Burbank, Los Angeles · bar
Bookshelves, leather armchairs, and cocktails with names like “Tequila Mockingbird” that lean fully into the literary bit without a trace of embarrassment. Board games cover the tables, karaoke pulls in Valley regulars deep into the night, and the bar food—crispy Brussels sprouts, rye bread pudding—ends up better than anyone expects from a place this committed to the theme.
