LA Hilltop Cocktail Bar With the Valley’s Best Views Reopens on Friday | Eater LA

"Perched in the foothills overlooking Burbank as part of the Castaway restaurant and events space on the grounds of the DeBell Golf Club, I visited the Green Room, a standalone indoor-outdoor lounge that reopens Friday, November 19. The space is sunny by day but transforms at night with fire pits, lounge-y patio seating and sweeping views over the San Fernando Valley; it originally opened in 2018 and was on extended hiatus due to the pandemic. I sampled cocktails from Cindy Quan, Emerson Martinez, and Rodolfo Magana (the Standard), including complimentary opening sips from a fountain of a drink called the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood; the program leans on Hollywood-film-inspired cocktails while still offering classics and a wine and champagne collection. On the food front, chefs Adrian Vela and Czarina Sico are steering a more upscale menu with items like steak tartare wrapped “cigars,” seafood towers, truffle popcorn chicken, and Petrossian Ossetra caviar and champagne plates, and the renewed Green Room keeps hours Thursday through Saturday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m." - Farley Elliott
