Father's Office
"I'll be at the office late!"
"Father's Office" in Los Angeles is an upscale gastropub with 'bar food' prepared by acclaimed chef San Yoon. The vegatarian in me is in for a treat here!

Short Stop
Dance dance bar!
"Short Stop" in Los Angeles I go to for its full bar, nightly dj sets, dancing, photo booth and billiards! Oh, and happy hours until 22:00!

The Grove
Family nights for the neighborhood
"The Grove" added upscale shopping and a movie theatre in Holywood, Los Angeles. I love going to the Apple Store and looking at the devices I can't afford!

Perch
Secret rooftop bar
"Perch" is probably the worst-kept secret in Los Angeles. But even though it's become so popular, its rooftop bar with the skyline view is still worth it!

Biltmore Hotel
An enchanting classic
"Biltmore Hotel" is one of the most beautiful buildings in Los Angeles. It used to host the Oscars in the '30s, and even has some ghost stories of its own!

Big Bar
Themed cocktails & a special secret
"Big Bar" Los Angeles is actually a small bar, but what makes me come back is their movie nights & special themed cocktails, and their secret notes table.
