Marvito
West Hollywood
Marvito in West Hollywood is the latest high fidelity space to get your listening on, blessedly open late seven nights a week. Expect to hear old-school rock and roll while you sink into Tex-Mex comfort food in the location that once housed Gardens of Taxco. Crispy shrimp tacos are brushed with salsa on the outside of the shell and loaded with creamy avocado. Churros arrive cinnamon-dusted alongside a rich chocolate dipping sauce. To drink, look for original cocktails like the La Picosa, an Old Fashioned where bourbon is replaced with mezcal, as well as a tasty margarita (dubbed the Marvarita), plus a bunch of classics, including a Negroni, a Bloody Mary, a saiquiri and a Tom Collins.
Ladyhawk
West Hollywood
The mezze platter at La Peer Hotel’s Lebanese-inspired restaurant, from Top Chef champ chef Charbel Hayek, has party written all over it. The assemblage of dips — garlic labneh with pickled eggplant, wood-roasted matbucha, and hummus topped with spicy sambal, to name a few — centered by big poofs of flatbread can start or end any night in WeHo. Everything, even the entrées, are meant to be shared.
The Tower Bar
West Hollywood
Up in the iconic Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, in what was once Bugsy Siegel’s apartment, the walnut-paneled room glows rose pink. Phones are banned, shorts forbidden, dress code non-negotiable. You don’t go to Tower Bar for the food alone, though the food is very much part of the experience. Obviously, start with a martini, then the Tower Burger and its tower of fries. If you’re feeling whimsical, add the pigs in a blanket and finish with a build-your-own sundae. And just like that, you remember what makes L.A. so magic, after all.
Coucou – West Hollywood
West Hollywood
The little Venice bistro goes bigger with 75 seats in WeHo, thanks to a bigger kitchen (and menu) and outdoor seating. Of course, you still get an excellent martini, mussels marinières, steak frites, and soft serve sundaes. Just more choices, and more joie de vivre. Enjoy fresh oysters at the handsome marble-topped bar and take a drink outside to the sun-dappled, star jasmine-lined patio.
Lucky Tiki
West Hollywood
A tiki speakeasy above a hot dog stand? Take our word: It’s actually so much fun. Located above the reincarnated icon Tail o’ the Pup, Lucky Tiki was formerly Jim Morrison’s recording studio. But the vibe these days is full Polynesian, complete with a grass-skirt-lined bar, carved wooden bar stools, a beaded doorway, and heavy tiki theme-appropriate decor throughout. If you can snag a table (they do take walk-ins if you can’t book a table in advance), make sure you can find the buzzer located inside a pickle barrel just before the stairs. Once inside, order up show-stopping drinks like The Ghost of Jim Morrison, which is made with rum and a blackberry shrub, served with flaming rosemary; or an Elvis in Hawaii, a take on the King’s favorite sandwich but in drink form.
Laurel Hardware
West Hollywood
Yes, it was a former hardware store back in the day; thus the signage and name at this comfortable neighborhood staple. You’ll want to sit in the leafy back courtyard that’s perfect for nighttime sipping, but those big sliding windows make that front room quite breezy. The food is always what you seem to be craving at the moment, be it sticky gochujang wings, chopped kale, or short rib pappardelle.
The Nice Guy
West Hollywood
Sometimes nice guys do finish first, especially when they’re as nice as this cheekily named joint. Named in homage to the golden age of the mafia, they serve a menu of Italian American classics and cocktails. Expect dishes like spicy shrimp scampi, eggplant parm, and a doozy of a burger with maple-glazed bacon and housemade American cheese, all in a room outfitted with a vintage marble and brass bar and retro-cozy booths throughout.
Employees Only
West Hollywood
After the pandemic pushed the party outdoors for Summer Social Club, EO is back to serving in its streamlined dining room and lounge, found behind a neon “Psychic” sign. Like the New York original, cocktails here are usually the stars, but there’s plenty of food to go around, like steak tartare, oysters, and chicory Caesar salad with miso-tamarind dressing. As one would expect, the later hours are more for imbibing than eating, unless you’re there until 1:45 a.m., when free chicken noodle soup is handed out before you part ways.
Sushi Park
West Hollywood
You won’t find trendy sushi, California rolls, tempura, spicy tuna, or teriyaki here—signs on the door of this no-frills sushi spot make that perfectly clear. Hidden on the second floor of a West Hollywood strip mall, sushi fans (including some famous faces) are happy to hide away here for perfectly prepared nigiri and sashimi, and its accompanying steep price tag. Although there were some fantastic take-out bento boxes during the pandemic, a first-ever for the restaurant, it’s back to dining inside only.
