"There are certain things that probably come to mind when you hear the term dive bar—dated wood paneling on the walls, old chipped-up swivel stools, crusty locals, and cheap drinks. Oy Bar in Studio City has all those things, but it also has a bar food menu that’s worth braving rush hour on the 101 to eat. The house burger, topped with Toma cheese, hoisin ketchup, and a heap of cilantro, is a massive standout, but don’t skip the gooey pastrami quesadilla and matzo ball ramen during the winter months.
