Catcher In The Rye

"Catcher In The Rye resides in that section of Toluca Lake dedicated entirely to the drinking needs of disgruntled studio workers. But unlike the hostile environments you find in other bars around here, this literary-themed spot is where you and your favorite coworkers can have some cocktails in peace after work. With drink names like the Tequila Mockingbird and Pearadise Lost, there’s no subtlety in the theme here, but everything tastes good and you can actually hear your friends talk, so you don’t care." - brant cox, brett keating

"Located in Toluca Lake, Catcher In The Rye is the most prime after-work drink spot in the Valley. If you couldn’t guess, this bar takes its literature theme seriously, with a library aesthetic and cocktails named things like Tequila Mockingbird. The bar bites are solid enough, and there are plenty of board games for you and your only friend at work to play while also scouring LinkedIn for new job openings." - brant cox

"Catcher In The Rye is one of those rare places you could take your agent for a quick dinner, meet your roommate for Happy Hour drinks, or have a weird meeting with your mom’s best friend’s son who’s in LA this summer and wants to pick your brain. This bar’s sole purpose in life is to provide a space for people to have uncomfortable industry meetings. With good drinks, solid bar food, and board games for when things get really dire, it delivers." - brant cox, brett keating
