    Their wine selection is great and they will allow small tries of the varietals. The quinoa and summer squash lima bean dish, along with their salted cod croquets are delicious!

    I enjoy coming here early afternoon, grabbing a beer and sitting outside on the street. I always have a good meal here. Which is to be expected from the team that brought LA The Village Idiot.

    OMG the food here is solid. Half a fried chicken, mashed potatoes, braised greens, and cole slaw for $17 on Tuesdays. I don't know if that's really a great deal but it tastes like it.

    Two years before the Stonewall riots, The Black Cat was raided by police. This protest eventually led to two of the patrons starting one of the largest LGBT magazines, The Advocate!

    Great selection of mule drinks made with fresh ginger. Try the three legged mule.

    Two years before Stonewall, The Black Cat was raided by police. Two patrons were so enraged they began The Advocate, a publication for the gay population of LA and the largest LGBT magazine.

    A Walker: many say the gay rights movement began in 1966. Get dressed up and go, so you can meet the bartenders. twist on a Manhattan called the Red Hook

    I went on a blind date here once. It was only blind because I had been too drunk to remember what the guy looked like when he asked me out. Ended up being a pleasant evening.
