For a taste of old-school Hollywood, order one of the A-list martinis at Pinot Hollywood Martini Bar outside Sunset Gower Studios. Here lies a dimly lit haunt that will not disappoint. You’re sure to catch old men caressing young ladies and old ladies caressing young martinis in this “very Hollywood” joint. I can’t speak for the food, as I didn’t get that far, but their lounge was the perfect place to sit and dish with some classy lady friends of mine. If drinking works up your appetite however, you should know that Gourmet magazine named Pinot Hollywood “Star Among Newcomers” and it maintains a solid clientele for its Parisian Brasserie concept menu.
They serve food late-nights too, so it’s a great place to bring your munchies as you end your evening out.
