Fun Microbrewery
Gordon Biersh is a good restaurant but a great microbrewery. The food is definitely good enough for a party, special occasion, or working lunch, but the beer really shines. You can't miss the vats on the way in, so you can look at your beer's voyage to your glass. There is a large bar and an outside deck, but they are usually very full, particularly on Fridays, when the work crowd comes. Valet parking is around the corner on Angeleno and there are some spots for street parking, but they fill up quickly.
