"With a name like Black Market Liquor, you’d probably assume you only go to this Studio City restaurant to drink cocktails. And while you certainly can, taking advantage of their tremendous beer list is a smart choice as well. With seven rotating taps and over 30 different bottles ranging from Boomtown to Modern Times to Eagle Rock Brewery, Black Market concentrates mostly on LA-based brewers, but there are some regional spots thrown in too. The food menu covers a lot of ground (the fried cauliflower and Korean wings are musts), but everything is easily shareable and exactly what you want while drinking too much beer on a Tuesday." - brant cox, brett keating
"Studio City’s Black Market Liquor Bar is offering a five-course Dine LA menu priced at $45. Each set menu includes dishes like burrata with candied squash, charred Brussels sprouts, and scallops." - Rebecca Roland
"“If you invite your date for a pre-dinner cocktail at Black Market Liquor Bar, a drink might morph into a full meal, and next thing you know, you’re canceling your dinner reservation and having a long night here instead. Besides the great bourbon list, this gastropub has incredible small plates. Many of them have an Italian twist. I think of this place as a Swiss Army knife restaurant that comes in handy for all occasions: midweek cocktails, casual dates, somewhere to keep the night going after dinner.”" - sylvio martins
"Black Market Liquor Bar’s menu is all over the place, and we mean that in the best possible way. Because whether you’re on their patio or in your living room, you’ll be able to eat lobster rolls, chicken bao with pickled mushrooms, and sweet corn and chicken ravioli all in the same meals." - brett keating
"Your bartending skills are so bad that you only recently learned a Penicillin cocktail doesn’t actually have penicillin in it. Time to call up Black Market Liquor. The restaurant/bar in Studio City is serving a number of different cocktails to-go, including a Painkiller, an Old Cuban, and yes, a very-not-medicinal Penicillin. All cocktails come in 16-ounce containers and serve two people - or just you during your friend’s birthday Happy Hour. Delivery available on most major platforms." - brant cox
