Drinks & Nightlife
The York
5018 York Blvd
Verdugo Bar
3408 Verdugo RdHole-in-the-wall, outdoor beer-garden-style seating area
This is a restaurant and bar located on the top floor of a tall building downtown. You must take several elevators to get to the top, and it is crowded on the weekends. But the views are absolutely amazing. In the basement of the same building is a nightclub called "Mrs. Fish" with large colorful fish tanks.
