Little Bear

Wow, has this place changed! Remember The Royal Clayton, my Birthday Party was there in 2007?
Well..... introducing the latest in Downtown L.A. -  Little Bear with a much lighter look.  If you're looking for a Belgian Beef Cafe, this is the place! Thanks to The Oinkster & Surly Goat guys.

"An arts district cafe pouring Belgian style imported and domestic beer on draught and from an extensive bottle list with a kitchen showcasing Belgian food favorites in an updated traditional style"

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I do have an appetite!!!  The menu looks great & they stay open late!!

L & E Oyster Bar

 

Brought to you by the same owner as Covell, that yummy wine bar on Hollywood Blvd., has now opened up a little joint in Silver Lake. In addition to oysters, they will be pouring beer & wine!

The decor  is simple, sweet & clean, with tiles, concrete & stools at the bar.  They don't take reservations (yet), so expect a wait as they only have 10 tables.

Carmine's Restaurant & Bar

 
Carmine's in South Pasadena has reopened with a completely new look that is so Italian, so Mobster. I love what they've done with the space and decor....especially the chandeliers! It has a warm, yet sophisticated feel.  You can tell that a lot of thought was put into the design & new aesthetics.  If you have never been, dining is on left with a separate bar on the right, The Holy Water Room (love the name).

I recently went to a Birthday Party in the Holy Water Room and it was such a great time with a DJ playing down tempo, 80's New Wave & other great dance tunes.

One other thing.... I absolutely love it when bartenders are in uniform. Go see them, great service!

In the Holy Water Room:
Tuesday -  Happy Hour all night
Thursday -  DJ at 9:00pm
Saturday - DJ  at 9:00pm followed by Burlesque show 10:00pm to 12:30am
Wednesday - Saturday -  Happy Hour from 3:30pm - 7:30pm
