A Food Expert’s Favorite Places to Get Bar Burgers and Martinis in LA | Eater LA
"Lauded as the author's favorite martini vibe in all of Los Angeles, this hotel bar reads as real Hollywood: exclusive-feeling, very dark, often impossible to secure a seat at the bar, and sometimes loud from live music — an ideal place to be alone or with one other person. They usually shake the martini here rather than stir it (which the reviewer notes "bruises and dilutes it"), and patrons are handed complimentary potato chips and peanuts while drinking. The burger is spare and effective: a soft, toasted bun supporting a nicely charred, wide patty that rests on arugula and is topped with a choice of cheddar, American, or Gruyere (the reviewer says, "Would I prefer a slice of onion on there? I would"). The fries are the best of the group — thin, crispy, and fluffy — served in a vertical cone with ramekins of Dijon mustard, ketchup, and mayo. Burger and Fries: $45. Beefeater Martini: $26." - Noah Galuten
