Cabo Cantina
It's all about the Taco Tuesday and this place knows how to do unlimited tacos. This place also has some of the best happy hour specials ever! They have two for one specials from 4 to 8 everyday. This is a young college type bar so no frills here just margaritas the size of your head.
Baked Potato
This place is a pretty good joint to listen to jazz music. There thing is a wide assortment of baked potatoes. The potato I had was good and so way the music. The staff was not very cordious and everything was kind of expensive.
Improvisation Cafe
I went here to see Rob Riggle preform with some friends and it was great. Before the show started we had dinner at the restaurant. I had the Balsamic Chicken and it was spectacular. The show was great and so were the drinks.
Troubadour
This is a pretty awesome place to catch a show. I've been here for a couple of small bands and had a blast. This is a small venue so plan ahead to get tickets. This drinks are good and there is usually parking available.
La Piazza Restaurant
This place has excellent Italian food and has a beautiful outdoor patio close to the fountain in the Grove. FYI, this place is pretty pricey so expect to shell out so serious cash on food.
Kado - Sushi - Teppan - Lounge
I took a friend here for lunch one day. The food was great with lots of interesting menu items. I ended up getting the samon tartar and my friend got a specialty roll. The only downside is that this place is really expensive.
Molly Malone's Irish Pub
This is an awesome bar! This place is known for give Flogging Molly is start and apparently they still stop by for surprise jam sessions. This is a great dive bar with good drinks and awesome live music. Everytime I've been here I've caught some great music. Definitely stop by this fun place!
Lava Lounge
I went here with a few friends for a drink. This place is a really close bar/lounge right off the main Hollywood drag. The inside is covered in dark wood with walls that had these really interesting wood panel designs. The bar menu has drinks named after silly forrest creatures and what not. They make some awesome drinks here and I totally recommend the tequila cosmo.
Power House
Haha, so I don't know about it being a "Power House" but this place is definitely the epitome of a dive bar. My boyfriend took me here to meet friends for a warm up drink once. Not sure if I'd order anything but bottled beer but the prices are cheap. However you might need a tetanus shot before entering this place.
NCJW/LA Council Thrift Store
This is not a bad place to shop for designer stuff but the prices are a little steep for used goods and I hate places like this that have no wear to try things on. I did find some chanel items and a couple nice shirts.
