http://www.4playclub.com 4 Play Gentleman's Club in West Los Angeles is a far cry from the cattle-call strip clubs of Las Vegas. The long, tall room features silky red drapes, curvy overstuffed chairs that wrap the three-quarter stage, and a run of button-back booths that encourage more lingering than leering. There's no alcohol at 4 Play, which also means no clothes for the dancers and no drunken riff raff to deal with as the night winds down. Minus the obvious brass pole and sometimes screeching choice of dance music, 4 Play might almost start to feel like an upscale after-dinner lounge where the beautiful waitstaff just happens to be exceptionally friendly -- and naked. There's still a one-drink minimum (read: $7 waters) and you'll have to print off a slightly unclassy coupon to get in free before 9 p.m., but with a sharp outfit and a fat wallet, 4 Play Gentleman's Club can make for a pretty enticing night out.

http://www.toscanabrentwood.com In this age of cocktails and mixology, it's refreshing to slip into Toscana in Brentwood. The dinner space at this Italian restaurant is airy and bright, with crisp white tablecloths holding up dish after dish of al dente pastas and simple tomato sauces. But the bar at Toscana is a decidedly different take, with long communal tables and sturdy barstools. Couples can find themselves slipping comfortably into a $100 bottle of Italian wine by candlelight, while after-dinner drinkers can sip pleasantly on the Monte Bianco, a lemon sorbet blended with Ketel One, prosecco, a touch of elderflower liqueur and a dusting of ground coffee.

http://www.baranrestaurant.com Does every big restaurant in the kebab-intensive blocks of Westwood’s “Tehrangeles” have the same menu? Is there a zoning ordinance that mandates barg kebabs and the insanely sour pickles called torshi, skewered chicken and the thick soup ash, alps of basmati rice and arm-long cylinders of the grilled ground-beef koobideh? Baran, perhaps the sleekest of the neighborhood’s palaces, may be tricked out like the swankiest restaurant in Qom, all burnished copper and gleaming varnish and spotlight examples of Persian calligraphy, but it too is a redoubt of lamb kebabs and beef kebabs and chicken kebabs; grilled lamb chops that rank with the sweetest, tenderest lamb in town; and tah dig, toasted rice crusts, topped with seriously tart stewed greens. If you are a fan of polos, like the gigantic, elaborate, saffron-gilded rice dishes associated with Iranian holidays, or the zereshk polo, made with barberries, which is formidable, and the polo made with sour cherries like a scoop of Baskin-Robbins cherry vanilla ice cream brought to screaming, savory life, then you will be very happy with the standard.

http://www.cafe-brasil.com This authentic Brazilian restaurant and cafe is shrouded in leafy green foliage and decorated with bright colors, with an adjoining airy patio. It's part of Culver City's Brazilian-style neighborhood and now includes a sister location on Washington Boulevard in West Los Angeles. Both locations are veritable hot spots for Brazilian culture, sports and music. Mostly, you'll find grilled animals at Cafe Brasil: pork chops, lamb chops, steak, shrimp and fish, all profoundly salty and resonant with garlic, charred at the edges, fragrant with citrus and a little overcooked. With all this protein come truckloads of rice glistening with oil, sweet fried plantains and spicy black beans. Cafe Brasil also serves wonderful feijoada on weekends, less offal-intensive than some versions but meat-fragrant in the best possible way. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

http://www.craftrestaurant.com When chef Tom Colicchio's original Craft opened in Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood, it was a fantasy restaurant, a place where customers were invited to construct their meals from scratch, or rather from gleaming copper pots of prepared meats, sauces, starches and vegetables all ordered à la carte. At Craft in Century City, in a handsome neo-Neutra space a few yards from both ICM and CAA, it is a veritable festival of à la carte à gogo: high-quality slabs of wagyu beef, local, seasonal sea bass wrapped in, roast Heritage pork laminated with sorrel leaves and braised Alaskan sablefish that you are invited to pair with sautéed long beans or baby turnips, creamed Tuscan kale or smoky, beautifully roasted wild mushrooms, braised peewee potatoes or squash risotto. By the time you have crowded your table with all the side dishes you want to taste and ordered a modest wine, you have probably spent $100 a person - and bumped into the likes of James Caan, S. Irene Virbila, Suzanne Tracht and Mayor Villaraigosa, to name just a few of the people crowded into the restaurant on a Thursday night. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.fathersoffice.com The second Father's Office is undeniably pleasant, a gastronomically inclined bar fitted into the eastern flank of the old Helms Bakery building, crowded with people who know the difference between a lager and a double IPA, flat screens discreetly flashing football scores in the corners, and long, lacquered-wood picnic tables stretching into the distance on the heated, vaguely nautical patio outside. You could spend a long Friday afternoon here, snacking on Spanish cheeses, glistening Spanish anchovies cured on the premises and dusted with lemon zest, and cumin-crusted skewers of lamb, which collapse in your mouth like a sigh. Chef-owner Sang Yoon is more or less the Los Angeles equivalent of David Chang, whose Ko in New York City sells out each day's seating in less time than it takes to crack an egg, and Yoon could probably get away with serving his goat-cheese gratinée in telephone booths if he felt like it. As at the Santa Monica original, no reservations are taken, even if you happen to be Barack Obama or Paul Bocuse; no minors are allowed, and when you get to the restaurant, you may well spend the better part of an hour waiting outside on line. Creator of the most-imitated Los Angeles dish since Nancy Silverton reinvented an obscure Piedmontese dessert called panna cotta, Yoon is the baron of the new-style cheeseburger: dry-aged beef cooked exceptionally rare, dressed with onions cooked down to the sweetness of maple syrup, Gruyère and Maytag blue cheeses, smoky bacon, arugula and a tomato compote, all on a French roll. Is it worth the battle for a seat? The more Unibroue you drink, the easier the combat becomes. See full review. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.freddysmalls.com There are indulgent comfort plates, like the Reuben's Gluttony with bone marrow and "Yorkie" pudding, or the Flash-Grilled Steak Tartare topped with a smoked egg yolk. And while excellent options, most of these meaty dishes aren't the most interesting ones on the menu, even for the particularly carnivorous. No, the interest lies principally in the vegetable plates, which channels the ethos of seasonability into bar food fare. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
