A lovely prohibition style bar hidden inside the back of Cole's Restaurant. The door looks normal, so just ask the host if you're not sure where to go.

Food Scene
Great restaurant right across the street. You have to try the bone marrow appetizer. I think i'd classify the cuisine as gourmet comfort food.

The Baco Mercat sandwich is the signature dish. It comes in a few different varieties, I'd go with the original (carnitas) or the Toron (ox tail).

Panini Kabob Grill - Downtown LA

I usually opt for the burger at the bar, since I never make reservations to get a table. As far as chain steakhouses are concerned, Morton's is a strong option.
