"When it comes to drinking holes in the Valley, good luck finding a more up to snuff spot than Black Liquor. While the place has a well-earned reputation of being loud, it remains largely unpretentious and full of good-looking people who are serious about their cocktail intake. The interior falls somewhere between Parisian sewer system and Hobbit police station and that’s appealing after a few rounds of the best-built drinks this side of Mulholland." - brant cox
