BAR REVIEW: Fellow (Westwood Village)

By Don Rose

-

Fellow (on Glendon in the heart of Westwood Village) is a hot restaurant, based on the buzz we've been hearing (and reading) for some time. But you may not know that they have an excellent bar as well. I had the pleasure of spending a few minutes there tonight (not a planned visit, but rather an impromptu pop-in), and quite enjoyed it. Fellow’s founder and owner Philip greeted me as I peeked in and was extremely warm and welcoming. The bartender Will was great as well -- friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to watch as he made a number of drinks before my eyes -- including the one I tried, a cool concoction based around Bourbon Cream (a relative of Irish Cream, one of my favorite libations). A creamy, delicious delight!

I highly recommend you come by and try out Fellow’s bar, because based on my interactions with Philip and Will, I know you will enjoy the experience. And by the way, I love the names of the drinks on the menu (sense of humor scores big points with us here at LA Newsline) -- just check out these creative names for starters: "You Had Me at Fellow", "Buzz Lively", "Zero Fashioned" (all from their "No A.B.V." section of the beverage menu), and the one I am most curious about, “MIAMI VICE MILK PUNCH” (the menu leaves the ingredients a mystery, encouraging you to ask if you don’t know what it is --- next time I will!). They have a solid assortment of beverages and even a “For Two” libation section. Which leads me to another point: Fellow is a perfect place for a date --- subdued lighting, calm relaxed atmosphere, and even heat lamps if you choose to dine al fresco (they have a few tables in front of the restaurant).

I look forward to going back soon and experiencing the bar again (tonight was just a very quick first visit), as well as finally experiencing Fellow’s food, which has received raves (Eater LA, for example, gave their burger an outstanding rating, and I can’t wait to see if I agree; I have a feeling this fellow will).

Underground Bar: Mrs. Fish

Looking for a cool, classy, underground bar, that makes you feel like you’re… underwater? Well, head to downtown Los Angeles for a basement bar with live music, delicious craft cocktails with a unique decorum.

Mrs. Fish is located in downtown Los Angeles in the basement of the historic Pershing Square Building. The suspended aquarium is nothing like you’ve seen before, not in a bar at least. Once you walk down the stairs you are submerged into an ocean nightlife with a full bar and plush couches. The live jazz music plays until late in the night and then they switch it up to the DJ.

Weilands Little Tokyo

How does no one know about Weilands Little Tokyo? Went there last night for a friend's birthday and less than half the people even knew the place existed. It's seriously one of the best late night happy hours in town with $3 house drafts and $2-$5 appetizers all night after 10pm. (Even on weekends!) It used to be so hot 3 or 4 years ago but everyone seems to have forgotten about it. It's still the same place people! Show them a little love and drink some of the cheapest beers you'll find in LA on a Saturday night. http://www.weilandbrewery.net/WBR/
