    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.

    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

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

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

    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.

    Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich and booze = heaven. Best place to crash after a show at the Palladium too.

    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.

    Carrot top bartender pours the weakest drinks and is a total douchebag to the waitresses. Avoid unless other bartender perhaps...
