The Roger Room Los Angeles

An old-fashioned bar for a newfangled time. Behind the fortune-teller front, find a turn-of-the-century-style hideaway where you can knock back inventive takes on classic cocktails like Japanese Maple and Flim Flam with a selective crowd all night long.

Animal Los Angeles

Hungry like the wolf? Naked bulbs, a wooden bench, and lots of elbow room at the copper bar make the stripped-down space ideal for indulging in fried soft-shell crab, balsamic-glazed pork ribs, and chocolate-bacon crunch bars.

The Village Idiot Los Angeles

Smart, modern British pub with signature savory pies (steak and potato with pearl onion, vegetarian with greens and walnuts), fish and chips, and pints that will make you stupid (in a good way).

Lucques Los Angeles

Dependably delicious New American lunch and dinner. Decide to dine on Sunday Supper, a weekly three-course prix fixe menu of homey seasonal plates that inspired chef/owner Suzanne Goin’s cookbook of the same name.
