3 Best Bars in Studio City, Los Angeles

Baked Potato might be a strange name to give a world-famous jazz club that’s been holding performances of well-known acts (Allan Holdsworth and Michael Landau) under its roof since the '70s, but it only takes a quick peek at the menu to understand. Twenty-four different types of baked potatoes dominate its otherwise short menu, each of which come with sour cream, butter, and salad to offset all that carb intake.

With bangers and mash, fish-and-chips, and shepherd’s pie rolling out of the kitchen and 16 imported draft beers being poured into glasses, this pub is as British as it can get---even if football matches share screen time with the NFL and NBA.

A speakeasy cocktail lounge seems a little out of place in Studio City, especially on a middle-of-the-road commercial strip paved with quaint boutique stores, but the Rendition Room makes it work. It’s a member’s club with pretty laid-back rules about letting nonmembers in—so long as there’s room, of course. Even as a tourist, you, too, can sample the Rendition's exciting cocktails, crafted by talented mixologists.
