and the next night was trivia night. So,... great place for a date (even if you don't want to go on a 2nd with them) you might want to come back with or without them. Parking can be a challenge. Street parking or you can park in the lots close by of Walgreens or Ralph's and walk over. There are signs stating towing but I don't think it would likely happen.

I've got to be honest, I didn't know what we were getting into walking up to a huge barrel entrance BUT once I got inside it's a whole VIBE! Especially the cute patio area. I've tried : Tater tots are made just right . Crispy on the outside and moist inside . 5/5 Sweet potato fries to my surprise were the best I've ever had bc I usually dislike them everywhere else . What makes these stand out is the aoli sauce that's paired so well with it. 5/5 Fish tacos were well stacked with flavor and lightly battered fries moist fish with a lime wedge 5/5 A Lavender Gin Cocktail. Might be my fave drink here! 5/5 Mirkwood looks murky but tastes good 4/5 Gin mojito was refreshing and well balanced 5/5 There's two bars. One in the front when you walk in and the other in their back patio . Mark definitely knows what he's doing behind the bar. There's a good amount of tables in both areas too . I keep coming back for their friendly service , good bar food and well made drinks.

This place came up several times when I researched on great restaurants that have excellent vibes…read moreand great food. Although it didn't really necessarily show up as "the best food in LA area" but all the reviews were so good so I became curious to try. Mainly the reviews also raved about the vibes, services, and live music. Well, they were not wrong! It was fairly easy to make a reservation through Opentable, and I made a reservation for two people for my birthday dinner on Sunday night. I put on the notes that it's my bday so it'll be nice to get a nice table near the stage. I didn't have a high expectation, cos I'd never been to the place and I didn't make a call or anything. But wow, they definitely gave us a great table at the very front! As many reviewers had mentioned, the acoustic of the restaurant is really great. You can barely hear other people's conversations. There's a live jazz band playing, so you can really enjoy that. Although it made it slightly hard to hear what other nearby people say to you either, haha. Our server Dawson was a really great one! Very nice, very informative and just has a great vibe that made you feel comfortable to converse with him. We also asked if he could take a picture of us and he went above and beyond with taking our pictures haha. He took the table lamp as our additional "lighting". Such a great service! Dawson also made a few suggestions on food. We ordered the milk bun (so great!), the tiger prawns tostada (omg, my favorite of the night!), braised lamb pasta, pork belly risotto, and roasted broccolini. Everything was really good and really filled us up! We also got the "smokin old fashioned" and "Wake up and repeat" cocktails. It was plenty of food for us so we asked for a check. Dawson asked if we wanted a dessert but we were already full. He asked if it's ok to give us a lil treat for my bday. It was a really nice dessert :). Oh I forgot to mention that they also put a small bday card on the table for me. The prices of food and drinks are on the higher sides, but I feel like it's worth it due to the live music and the vibe. It easily covers the entertainment part. We definitely will go back and recommend this place for anyone who's looking into a nice date night or to celebrate something special. I was informed that Friday has more of a "party vibe" here, although it's still a jazz performance. Sunday feels more laid back :) Overall I'm really pleased by this place. I used to think that I don't care that much about excellent service as long as the food is great, but I was wrong. The excellent hospitality just made the night even better than expected. Thank you for making my bday dinner memorable.

This place was on my list and we happen to pop in at 5pm but reservations are highly recommended…read more It was a little difficult to find because it's just a door without any signs, but I saw the valet guy pop out so we figured it was the entrance. The usually have a live band after 7pm and the sound in the resturant is amazing. It's like a recording studio. The staff was very friendly! The decor and ambiance was also impressive. Definitely swanky but down to earth vibes. I got the rasberry beret cocktail and it was different but fabulous. Not sure how else to describe it. It was refreshing. We got the tiger prawns and it was presented as a toasta, which had a great flavor and texture. The apple salad was also refreshing and a good portion to share between 2 people. The broccolini was cooked perfectly and my favorite after the tiger prawns was the Dungeness crab pasta. It had uni on top! The uni elevated the dish, and honestly there were a good amount of crab meat in the dish. Overall well balanced and creamy. The 2 of us left full and satisfied. Highly recommend this place for a date night. There's also plenty of street parking when we went but there is also valet for $15.

Music was kinda loud that it was kinda hard to converse with friends. Bartenders we're nice, although it took awhile for our orders to be served. Quesadilla and garlic fries we're not bad choices. I Just can't say the same to the chicken tenders. Parking is residential so a little walk shouldn't be a problem. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to visit this bar again.

It's smaller than I expected with more outdoor seating than indoor, so be aware during summer time and I'd recommend mosquito repellent! We did not make a reservation (I do recommend if you want indoor seating on busy nights) but we came at 4 pm and got a table that was reserved at 9 pm so we got to sit until we left that table at ~8:30 pm. We loved the indoor tiki decor and thought the whole vibe of the place was so cute and charming and we did appreciate some of the other customers who dressed up in Tiki style clothing as well. We did get dropped off/picked up but there's theoretical street parking out front for your DD (drink responsibly!!). They had a summer drinks special menu and we got the TBD and the Pure Imagination, I preferred the pure imagination. But our absolute favorite drink was the Nutty Chi Chi, a vodka blend on a classic Piña Colada! They don't serve food themselves but there is a taco stand out back after ~6pm that takes cash + card (card fee!) and will drop off food to your table. Such a fun night and looking forward to coming around again!
