Employees Only Restaurant and Bar

The 8 Best Dark Restaurants In Los Angeles

"The original Employees Only kicked off NYC's cocktail speakeasy craze when it opened almost two decades ago, so it was no surprise that when they landed in West Hollywood in 2018, it was one of the hardest tables to snag in town. Fast forward to today though, and EO has evolved into something unexpected—an actual neighborhood spot. Sure, the Italian-ish menu is just OK, and a drink here will set you back at least $16, but the retro, low-lit space feels like having dinner in a luxury airport lounge from the 1970s. In other words, it’s the perfect setting for getting dressed up, feeling hot, and drinking interesting, delicious cocktails—without having to wait in line. " - brant cox
