"Formosa Cafe is one of the most legendary bars in the city, but it’s no secret that this West Hollywood spot had fallen on hard times in recent years. Good news - after a multi-year renovation that saw the return of its historic design and character, Formosa is back and better than ever. The drinks are a mix of tiki-inspired cocktails and old classics like the Scotch-heavy Blood and Sand, and the bar bites are way better than they need to be (get the chile wontons). If you’re town looking for that Old Hollywood feel in a space that’s actually filled with people who live in Hollywood, head to Formosa." - brant cox