No website; call (310) 652-0523 for reservations.
Chateau Marmont
West Hollywood
Few places capture the mythology of Hollywood quite like Chateau Marmont. Perched above Sunset Boulevard since 1929, its ivy-draped terrace and candlelit dining room exude the kind of old-school glamour that can only be found in L.A. Whether you’re tucked into a corner booth or poolside at twilight, it’s a masterclass in ambiance. The menu may lean classic — steak frites, roast chicken, the perfect omelet — but the real draw is the history and vibes. Generations of Hollywood royalty have eaten (and partied) here, and somehow it still feels like a secret.
Ysabel
West Hollywood
A paved tunnel opens into an olive tree-lined courtyard at this romantic Fairfax hideaway. Marble staircases overlooking the patio below, private gazebos, and a fireplace lounge set the mood, while the wide-ranging, crowd-pleasing menu drives it home further. Expect bright salads, hand-cut pastas, seafood, and a half-dozen or so specialty steaks; along with an extensive craft cocktail list and brunch on weekends.
Dan Tana’s
West Hollywood
If you want to know what dining in L.A. was like way before social media, and the only stars anyone cared about were the ones who walked in the door, grab a seat at Dan Tana’s. Oozing old-school Italian-American charm—checkered table tops, red leather booths, hanging Chianti bottles, lots of kitsch and red sauce—a veritable who’s-who of Hollywood have dined here, with dishes named accordingly. A staple, an icon really, since the 1960s, it’s still one of the best places for chicken parm and an icy martini. The only thing that’s changed is the new outdoor seating, courtesy of Covid. Call for reservations.
Pizzana West Hollywood
West Hollywood
Like its Brentwood sibling, there’s a lot more than pizza at this WeHo outpost, like wood-fired meatballs, fried artichoke hearts, and shaved Brussels sprout salads. That’s not to say you should skip any of chef Daniele Uditi’s pizza creations: He’s taken great pains to make a dough so perfect, it flops and rises and blisters like a proper Neapolitan crust should, but still withstands various toppings. The cacio e pepe-inspired version is the one to order if it’s your first time.
NIGHT+MARKET WeHo
West Hollywood
It’s true that Kris Yenbamroong now has a Night+Market empire that stretches all the way from Silver Lake to Venice and Las Vegas. But the West Hollywood original, which grew out of his family’s long-running Talesai restaurant (a hotspot that catered to the Sunset Strip glitterati in the ‘80s), is as fun and rambunctious as ever. A blend of traditional and California-influenced Thai, the menu has all the hits, from the party wings to the fried chicken sandwich and crazy-good crispy rice salad. But keep an eye open for new items and specials, like vegan khao soi jay, a boldly flavored coconut curry soup. And don’t forget to hit the award-winning wine list, too.
Alba Los Angeles
West Hollywood
This snazzy New York import wears its sophistication on its sleeve. Artfully blurring the line between fine dining and red sauce, Alba’s style is its own, a glamorous vibe they’re calling “vacation Italian.” Indeed, a meal here feels like a deleted scene from “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” complete with a dreamy indoor-outdoor space beneath a retractable roof and an impressive 4,000-bottle wine list with selections that range anywhere from $60 to $18,000. Don’t miss the large-format orecchiette arrabbiata, a rosemary-scented lamb scottadito, or the focaccia della casa, chef (and noted bread baker) Adam Leonti’s specialty: a golden, crusty loaf that demands to be torn into the moment it hits the table.
The Formosa Cafe
West Hollywood
The iconic Hollywood watering hole has stories. Everyone from Ava Gardner to Frank Sinatra and Bono have sipped and dined here; famous movie scenes have played out within these walls. Like any good movieland story, there were some bad times and a few botched facelifts, but Formosa was brought back to its original glory in 2019, complete with throwback Chinese-American decor, red vinyl booths, black-and-white photos of stars from today and yesteryear. Find a spot in the train car, the back bar, or the rooftop patio for Singapore Slings and plates of chow mein. Walk-ins welcome.
Jones
West Hollywood
With a classic L.A. rock-and-roll vibe and an apple pie that just won’t quit, Jones has been one of the best spots to hit for a full meal after midnight since 1994. Known for its dirty martinis and red-sauce specialties, like spaghetti and meatballs served in a cast-iron pan, it’s a magnet for famous faces who like to keep it real (but stay shrouded by dim lights in dark corners) and the post-service restaurant crowd. Call for reservations.
