    by far the coolest new spot on Wilshire. Finally a place that has style. If you're looking for the wannabe nightclub spot in SM keep walking a few more steps, if you want something unique - walk in

    Sunday brunch, live jazz, bottomless mimosas, and... Chicken & waffles (with the best garlic lemon butter ever!) .. Pulled pork Benedict really good as well!

    Nice place with friendly bartenders. It seems the uniform requires that they have their bras on show..somewhat at odds with the feel of the place. Also, note happy hour is only on weekdays

    Happy hour is 6-8, all night Tuesday. 2 for 1 well drinks. Chicken Schnitzel Salad was great. Start the night with a glass of wine, finish with a few scotches. Bartenders are fun. Read more

    A funky, dimly lit piano bar with an American jazz-era feel. Check out their live music schedule so you can get in a little dance to alleviate the day's stress.
