LA Restaurants That Are Perfect For Walk-Ins

"For reasons you probably already know about, reservations at Horses are easier to come by than they used to be. But the truth is you never needed one in the first place. Show up to this sceney American restaurant in Hollywood around 9pm, and there's a likely chance you'll snag a seat at the bar. Not only do the bartenders make a fantastic martini, but they double as full-fledged hosts who actually want to hang out with you. There’s no awkwardness or feeling that you’re taking up precious bar space. These bartenders bring the fun chit-chat, ask you if you need a fresh bottle of Heinz with your fries, and keep the drinks coming until they close up at 1am. Forget post-dinner drinks, this is a bar to spend the night at." - nikko duren, sylvio martins, brant cox
