Small but mighty
This small storefront restaurant has excellent nightly dinner specials. I've had very good tomato soup here as well as fish dishes. they also have a nice selection of wines by the glass. It's a fun place to eat of you are seeing a film at the Arclight. It can get very crowded as the night wears on.
Romantic Restaurant/Bar
The Bowery is a small restaurant with a bar. The chairs and tables are tighly packed next to each other. Primarily, this is a bar, but there is a small fantastic menu that changes frequently. If you go to the Arclight Hollywood, consider getting a drink or dinner at the Bowery. It's dark and romantic there--bad for kids.
Business Description from the Web
It’s hard to say whether you are in NYC or LA once you enter this hot-spot on Sunset Boulevard. A typical French bistro-style ambiance, French-American cuisine, a colossal wine list and a good time are what the Bowery promises. Soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches appear on the menu, and the place is filled with locals and tourists who come here after their site-seeing sessions. The prices...

This dark but shiny spot, covered in black and white tile, isnt just the kind of hip New York-ish spot where a mysterious old man in a full-on kilt getup might sit down at the next table. Its the kind of hip New York-ish spot where, when it happens, no one bats an eye. First-time restauranteur George Abou-Daoud makes it all look rather simple. The compact but stylish spacewith a dominant bar,...

New York-style neighborhood joint along the emerging strip next to Magnolia.
Tips About This Business
After 6pm, metered parking along Sunset and up Argyle is a fairly easy alternative to the valet in front of building. There are also a handful of spots in the small lot in back.
The house specialty cocktail is a "white-cosmo-style martini," but don't overlook the small-but-well-thought-out wine and beer lists.
The kitchen closes at midnight--the only thing available afterward is the cheese and charcuterie plate, which features a nice selection of small-production products.
Editorial Reviews from the web
In Short Located just east of Sunset + Vine, this smartly styled brasserie-cum-saloon--sister restaurant to pizzeria/bar Delancey--infuses the area with another dose of Lower-Manhattan attitude and design. Under a pounded tin ceiling, wall-mounted loveseats and floor-to-ceiling black-tiled walls, hungry singles, Arclight moviegoers and hipsters graze on gussied-up pub grub. The menu...

Noo Yawk nostalgia at solid gastro pub for anyone who has ever ridden the rails, dreamed of old Dodger Stadium, puked Pabst, or mugged an old lady. Charming staff acts very un-Bowery. In-shape flirters who study David Thompson and bypass the Rainbow for the Arclight soak it in. Plates of sweet 'tater fries stand out among steakhouse bar eats and salads proving that French-US marriages heal old...

My friend and I came here for a drink while we waited for a table at the restaurant next door. The bartender was so nice and talked to us for a while. The place seemed pretty busy. The lady next to us said the food was great, so we promised the bartender we'd come back. But the best part...they had PBR! Any place that has PBR wins an extra point from me!! It was the water of the gods at my...

i love this place. its just so fun. It is a tiny little place, but it just makes the atmosphere even better. Everyone in there is real... no pretension. just people wanting to have a good night out.
Went with a friend before hitting the Hotel Cafe-- Great little places that has the NYC vibe down pat.
Great wine list and had a terrific prosecco for the same price as a chardonnay. Service was attentive but not overwhelming.
food was amazing: steamed mussels was plenty to share -- (fries, bread). had the corn/crab fritters which were ok.... not mind blowing and the jalapeno remoulade...
