Good bar / restaurant for groups?

[u/a_zan]

Hi all,

Even the AI bots couldn’t answer this one. Do you maybe know the perfect place to host a birthday party that fits the following criteria:

• Between Arts District and Beverly Grove, North of the 10 and south of the Hollywood Hills.

• Offers casual counter service, where people go up to counter to order individually.

• Bonus points if it has some sort of vegan option beyond fries or a side salad

• Can accommodate 20-30 people without a prix fixe menu

Any recommendations?

Leave your recommendations below! Let’s hope humans can beat the bots 😭

More a bar than a restaurant but All Season Brewing on La Brea allows group space reservations (20-30 is a lot so not sure if they cap) as long as you go through their site and email them and get confirmation. They also only do tabs at the bar (no wait staff) so everyone can come and go freely on their own tab. It's a full liquor bar as well as beer and wine and the Chicas tacos inside is entirely separate pay as you order counter and offers vegan and vegetarian options on their menu. Parking isn't great (valet or the Lassen's garage but that can get expensive) but ride share is super easy. It is a concrete building so it does get loud with chatter and music when busy.

Also Arts District Brewing is run by the same company and they have a full bar and a counter order restaurant (not sure about vegan or vegetarian options). I can't speak to the reservation or planning specifics as I haven't been there for a group event I was part of organizing but imagine their website can answer.
