A Hollywood bar hot spot, that I considered my living room for quite a few years. Weekend nights there is such a huge crowd at late night that it gets hard to move. The food is filling, though not too special, with a mostly chicken menu (birds get it?). I live in the neighborhood and can attest that the parking is brutal so you might want to consider the valet.

Some good bartenders and well mixed drinks, and not too expensive, though late at night it is standing room only, with smokers outside at the tables, which you can drink at after 11 PM when the kitchen closes, but they go fast. The outside tables you can smoke and drink at, as long as you don't take the drink outside the barrier.

The menu has all different kinds of chicken, from half chickens, chicken caesar, chicken wraps, and all come with side orders. They have good fries, chicken wings, and onion rings. The food can be a little bland, but is good to drink with, and isn't too expensive.
