    Burger
    Ellie R.

    My boyfriend surprised me with this restaurant for Valentines and he made a spectacular choice! Not only is the interior classy, beautiful, and warm, the patio is spacious and equally inviting with heat lamps and cushy booths. The servers were all incredible and very on top of their service, as I overheard our waitress switching between English and Spanish to the preference of each person at the table next to us. The menu is reasonably priced with great portion sizes, and everything was delicious. My boyfriend said this was one of if not the best burger he's ever had, we both agreed the peanuts were the star of the night!! My half chicken was savory and sumptuous, I can't wait to come back and try that gravy on the short rib poutine. The happy hour prices and options are phenomenal, and with their own parking lot in the back you can rest assured the Edmond has everything you're looking for and more.

    Oyster
    Nakiesha M.

    Let's start with the oysters, 10/10 will refit recommend! I had a Porn Star Martini, about a 7/10. It was more lemony than I expected since I usually taste more passion fruit, but it was still yummy. The spot has a very grown and sexy vibe and I will be back. I came on a random night and the DJ played really good music. It's perfect for a girls night out or a nice intimate date. Our server was very attentive and everything ordered came out in a good amount of time.

    Goat cheese croquettes

    Delicious food. We had a great fried Caesar salad and goat cheese croquettes. Great service ambiance and at night there was a DJ. I Met very interesting people and it was just at our hotel. What a great night

    1927 Old Fashioned. Delicious.

    This is a gorgeous bar located in the Hollywood Historic Hotel. (Like the word "authentic," I always raise an eyebrow when I see the word "historic" in any name.) The Edmon has a solid food and cocktail menu, including a few nice mocktail options. The charcuterie plate (which comes with both meats and cheeses) is very nice. It is worth ordering just to get the basket of crisps that comes with it. I could have eaten a thousand of them. While the decor is very upscale, this being Southern California, you will see customers dressed in all manner of clothes, from cheap printed t-shirts to more upscale cocktail attire. Also, sports fans may be disappointed to learn there are no televisions in this bar. There is plenty of freeeee valet parking in the lot behind the historic hotel so you have no excuse for not visiting. This is a great-looking, comfortable bar for cocktails and munchies.

    Duck confit tacos
    Jose R.

    The space alone makes it a worth stop. We were looking for a spot before a show at the pantages and were glad we found this place. Happy hour is from 4-7 do arriving at 5:30 gave us plenty of good options. Oysters were fresh with two sauces, duck confit tacos were flavorful and the nachos had a hint of what tasted like mole. We weren't done so we went for the short rib poutine - gooey and delicious. Old fashioned and glass of Grenache complimented the meal. Staff was attentive and we can't wait to return.

    Finally had a chance to stop by after a long long anticipated first visit but did not disappoint!! What a hidden gem and absolutely stunning and beautiful venue!! Humongous bar with plenty of table seating plus outside patios plus rear parking!!! Live dj spinning disco most of night. Staff were friendly and accommodating but bartender was super funny cool and made me an amazing white Mezcal Negroni....Delicious!!! Vibe was a little strange and lighting...? Maybe a little too bright but definitely would comeback. Also keep in mind they close early here....I think 11pm or midnight?

    Who knew this lovely little hotel and its cozy dining and bar space was tucked away on Melrose ? I did not eat here, but we enjoyed a few very well made cocktails. Our barkeep was quick and skilled. I loved the decor which channeled speakeasy comes to old Hollywood. And huge bonus- they have their own parking lot!!! (Although I suspect it fills up quickly).

    Old Fashioned
    Erick D.

    Excellent stop. Had a concert trip to the Wiltern so we popped in for a few drinks and apps. Great call. Parking was free and plentiful. The bar was gorgeous and the food was delicious. We had the $9 happy hour everyday Old Fashioned's. Perfect pours and paired it with some asada fries and Caesar salad. Now wish this place was closer to me. The bartenders were friendly and provided excellent service. Stop by for Happy Hour any day.

