SITREP
Have you ever wanted to have an exceptional shortlist of places you can pull from in order to celebrate quickly put-together, but still important birthday soirees? THIS is one spot that could be at the top of that list.
THE SETUP
I only recently became aware of Hyatt House when my music & dance circle of friends coalesced here for a well-needed respite to celebrate some birthdays amongst us. And imagine my surprise when I discovered this spot was only four (4) blocks from where I live!
"THE STAR LOUNGE"
The Hyatt House is a really classy hotel with some exceptional room arrangements that include some excellent suite and jacuzzi configurations.
This experience is about the 3rd Floor Bar which is the celebrated "The Star Lounge", a very large community room with a stylish old school bar with plenty of room to socialize!

First come, first serve, so no reservation is necessary. Our group of 14 party-crashers found a couple of sectionals and their adjacent *smoking-style chairs*.
LE MENU
The menu is brief, but the items are exceptional! My party-associates absolutely loved their Short Rib Tacos (w/lime cabbage slaw, avocado purée & cotija, $15) and THEY SHARED! *Oh YUM*
I grabbed the Hyatt's signature Double Smash Burger (Faria brioche, Fiscalini white cheddar, house pickles, lettuce, preserved tomato, aioli & french fries, $16), and it was undeniably one of the best burgers I have had!

DRINKS
I also love getting an establishment's signature drinks as a sort of measuring stick to see how a venue stacks up against other venues I've been too.
Tonight I grabbed the Lucky Star Old Fashioned (barrel select stellum bourbon, orange, angostura, demerara sugar & luxardo cherry, $14), and it was a complete tonguegasm.

THE LOWDOWN
Great spot to celebrate, have some tasty food and enjoy libations with friends.
