The Honor Bar - Review - Beverly Hills - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Attached to the behemoth that is South Beverly Grill, Honor Bar is the cool, younger sibling of the Hillstone family tree. As the name suggests, the walk-in-only space is taken up by a long bar with leather stools and two-seater booths running along the wall. We love swinging by after work with a friend or alone, ordering a shaken-to-order daiquiri and the slaw-covered burger unique to Honor Bar, and staring at whatever game is on TV. The crowd skews younger (think CAA junior agents and exhausted assistants), but if you want the premium Hillstone experience with slightly fewer crowds, this spot is your easiest route. Food Rundown Martini Don't check our math on this, but at any given point, 90% of the people at Honor Bar are drinking martinis. So, you might as well join them, especially considering they're equal parts strong and smooth. photo credit: Brant Cox Honor Burger This is the same burger you'll find at other Hillstone locations, except it's topped with creamy coleslaw. And for that reason alone, it's better than the others. Ding's Crispy Chicken Sandwich The most popular dish in the Hillstone empire for a reason. It's a perfectly engineered sandwich. The visibly juicy buttermilk fried chicken is layered with spicy slaw, strips of cold Swiss cheese, tomato, and mayo, then neatly stacked on a sesame bun as precisely as a wedding cake. This and a cocktail is an ideal post-work meal. photo credit: Katie Clark" - Brant Cox
