This charming train-themed spot serves up regional American bites and creative cocktails in a breezy atmosphere, making it a great local hangout.
"Electric Owl is one of the cooler spots on Sunset—it’s mostly outdoors, and it feels like a vintage train station where drinking is heavily encouraged. Come specifically to drink cocktails (their spicy mezcal is a real standout). $9 Cocktails; $9 Wines; $5 Select Beers" - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park
"Taking over the extremely short-lived Gardner Junction space, Electric Owl is one of the cooler spaces on Sunset - it’s mostly outdoors, and it feels like a vintage train station where drinking is heavily encouraged. You’ll want to use this place as a bar more than a restaurant - the cocktails are the reason to come here (their spicy mezcal is a real standout). But the sweet pea salad and white pizza are both ideal for washing down all those $6 happy hour cocktails after work. photo credit: Jakob Layman" - Brant Cox
"An ideal spot for a low-key drink most nights, Electric Owl is jam-packed during big games, but it’s worth battling the crowds for one of the best burgers in the city, affordable cocktails, and a decent beer list." - kat hong, james montgomery
"When you’ve been fighting over the thermostat at work all day, it’s likely that you’ll end up drinking outside when you leave. The nice patio isn’t the only reason to go to Electric Owl - cocktails are $6 and pair well with one of LA’s best burgers (which isn’t on the Happy Hour menu, but is worth ordering anyway). The Deal: $5 beer, $6 cocktails, $7 wine, food specials. When: Daily 4:20-7pm." - brett keating
"Weho’s Electric Owl is back with limited patio and indoor seating. Wednesday-Sunday, 12-8pm, with all-day Happy Hour. More information on their Instagram." - brett keating