    Entrance

    It is quite hard to miss the rich architecture of the building where The Edmon is. When you step in, it gives the Great Gatsby vibes. Art deco with geometric shapes and lines upon entering thru its doors, plush velvet soft seating at the tables, sleek and sophsticated bar area with soft lighting and great music. This place is perfect for after work drinks or a night on the town. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Frenchie. He was cool energy, singing and dancing as he served up some great drinks. We ordered their Spot light cocktail which was gin based (this cocktail changes each time) and old fashioned. Both were delicious. We also ordered short rib barbacoa nachos which were perfect to share. Overall a great place to check out. Their happy hour is from 4pm - 7pm, reasonable expected cost based on location and parking was easy and convenient. I didn't check out their outdoor area but would be great to go back once weather gets better.

    Old Fashioned and Spotlight Cocktail (Gin with apricot)
    Hebers C.

    What a cool little spot! Came here before heading to the Pantages (which is only 2 miles away, great for getting a bite to eat or cocktail). They have a nice happy hour selection, from cocktails, beer and wine and shareable appetizers. Frenchie, our bartender was very helpful and when he stepped away, any of the other staff were happy to assist. He was also singing and dancing, which makes sense because their playlist was incredible. I had to SoundHound some songs for my own playlist. The food was delicious, we almost ended up ordering another plate of short rib nachos because they were so good! Topped with avocado and a side of green salsa, each nacho was full of flavor. I haven't seen any Downtown Brown on Draft anywhere, so I had to get it. They said they don't always carry it, so I was pleasantly surprised. We also tried their "Spotlight Cocktail" which changes from time to time. This time it was a Gin and Apricot concoction and I'd recommend it but I'm not sure if it'll be there when you go. But I always like trying things that aren't on the menu or seasonal just for an experience that I might have missed otherwise. We went on a Friday night and there were plenty tables but I recommend going to the bar since you get a good view of the place and can have interesting conversations with the bartenders and/or your neighbor.

    Yummy!

    Pretty good meal overall!! The chicken wings had a really crisp exterior and a great crunch, but…read morethey did lean a little dry - but honestly felt like the trade off for getting them that crispy! The sauce helped bring some juiciness back and balanced it out. The bluefin tuna bibimbap was pretty enjoyable. The tuna tasted fresh and the textures worked well together, but the dish could have used a little more seasoning to make the flavors pop. The perilla was a great touch though. It added a slightly minty flavor that complemented the tuna without taking over the dish. The beef short rib was easily the standout. PERFECTLY cooked, incredibly tender, and seasoned just right. The richness of the meat paired so well with the lettuce wraps that it almost feels like they should automatically come with the dish. Service was good and everything came out smoothly. Would come back!

Made a reservation 1 week out, and only 9:45pm was available for a Saturday for a party of 6.

The space is small, so you'll inevitably have your conversation interrupted by an alluring siren's call or some ceremonial rowers. This is a crucial part of the tiki experience for me.

We decided to get a drink to celebrate Father's Day, only to strike out at the first two bars we tried--I guess a lot of places are closed at 9:30 on a Sunday. This is how we ended up at Thunderbolt, a buzzy bar in Echo Park, just far enough away that we'd never made our way over. I loved it immediately. Thunderbolt has the friendly, comfortable atmosphere of a neighborhood bar and the hip aesthetic and high-level cocktails of a millennial boozer destination. (Not that young people can't or shouldn't hang out here, but it seems especially geared toward people like us, who drank at Walker Inn a decade ago.) We ended up sitting next to a guy who regularly drives up from Palos Verdes. I guess the place gets pretty busy, but it was ideal on a Sunday night. Happening but not crowded, with just enough space at the bar for us to grab two seats together. The bartender was great, super helpful and welcoming. He also made excellent drinks. Thunderbolt is one of those bars with an encyclopedic illustrated book for a menu. Not a long menu, just a detailed one, with a lot of information available about each drink. We got a Liquid Picnic and a Barcelonnette--just one round to close out the weekend. Both were delicious. The Liquid Picnic was a smooth, savory gin martini made with London dry gin, tomato, citron, vermouth, rosemary, and black pepper. I learned from the book that it used clarified tomato water. (There was also further reading about the clarification process.) The Barcelonnette was a mezcal sour with Suze, passionfruit, and lime, the foam made without egg white through some geeky mixologist process. Thunderbolt is not our neighborhood bar, but we plan to go back when we can to check out the rest of the menu. It's a wonderful place, well worth a jaunt on the freeway.

