"In a charming 1911 craftsman bungalow on the far end of Colorado is local favorite, Little Beast. It’s as much refined as it is laid back, making for an ideal gathering spot for dinner and drinks with friends. American gourmet comfort food is served in the main house, on the relaxed front porch, at the coziest little bar or, the best in our opinion, under the back patio’s twinkle lights. After his position as Chateau Marmont’s sous chef, Chef Sean Lowenthal was intent to create an honest, neighborhood restaurant with a seasonal menu; a place where you could feel comfortable bringing your kids or a date, and that didn’t entail making a trek west. Happy Hour: Small plates half off. Wine $5. Beer $4." - Hype Type Studio & Steph Ashmore
"If you’re planning a weeknight date in Eagle Rock, head to Little Beast. This wine bar’s American-ish menu with chicken liver mousse and beef stroganoff is consistent, but the atmosphere is what will keep you coming back. Located on the grounds of a large converted bungalow with plenty of string lights, Little Beast is romantic but never feels too serious. That makes it a great setting to flirt and also tell your date that they have a fennel frond stuck in their teeth." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"There’s something intrinsically charming about eating dinner in a craftsman bungalow, which is why you’ll often find us at Little Beast on date night. This neighborhood bistro is one of the most popular restaurants in Eagle Rock, with a menu of solid dishes like salmon belly mousse and sweet corn risotto, and a warm atmosphere where sparks can’t help but fly. There’s a wrap-around front porch for watching the sunset over the hills, an interior filled with nooks and crannies, and a string-lit back patio that feels like you’re hanging out in a friend's backyard. It’s moody but festive and ideal for letting your date know that you’re into this." - brant cox
"Little Beast in Eagle Rock might not have a designated parking lot of its own, but that’s no reason to sweat. Thanks to a quiet location at the end of Eagle Rock’s main drag on Colorado Blvd., there is copious amounts of street parking in every direction—even on Friday and Saturday nights when every couple in the area descends upon its twinkling patio for date night." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder
"Eagle Rock staple Little Beast is opening for Monday dinner service starting March 20, with plans to offer a different — and more soulful — weekly menu from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Dishes from chef-owner Monique King will include sautéed oysters, fried green tomatoes, a smoked brisket chili, and larger dishes like a crawfish spaghetti and gumbo. The new Monday menu is below." - Farley Elliott
