“The art-forward eatery in downtown Los Angeles may be best described as a balancing act. The spicy margarita packs a punch of heat from Serrano chiles, but is balanced by the cool of cucumber. The outdoor seating is somehow both tree-lined and unmistakably urban, and weekend brunch can wind people up, but the Sunday night jazz performances are a good way to ease into the workweek. While the bar is known for art installations on its walls, happy hour here is also a quick walk from the downtown arena, so you can pair art appreciation with a basketball or hockey game.”
