Performing Arts Venue · 161 tips and reviews
Crystal Warner: The Magic Castle has reciprocal agreements with a variety of private clubs around the world.
Jennifer: Just in case the magic made you ravenous, you can order from the full menu at any bar in the Castle.
SENSE Magazine: The Magic Castle has a long and colorful history, but only invited guests may enter. It is one of the last great hold outs for style, class, and grace in an otherwise dance club filled Hollywood.
Peter Kooiman: Pony rides, bouncy castle, inflatable slide, climbing wall, zephyr, and a train
Angelica McD: GREAT for kids! Ride the train, enjoy the bouncy castle, visit the pet zoo and more. Fantastic weekend family activity.
Andrew Glazkov: Always great choice of fresh vegetables, fruits and even seafood, but most of all its a neighborhood gathering to support local food producers.
Oksana Lysenko: Amazing blt and their fries are delicious! Go on a sunny day and enjoy the chill ambiance.
People: Lunch is a don't-miss scene, but by dinner the star-filled patio is pretty exclusive. Tip: Neighboring Bar Marmont is more low-key, but still will give you that classic Hollywood experience.
Adrian Garcia: The lounge is really nice and have brunch or lunch on the patio! Amazing!

Estella Ramirez: Recommend the crab-style-cake and pumpkin castle. Super nice people. The food is simple, elegant, and delicious.
Kristin Olson: Very cute. Would be a great date place: quiet, intimate, nice jazz, great service. The prices were what I would have expected.
Gianni Love: Exclusively gluten-free (unlike the downtown LA location). I don't know why people are upset about prices - they're pretty reasonable for the amount of effort required to make these exquisite dishes.

Los Angeles Times: Open from 10 a.m. every day, the Kibitz Room is a great place for a morning brew and a big bowl of matzo ball soup (ask for two spoons to make the meal romantic and cheap). Read more.
Where Los Angeles Magazine: 80-year-old Canter’s Deli, the Kibitz Room—the divey-est, strangest little club and bar in town. It has a history with rock ‘n’ roll royalty: The Doors & Frank Zappa kibbitzed and jammed here. Read more.
Hesh Meister: Tuesday night jams with the FOCKRs. You might even catch me sitting in on the Hammond organ from time to time.
