Restaurant & bar. Think of it as upscale gastropub with small plates. Good happy hour, but really, good to go any time of day.

I love this place for both food & drink. On most days, the windows are wide open, so you get to enjoy the best of what Southern California has to offer as you eat.

Drinks & Nightlife
Having spent quite a number of years in Boston, this place is close to my heart. A Boston themed bar in LA? Awesome. They don't serve food but they have takeout menus so you can get food delivered :)

CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. If you are a yogi, this is an awesome studio. Most classes are heated, and you can rent mats/ towels here. I really love this place.
