We chose The Edmon recently because we were in the area for a class. It was a great choice. The Edmon is a beautiful restaurant particularly if you're into old Hollywood. The service was excellent. We were greeted immediately and the waiter took our drink order promptly, provided water first. The food was also very good. We started with chips and guacamole, oysters. Both were excellent. Those were followed by duck confit tacos and the pasta dish. If I return I think I'll get that pasta, it was really terrific. Cocktails were also excellent. The ginger margarita was so good I'll duplicate it at home. In short can't wait to return. read more

Let's start with the oysters, 10/10 will refit recommend! I had a Porn Star Martini, about a 7/10. It was more lemony than I expected since I usually taste more passion fruit, but it was still yummy. The spot has a very grown and sexy vibe and I will be back. I came on a random night and the DJ played really good music. It's perfect for a girls night out or a nice intimate date. Our server was very attentive and everything ordered came out in a good amount of time. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with this restaurant for Valentines and he made a spectacular choice! Not only is the interior classy, beautiful, and warm, the patio is spacious and equally inviting with heat lamps and cushy booths. The servers were all incredible and very on top of their service, as I overheard our waitress switching between English and Spanish to the preference of each person at the table next to us. The menu is reasonably priced with great portion sizes, and everything was delicious. My boyfriend said this was one of if not the best burger he's ever had, we both agreed the peanuts were the star of the night!! My half chicken was savory and sumptuous, I can't wait to come back and try that gravy on the short rib poutine. The happy hour prices and options are phenomenal, and with their own parking lot in the back you can rest assured the Edmond has everything you're looking for and more. read more

This is a gorgeous bar located in the Hollywood Historic Hotel. (Like the word "authentic," I always raise an eyebrow when I see the word "historic" in any name.) The Edmon has a solid food and cocktail menu, including a few nice mocktail options. The charcuterie plate (which comes with both meats and cheeses) is very nice. It is worth ordering just to get the basket of crisps that comes with it. I could have eaten a thousand of them. While the decor is very upscale, this being Southern California, you will see customers dressed in all manner of clothes, from cheap printed t-shirts to more upscale cocktail attire. Also, sports fans may be disappointed to learn there are no televisions in this bar. There is plenty of freeeee valet parking in the lot behind the historic hotel so you have no excuse for not visiting. This is a great-looking, comfortable bar for cocktails and munchies. read more

The space alone makes it a worth stop. We were looking for a spot before a show at the pantages and were glad we found this place. Happy hour is from 4-7 do arriving at 5:30 gave us plenty of good options. Oysters were fresh with two sauces, duck confit tacos were flavorful and the nachos had a hint of what tasted like mole. We weren't done so we went for the short rib poutine - gooey and delicious. Old fashioned and glass of Grenache complimented the meal. Staff was attentive and we can't wait to return. read more

First time at The Edmon! Went for light snack and a drink. Walking distance from Paramount Studios. The food was delicious. We also had the Carne Asada fries. Great ambience for late dinner or drinks. read more

This is one of the cutest places for a night cap. Reminds me of a cafe in Paris with late night drinks and small bites. Every time I've come here I've enjoyed myself and the ambience. The lighting and the decor are very sophisticated and the food matches the vibe. I recommend for drinks and lite bits for a cozy, memorable evening. read more

Finally had a chance to stop by after a long long anticipated first visit but did not disappoint!! What a hidden gem and absolutely stunning and beautiful venue!! Humongous bar with plenty of table seating plus outside patios plus rear parking!!! Live dj spinning disco most of night. Staff were friendly and accommodating but bartender was super funny cool and made me an amazing white Mezcal Negroni....Delicious!!! Vibe was a little strange and lighting...? Maybe a little too bright but definitely would comeback. Also keep in mind they close early here....I think 11pm or midnight? read more

Who knew this lovely little hotel and its cozy dining and bar space was tucked away on Melrose ? I did not eat here, but we enjoyed a few very well made cocktails. Our barkeep was quick and skilled. I loved the decor which channeled speakeasy comes to old Hollywood. And huge bonus- they have their own parking lot!!! (Although I suspect it fills up quickly). read more

This review is specifically for the bartender Francois. I ordered and tried to give him my card. He told me don't worry about it, I just owe him a beer. Asked him if I owed anything after sitting at the bar for a while. I brought it up as I thought it was unusual, and he acted surprised. I'm glad I didn't leave without mentioning it, as I was prepared to just leave a tip. He said he'd cash me out. I have no issue paying for myself, but what is he trying to pull? I get that they're working for tips, and I'm not naive, but I wasn't born yesterday. This experience alone makes me not want to stay at the hotel again. read more

Excellent stop. Had a concert trip to the Wiltern so we popped in for a few drinks and apps. Great call. Parking was free and plentiful. The bar was gorgeous and the food was delicious. We had the $9 happy hour everyday Old Fashioned's. Perfect pours and paired it with some asada fries and Caesar salad. Now wish this place was closer to me. The bartenders were friendly and provided excellent service. Stop by for Happy Hour any day. read more

