A guide to great places near Hotel Californian

  1. Lucky Penny

    If you're not paying attention, you might miss this nestled in the parking lot of The Lark. Not a ton of seating but it's high quality.

    Great hidden wine and beer bar behind the lark. The owners are great, one being a master sommelier. They know what they are doing and it's a great place for a date or business drink.

  5. Test Pilot

    The Test Pilot and the Hotel National are great and just the right mix of flavors still holding to the traditional Cuban prohibition era cocktails. They have the Sea Wolf area which is in cosy.
