"Patrons have been sipping martinis at the Dresden in Los Feliz since the Old Hollywood-esque bar and restaurant opened in 1954. The dim interior and timeless leather bar offer the ideal backdrop for a classic martini, ordered to one’s preference. Try the Vesper martini with gin, vodka, Lillet Blanc, and a burst of brightness from an expressed lemon peel. Those looking for a caffeine kick (and something a little sweet) may also enjoy the rum-based espresso martini. While Marty and Elayne may no longer be performing, the Dresden still offers excellent live entertainment the five days a week it's open." - Rebecca Roland