It is quite hard to miss the rich architecture of the building where The Edmon is. When you step in, it gives the Great Gatsby vibes. Art deco with geometric shapes and lines upon entering thru its doors, plush velvet soft seating at the tables, sleek and sophsticated bar area with soft lighting and great music. This place is perfect for after work drinks or a night on the town. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Frenchie. He was cool energy, singing and dancing as he served up some great drinks. We ordered their Spot light cocktail which was gin based (this cocktail changes each time) and old fashioned. Both were delicious. We also ordered short rib barbacoa nachos which were perfect to share. Overall a great place to check out. Their happy hour is from 4pm - 7pm, reasonable expected cost based on location and parking was easy and convenient. I didn't check out their outdoor area but would be great to go back once weather gets better. read more

Food was so much better than I anticipated!! We sat outside and ordered their peanuts and truffle fries. Large portions.

We had an amazing time at this place. The vibes were right, the patio was amazing. We had Vivian as the waitress and she was amazing! So kind and attentive. The food was incredible and a good time was had. I would highly recommend The Edmon! For a date night or a friend outing, you won't be disappointed! read more

Great ambiance and service! We loved the various drink selection. Great date night location. The bartenders were helpful and fun. read more

What a cool little spot! Came here before heading to the Pantages (which is only 2 miles away, great for getting a bite to eat or cocktail). They have a nice happy hour selection, from cocktails, beer and wine and shareable appetizers. Frenchie, our bartender was very helpful and when he stepped away, any of the other staff were happy to assist. He was also singing and dancing, which makes sense because their playlist was incredible. I had to SoundHound some songs for my own playlist. The food was delicious, we almost ended up ordering another plate of short rib nachos because they were so good! Topped with avocado and a side of green salsa, each nacho was full of flavor. I haven't seen any Downtown Brown on Draft anywhere, so I had to get it. They said they don't always carry it, so I was pleasantly surprised. We also tried their "Spotlight Cocktail" which changes from time to time. This time it was a Gin and Apricot concoction and I'd recommend it but I'm not sure if it'll be there when you go. But I always like trying things that aren't on the menu or seasonal just for an experience that I might have missed otherwise. We went on a Friday night and there were plenty tables but I recommend going to the bar since you get a good view of the place and can have interesting conversations with the bartenders and/or your neighbor. read more

I'm staying at the hotel where this restaurant/bar is located and had been coming here every night for the past three days for drinks and food with a friend. On our third night, we decided to sit on the outdoor patio. Unfortunately, no one checked on us at all. Since we are hotel guests and the patio is always open, we brought a bottle of wine with us and asked the manager for a wine key. Instead of addressing us directly, the manager immediately sent a waitress to inform us of a corkage fee, which was initially stated as $20. We were fine with that. A few minutes later, she came back to say the fee was actually $30. This felt extremely disrespectful, especially considering we had been loyal customers for several days in a row, consistently ordering and tipping well. Regardless of how busy (or not busy) the night is, it's not acceptable to change fees on the spot just to make numbers look better. I also work in the hospitality industry, and over the course of these days, I noticed the manager never once checked on tables -- only standing around observing. Overall, the experience left a very bad impression! read more

$9 Cocktails for their happy hour that ends at 7PM is the way to go. But the "happy hour food" was still inflated hotel prices. We had to get 4 items averaging 14 each for two people to get full and that quickly added up because of how small the portions were. Starting with the cheese croquettes (14) you get.. three ONE bite balls with solid flavor. I was looking under my plate for the rest. The Duck Tacos (14) also come in threes and could be finished in two bites. Skip this. Dry and flavorless. The shrimp tacos (15) were much better than the duck tacos. Also comes in three and flavorful. Tiniest tacos Ive seen. I think street tacos are larger and for $1.75. Chorizo Sliders (14) were forgettable. Not great. The patio is giving converted parking lot pandemic. They tried with shrubbery and plants. Cute enough, but clearly a parking lot. It's a richer vibe inside and for what you're paying, it's best to stay there. I'd come back for the happy hour. Just to drink and catch up with someone for under $10. Drinks were tasty. The tease knees was a bit sour, but still good and very light on the liquor. read more

The Edmon - Croquettes (14) you get three tiny balls - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Everyone here is incredibly nice! The decor is beautiful, the food and drinks are fantastic and it's a great vibe overall. Highly recommend.

