Burger is delicious & juicy, & the shoe string fries are just regular fries. I don't consider it the best burger in L.A. Umami truffle burger, & the Misfit burger (Santa Monica) are better!

Pop in here for some brussels sprouts, burger on an English muffin with a side of onion rings before a movie or heading out into Hollywood. Plenty of beer, wine & liquor for even the fussiest drinkers

One of the best burgers restaurants in the USA. They use organic food here and the flavor of their balsamic oil is excellent. Great to meet with friends or first dates. "Fancy smanshy" bring money.

Still the best burger in L.A. Order it medium rare, with Gruyère only on an English muffin. Add mixed fries to that. Done.

Great, REAL burgers. No gourmet, just amazing burgers that you could make on your grill...if you were a good cook that is.

The Bowery's menu mixes a little French brasserie with Anglo bar food in a smart and stylish black-and-white tiled space that looks way nicer than any subway-influenced decor has a right to look. Read more

The fish and chips are made perfectly and the garlic fries are unique and tastey

Depends on who's bartending, but try ordering the Chapelsky. Canton, St. Germain, Bulleit, and fresh lemon juice. Delicious, strong martini, and does a body good.

As of 2/8/2017 the menu has changed to more focused offerings- keeping the burger, of course!

Falafel with homemade hummus, cucumber salad with yogurt dressing, juicy black olives and crostini...yum

The Burger with St. Andre, Bacon, Red Onion Confit, and Jalapenos. Side of Gravy Fries for Carb Cheat Day.

The sautéed spinach and garlic is a must try. Amazing!

I know it's a burger joint, but GET. THE. HUMMUS. My god, I wanted to lick the plate.

Marina is the best bar tender of all time.
Monica S.December 21, 2010
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich and booze = heaven. Best place to crash after a show at the Palladium too.

Onion Rings were old school battered. Not Panko bread crumbs.

Get the burger - trust me! So good (minus the onion, of course)

The food was alright. The burger needs big improvements for 14 dollars. Food just not that good and stupid expensive for what you get. They do have Dale's in a can. And service was friendly.
PeterApril 14, 2017
The burger was cooked more than requested and the fries were cold. Service was slow with 1/3-full capacity.

I've had consistently rude service here. But the wine is okay.
Timbo SliceSeptember 17, 2011
Carrot top bartender pours the weakest drinks and is a total douchebag to the waitresses. Avoid unless other bartender perhaps...
Pangfua HerApril 29, 2010
The pork rib gravy fries is a must!

The Bowery is offering a Foursquare discount but will not honor it. It seems they are getting free advertisement... :(

Referencing mcdonalds burger recipes when ordering is not an effective way to flirt with the waitress.
