LA institution Canters deli has reached the height of hip with their decidedly downscale bar next door. Whats better than dill pickles and beer at one in the morning Tucked away among the convalescent homes and Israeli groceries in the Fairfax district, and across the street from the more mature, less tattooed crowd lining outside Largo, The Kibitz Room has been a part of the LA music scene since ...

Since the late '40s, this sprawling 24-hour deli has satisfied the cravings of rockers, fogies, yentas and insomniacs. With big, comfy booths and enjoyably surly waitresses, Canter's is an experience that has always been more social than gastronomic. Still, the pastrami is serviceable, the matzo ball soup filling and the potato latkes divine. The vintage coffee-shop decor, including lighted-tree-branch ...

This granddaddy of L.A. delicatessens (it opened in 1928) cures its own corned beef and pastrami and has an in-house bakery. It's not the best deli in town, but it's a true classic and open 24/7. Next door is the Kibitz Room, where there's live music every night. Reservations not accepted. MC, V.

Editorial Reviews from the web

In Short Conveniently attached to Canter's, the Kibitz Room is the perfect place to drink before or after you chow down. The music has expanded to include pop hits from subsequent decades. If you get there early enough, Eric the bartender will treat you to pictures of his son, but otherwise you might have to wait to get his attention. Bands hoping to follow in the footsteps of past Kibitz ...

The Scene This L.A. institution is a classic example of mid-century diner decor--replete with a kaleidoscopic, tree-patterned ceiling and flying saucer-like lamps. Open all night, the sprawling eatery is packed 24-7. After last call, it's loaded with barhoppers slurping away on hangover preventions, and by sun up, it's filled with noshing retirees. The Food The menu has ...

All hype, no good

This is my first and last time going to Canter's. After months of hearing how great it was my boyfriend and his mom and step dad decided to try it out after seeing some local comedy. The rye bread was fresh and my boyfriend's cappuccino was decent. Otherwise, the matzo ball soup was bland if not completely tasteless, as was the so called "pasta." Their deserts seemed well done, although we only tried ...

Late Night Only

I'm Jewish and the thought of good deli is always in my mind. However, I would not recommend this place except for late night...meaning it is good when options are limited late at night.
A $12 dollar roast beef sandwich
brought to you by
Citysearch
The sandwich was good but for twelve dollars I expect a little more than two pickles and a six to eight inch sandwich. It is a step up from Subway but is not anywhere near worth exchanging twelve dollars for a simple roast beef sandwich. Parking is difficult and traffic was a normal for LA. This is just another spot LA has artificially inflated.
