Brentwood-Westwood, Los Angeles · bar
A cobblestone bridge past swan-dotted gardens leads you here, and the Art Deco interior — Norman Seeff's photographs of Cher, Tina Turner, and Steve Jobs hanging raw and unguarded on the walls — makes it feel less hotel bar and more private canyon estate. The house 'Coldest Martini in Town' arrives tableside with ceremony, the fireplace burns year-round, and live piano runs Sunday through Thursday while Los Angeles pretends the golden age never ended.
