True to the spirit of the event, which is intended to showcase the diverse culinary offerings and mixology culture in West Hollywood, the list of participating businesses is varied and filled with spots that pride themselves on originality.
"You can get great sense of a city's identity by exploring its restaurants and bars – what styles of cuisine are most prevalent, what the atmosphere at locals' favorite is like, and so on," says Tom Kiely, president and CEO of West Hollywood Travel + Tourism Board.

Cozy neighborhood spots like Gracias Madre, WeHo Bistro and Taste on Melrose welcome with farm-to-table menus of comfort food and an atmosphere that instantly makes diners feel at home, while upscale restaurants along the Sunset Strip showcase the finer side of West Hollywood cuisine – ROKU serving authentic omakase dinners and teppanyaki, Katana specializing in robata Japanese tapas, and BOA with its rich steakhouse vibe. For throwback Hollywood style, Ivory on Sunset and the Tower Bar and Restaurant – both set in iconic Sunset Strip hotels – bring the glam of eras past.
