"A lot of LA rites of passage suck - having someone rear-end you on Beverly, for example, or attempting to hike to the Hollywood Sign without a water bottle. But going to The Dresden to watch live jazz music (sadly, Marty Roberts of the iconic jazz duo Marty And Elayne passed in January 2022) is the rare rite of passage you’ll want to do more than once. The cocktails here aren’t going to blow you away, but they’re perfectly serviceable for sitting in the lounge, getting a little a toasty, and watching a flutist absolutely blow your mind." - brett keating
