From daytori
Romantic restaurants
Low light, a good table, and nowhere to be afterwards.
Rooftop bars
Go up for sunset, come down for dinner.
Speakeasies
Dinner first, then the unmarked door.
Wine bars
A glass to start, a table around the corner.
Cocktail bars
A proper drink between dinner and dessert.
Live music venues
Eat early, catch the set, stay for one more.
Cozy restaurants
Small rooms, low light, and a nightcap nearby.
Special-occasion restaurants
For the anniversary, the birthday, the big news.

Dinner where the view does half the talking.
Dessert spots
Dinner nearby, then the good part.
Activities
Something to do first, then dinner to talk about it.
Arcades & games
Bowling, arcades and escape rooms, then dinner to settle the score.
From the community
A guide can cross cities — these are the ones with enough of Los Angeles in them.
One great drink
Loud rooms, cheap seats
Earliest seating
Home before the room fills up. I know how that sounds.
Rooftops worth the markup
Late and loud
Dressed for it
Rooftops and hotel bars. Someone has to read the whiskey list.
Eastside rooms worth the drive
Egg tarts and gelato
Booked six weeks out
Counters and steak rooms
Small rooms, songwriter nights
Nothing before 10pm
Last call and after
Late sets and patios that stay open. I skip dinner and I'm fine.
Small plates between drinks
Gallery night, quiet after
Stage first, dinner after
Museum nights, dinner first
No sign out front
On the water, not near it
Ten tables and a chalkboard
Two dinners in one night
The bakery list
Cheap and specific. I plan the night around dessert, not after it.
Sunset from the water
Nights with a scoreboard
