Best Of: Reverse Happy Hour.

Whether you started drinking early and “forgot” to eat (or you’re just hungry again- no judgement), or you were working late and are getting ready to start the night; sometimes you just need some discounted drinks and food at a time that you can actually make (can anyone actually ever make a 5PM happy hour?).  In these cases the early bird doesn’t get the worm because here is our roundup of the “Best Of:  Reverse Happy Hour” all around town:

  1. PIZZA ROMANA – Nightly from 9PM-close.  A rotating selection of one regional

    Italian red, white and sparkling for $6 as well as a Pizza bianca and Pasta al forno for $6 each.  The scene is laid-back with those no fuss feels.  Just really good food, brought to you really fast when you need it the most.

 

 

 

2. LA POUBELLE – Nightly from 11-12:30PM – This is one of our fave but slightly pricey French restaurants so any time we manage to stay awake until 11 without having already eaten, we’re all up in this Franklin Village spot. Reduced prices on fan faves such as their crispy brussel sprouts, mac & cheese, truffle fries and house wines.

 

3. LOVE & SALT – Sun-Thurs; 9PM-10PM and Fri-Sat; 10PM-11PM.  It’s $20 for your choice of either a burger or ANY pizza AND a glass of red, white or a brewskie.  The food is delish, the chef is hott and anything to switch up going to The Kettle or MB Pizza for those after the bars drunken eats.  And this “anything” is next-level.  So you win on all accounts.

 

4. JONES HOLLYWOOD – Sun-Thurs from 10PM-2AM. They have $4 beers, $5 you-call-its and house wines and $6 cocktails. Oh, and $5 salads, $6 pizzas and $8 pastas.  Too many dates have continued to this spot for a round 2 and no one was ever complaining (probably BC of the big pours and dark secluded booths).  Give it a shot and maybe, just maybe, round 3 will be at your place.

5. AESTUS – Fri & Sat from 9PM-11PM.  Offering $4 beers, $6 well-cocktails and wines and $7 specialty cocktails along with $5 snacks; such as, grilled cheese, mini-burgers and fries on fries.  Post Bungalow, classed up a few notches from 800 degrees, may we suggest?  I mean most of us aren’t 21 anymore- it’s time to grow up… a little.

6. PIZZERIA MOZZA – Sun-Thurs from 10PM-12AM. They’re giving a pizza, a dessert and a glass of Bastianich wine all for $20, @ the bar only (but the bar is the most fun anyways).  It’s always pricey here, so this is the way to do it and still get that full-meal experience.

7. MARKET PROVISIONS – Sun-Thurs 9PM – close. Grab a seat at the bar for $1 oysters and reduced prices on their hits such as the MP Burger, Boquerones and Chicken Liver Toast. Wine & Beer only but you can’t argue with this location and convenience.

Best Of: Rainy Days.

Because Los Angeles is bi-polar these days and it’s 90 degrees on a Tuesday and rainy and cold (ok, cold for us) on a Wednesday; we put together our top 5 “BEST OF” indoor places to hang in this city.  Here are our FAV rainy-day spots where it’s not about the patio and sun, but about that dark and sexy scene behind closed doors:

  1. Tower Bar at The Sunset Tower Hotel –  Because they have a sundae menu rainywhere you can pick as many flavors, toppings and sauces as your heart desires and they have a damn good dirty martini to go along with it.  And you never know who you’ll see, but you’ll always see SOMEONE — we have drank near Katy Perry, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Seth McFarlane, to name a few.

 

 

rainy 22. The Woods –  Happy hour every day until 10PM and it’s cheap AF — need we say more? No, but we will: despite how unappealing it looks from the sketchy Hollywood strip mall outside, it’s actually really cool inside.

 

3. The Nice Guy –   There are endless reasons that this hotspot is our #1, but mostly because it’s basically Gigi Hadid’s second home and they have the BEST photo booth in town (maybe, even anywhere).  Oh, and pizza.

rainy 34. Soho House (Weho) –  Because you always want to go, you can’t always get in, but when you do you feel like one of the cool kids.  And the 360 degree windows make you feel like you’re outside anyways.

5. The Roosevelt – b/w Spare Room, Library Bar, Teddy’s and the Lobby, there are countless options and location changes without ever having to brave the outdoors. Oh, and the people watching is next level.

You can catch us at any of these spots not just on rainy days.  But if your plan tonight was EP/LP rooftop or Bungalow; you’re welcome for figuring out your plan B.

Always having your back,
