LA’s Best Party Restaurants

"This list would be void if we didn’t put at least one Lisa Vanderpump restaurant on it, so we’re choosing Pump. The gaudy restaurant in the heart of Boystown looks like it was designed by a Victorian ghost with a chandelier fetish (which, come to think of it, is a pretty good way to describe LVP), and the crowd is mostly comprised of tourists looking for Bravo! celebrities. While most of the food is best eaten with your nose plugged, there’s no denying the expensive cocktails are both good and strong. After four or five or six of them, it’ll hit you - this place is pretty fun." - brant cox, brett keating