It wasn't your typical corner haunt. There was an intentionality here that turned a simple evening out into a genuine education. The curation of spirits was nothing short of impressive, but what set the experience apart was the conversation. I arrived knowing the difference between a glass and a bottle, but left with a newfound appreciation for the nuances of rum, the craftsmanship behind a smooth whiskey, and the unexpected complexities hidden within a well-made vodka. Each pour came with a story, a history, and a level of expertise that transformed every sip into a lesson. The atmosphere was the perfect anchor for it all--utterly chill and devoid of the frantic, forced energy you find elsewhere. It was the kind of place where the music sits at just the right volume and the lighting invites you to actually linger. It was refreshing to find a spot that treats its craft with such respect while keeping the vibe completely grounded. I walked out feeling a little more cultured and a lot more relaxed. Consider this my official notice: I'll definitely be back.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've been transported somewhere else. Every room is thoughtfully designed, and the atmosphere is immersive and unlike anything we've experienced before. The storyteller was welcoming, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. I really enjoyed learning about the history of alcohol and the stories behind each tasting. The cocktails were definitely on the stronger side, but you could tell they were crafted with high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, our experience was somewhat tainted by our hostess. She came across as impatient and unwelcoming, which set the tone early on. When we first entered, we were each handed a small glass of liquid, and then she immediately walked away without explaining what it was or what we were supposed to do with it. We assumed it was a welcome drink, so we all took a sip only to discover it was actually a palate cleanser. A little guidance would have gone a long way. The next room had a beautiful bayou-inspired setting. While the historical information was interesting, I found myself wishing the experience leaned more into the mystical or magical themes that the venue seems to promise. One thing worth mentioning is the restroom setup. I don't mind coed restrooms, but there was no signage explaining that the restroom is shared with two open stalls. Some guests may appreciate a heads-up, especially those who might feel uncomfortable or triggered by that arrangement. After the tastings, you're taken outside. A few of us stopped to use the restroom first, and when we returned, our friend had already left the table and all of our drinks had been cleared away. We were disappointed because we hadn't finished them. Our friend had been told she couldn't take the drinks with her, but when we returned we could take them outside. She was told that they'd be there when we got back. We were disappointed. The outdoor portion of the experience also felt a bit rushed. We barely had time to enjoy our drinks, let alone take photos of the beautiful space. The beignets at the end, however, were absolutely delicious and a highlight of the evening! Finally, we were escorted to the members-only bar, which was stunning. It gave off major Harry Potter vibes with its hidden, magical atmosphere. One of my friends was still finishing her drink on the patio since we couldn't legally walk on the sidewalk with it. Our hostess told us she'd come back for us but she never did. After waiting quite a while, another staff member happened to walk by and kindly helped us. Once inside, everything turned around again. The bartender was warm, friendly, and helped us choose drinks off the menu. I ordered the piña colada, and while it was much stronger and different from the traditional version I'm used to, it was absolutely delicious!!! Despite some service issues and inconsistent communication, I would still recommend Obscure. The concept is unique, the cocktails are excellent, and the venue is truly one of a kind. I'm hoping our hostess was simply having an off day, because with more attentive service, this experience could easily be five stars.
