Classic Hollywood eatery serving iconic martinis & American fare
"Most people come to LA with the intention of experiencing some sort of classic, Rat Pack-era Hollywood atmosphere, and end up looking in all the wrong places. Go to Musso & Frank. The Hollywood Blvd. steakhouse is one of the oldest restaurants in the city and while it’s definitely filled with tourists, nothing beats cruising up to the bar and drinking a few of their lethal martinis. Most of the bartenders have been working there for decades and will probably tell you some insane story about a dead celebrity while they’re midway through a heavy pour. You don’t walk out of Musso & Frank, you stumble." - brant cox
"Nothing beats cruising up to the bar and drinking a few lethal martinis when it’s pouring outside. And if you’re looking for a classic Hollywood atmosphere to do it in, go to Musso & Frank. This Hollywood Blvd. steakhouse is one of the oldest restaurants in the city and most of the bartenders have been working here for decades. If you’re lucky, one of them will tell you some insane story about a dead celebrity while they’re midway through a heavy pour." - nikko duren
"This Hollywood institution has been around since 1919, and therefore, is the recipient of our Highest Probability Of Flirting With A Bartender Who Is Also A Ghost Award. In truth, Musso & Frank is filled mostly with brochure-toting tourists and food that hasn’t changed much since opening day, but if you leave here in a bad mood, you can only blame yourself. The martinis are some of our favorite in town, the waiters all still wear red jackets and bowties, and there’s a hidden phone booth in the back in the event things get hot and heavy with your ghost-tender." - brant cox
"Musso & Frank has been open for over a century and is perhaps the only restaurant in town where both brochure-clutching tourists and old men complaining about Nixon’s foreign policy live in harmony. Hollywood's timeless steakhouse is an undisputed civic treasure, and even if you don’t need to rush to order anything from the throwback menu—though the filet mignon with watercress is surprisingly good—sitting at the bar and ordering a cocktail is a quintessential experience. We prefer the classic martini, served with a chilled sidecar on ice. It’s a timeless, technically perfect drink that still makes gravity tricky after a few sips. Baby iceberg wedges, filet mignon, sanddabs, lyonnaise potatoes" - brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"This old-fashioned Hollywood restaurant is Glamor with a capital-G. You’re not here to get hit on by scantily clothed recent grads who look like they just got off a double shift at Hollister - you’re here to wear sunglasses indoors, find a seat at the bar, then sip on one of the most iconic martinis in the city. Stirred and served with a sidecar on chilled ice, it’s technically a perfect cocktail that’s been served the same way for decades, and one that makes gravity tricky after just half a glass." - kat hong
