Tuesday, October 6, 2026, 2:00 AM - 5:00 AM · The Wilkes Brentwood, Brentwood-Westwood, Los Angeles
The Wilkes Brentwood launches Mahj Mondays on October 5th with the season's first mahjong games. Bring your own set or join a table while sipping a martini in the lounge.
Wilkes occupies a beautifully preserved 1954 Streamline Moderne space, complete with a Rossi marble bar, leather booths, and a fireplace that gives the room a sense of history newer restaurants spend years trying to manufacture. The Steakhouse Manhattan is bacon-infused, the chicken schnitzel comes wrapped in a latke crust, and the wine program spotlights a different winemaker each season. Start with the molasses bread and salted date butter, then take your time deciding the rest.