Cool 1920s Art Deco space with a great happy hour! We decided to stop in here after having dinner a couple blocks away at Kuya Lord. Traffic getting back home looked terrible, and this seemed like the perfect place to grab a drink at to pass some time and wait it out. Opened in 2016, I believe this establishment is located on the first floor of the Hollywood Historic Hotel (est. 1927). While our time here was short and we didn't get to try any of their food, we enjoyed a quick round of drinks. With $8.50 glasses of wine, $5.50 pints of beer, and other specials during happy hour, The Edmon is certainly worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

The Edmon is my go-to spot for when I want to pretend I'm living my best L.A. life without having to leave my neighborhood. The patio out back is perfect for happy hour -- it's low key, not too loud, and has a vibe that says, "I'm here to have a drink, but I'm not trying to make life-changing decisions tonight." Plus, it's close enough that I can roll over without a long Uber ride or finding parking, so bonus points for that. Let's talk about the duck confit tacos. I don't know who's in charge of these, but they deserve a raise. The combo of crispy duck and whatever sauce magic they're using is a game-changer. I'd eat these every day if I didn't care about my cholesterol. Pro tip: Get an Old Fashioned to go with it. It's the right amount of strong without turning your night into a "why did I drink that?" situation. The service? Top notch. Our waitress was the kind of friendly that makes you wonder if she secretly remembers your name from the last time you were here. And if you're into people-watching, you'll notice plenty of regulars here. It's the kind of place where you feel like you could become a regular... and I absolutely will be as summer rolls in. Definitely will be back more often to soak up the sun and, let's be real, the tacos. read more

The ambience is excellent. I had a terrible date here, but it wasn't the restaurant's fault that the guy was so boring. And the food was good enough that didn't leave him at the table and run home crying about the state of masculinity in America. read more

Cute little restaurant part of the hotel, gives a little great gatsby vibe with the interior, and they have free parking!! Food was pretty good, the duck tacos were delicious, a little pricey for the small size so it's def a splurge. House burger and garlic fries were pretty decent too but nothing crazy. The only downside is that the place doesn't have great sound dampening so it's pretty loud inside and have to speak up to talk. Waiters were nice, came to check up every now and then, very straightforward. It's a perfect place for either casual or dress up night. read more

I love what they have done with this elegant art deco treasure, The Edmon. Mind you, I remember when they sold elegant fireplace mantels here!! So to see the next gen of this family establishment give a nod to the past in the main bar and kitchen area, as they provide a beautiful indoor environment, as well as an outdoor space that is sheltered from the main traffic noise, is so so welcoming. They have a happy hour until 7pm- - a rare treat to get there after work without the rush. They have late night hours too, and live music! There are creative food items with more than token options for vegans and vegetarians. Thank you! Plenty for the carnivores, too. And the drinks were always delicious beyond expectations compared to the descriptions. Our servers have been very attentive, so very grateful for our overall experiences!! read more

Modern, flavorful fare in a beautifully Art Deco-themed dining hall. This place is walk-ins only, and when we arrived on a Monday evening the place was bustlingly busy, yet we were promptly greeted by friendly & hospitable staff. The setting is moody with old-school glamour, but the vibe is more of a relaxed, casual bistro. We ordered a variety of happy hour cocktails per our server's recommendations, and several dishes from the Happy Hour and main menu - savory duck confit tacos, tender calamari, melty short rib poutine, housemade cavatelli with pull-apart braised short rib (pleasantly spicy), my partner had "the best" burger he'd had in years - everything was a hit. My group's only complaint is that the music volume made it difficult to hold conversations. (Maybe we're just aging, but it felt a touch too loud - causing us and the surrounding tables to have to compete to talk over it. Would otherwise be a lovely date spot). Still excited to come back and get basically everything on the menu! read more

Ambiance is nice. I love the high ceiling. The cocktails were okay at best, which was odd considering how many nice liqueurs they have on the shelf. We tried the Cucumber Daiquiri on the happy hour, which had a strange aftertaste. I couldn't tell if it was a poor quality cucumber spirit or muddled cucumber that was too ripe. Lets talk about the service. Our bartender never gave us their name and then proceeded to stand in front of us with their arms crossed out of sheer boredom. It seemed like she was more interested in being security at an Amazon warehouse than bartending. Talk to your guests. This is how you make money. Either that or look busy. Find a task. Wipe down a bottle over and over. Another bartender showed up and was chatting with guests. He only came over to compliment my dates outfit when I went to the bathroom. As soon as I came back, he disappeared. lol. I don't even mind. We were laughing about it, but damn. read more

The food is delicious. The ambiance is Great Gatsby and art deco. We ordered the fried peanuts, poutine, and House burger. Everything was great.

GREAT happy hour, M-F 4-7! With a free parking lot in the back, it couldn't have been a more stress free decision to come here. The bar is unique and classy. I got the Tea's Knees which was a wonderful riff off of a bees knees. My boyfriends old fashioned was tasty, but no cherry. The food was yummy but portions are very small. I didn't take a picture of the charcuterie platter but everything was sliced micro thin you could practically see through it. Service was a little slow, we didn't see our waitress for almost an hour at one point. Still a great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy craft cocktails. read more

Lovely establishment with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Bonus for complimentary valet parking behind the building! I made it in time for happy hour (4-7pm) and shared the charcuterie, short rib barbacoa nachos, and fried calamari. The tea's knees cocktail was refreshing and food was decent too. FYI they have a limited wine menu. Overall, I'd be happy to come back here again. I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the staff were all welcoming as well. read more
