Thunderbird Mixes Tex-Mex With Easy Drinks in Brentwood | Eater LA

"Opened after a brief delay in the former Bar Food space, this Brentwood neighborhood hangout brings a dazzling Southwestern aesthetic and full Tex‑Mex menu inspired by the Four Corners. Expect chile con queso, puffy tacos, nachos and chicharones alongside plentiful mezcal and tequila and casual PBR buckets. The room — with slightly distressed leather booths set among desert‑landscaped walls, hanging cacti and adobe tiles — features eight TVs, making it an ideal spot to catch a Dodger game during the playoff run; weekly karaoke adds to the lively vibe. The drink list mixes classics and originals (including a slushy mint julep) and offers 14 beers on draft. Hours run 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., and the operation is set to evolve further in the coming weeks." - Mona Holmes
