West Hollywood’s Harlowe was our stomping ground some 10+ years ago – where the hottest crowd always found their way for cocktails, late-night dancing, and a happy time in this intimate sexy environment. Today, that buzz still exists, even post-Covid.

A new spacious outdoor patio awaits and the neighborhood venue is still going strong, with a new set of Hollywood’s finest youth in attendance early and late. Sidle up around the vintage circular wooden cocktail bar, celebrating the Golden Age of Hollywood and inspired by a single painting of a vibrant 1930s socialite. Meet your next beau or entertainment contact in this friendly seductive space barside or in a cozy leather booth. Stay later to experience a DJ set or Bottle Service from 10 PM on or come for early Happy Hour on the outdoor garden-laden private patio.

The fun doesn’t seem to stop here, as this cool spot has Silent Movie Screenings every Tuesday, Karaoke on Sundays from 5 PM on, Music Bingo on Wednesdays from 8 pm to test your music knowledge, and make-your-own Margaritas (pick your pepper), Build-a-Mule options, and an epic cocktail menu.

A plethora of Happy Hour options and a new completely revamped top-notch bar menu (thanks to the 1933 Group) are just a few more reasons to visit. The curated new menu sticks to one ethos – use fresh ingredients and do little to them! Isn’t that the California way? Well, it should be everywhere, and you can find that here with an Italophile culinary consultant leading the direction of the new fantastic menu selections.

Harlowe Highlights:

Taco Tuesday Menu – $6 tacos plus mad Happy Hour specials on food and drinks from 5 – 7 PM Tuesday – Sunday with many of the dishes below. $10 mules, old fashioned, margarita, whisky sour, and long island iced tea as well as beer, wine, and well drinks.

All of the tacos are packed with inventive flavor bursts served on Gracias a Dios white corn tortillas charred on an open flame, but we especially adored the seared shrimp tacos and the smashed Japanese purple potato with black beans (and we are not vegan) and queso fresco. Other options include citrus-marinated chicken with avocado and carne asada.

Share the oozy oven-baked Vodka Pasta Gratinée, creamy and baked with pecorino, mozzarella, and breadcrumbs. Consider other shareable items like Oversized Prawn Shrimp Cocktail (grilled with espelette and lime zest served warm on glass with a Madre mezcal-spiked cocktail sauce) and the Cheese & Italian Salumi Plate; a brie torta with pesto, balls of fresh goat cheese rolled in bee pollen, wildflower honey, finocchiona salami, and cognac mustard.  Fried Calamari and Chicken tenders are gluten-free, and battered by using chickpea flour.  

Vegans will appreciate the Vegetable crudo platter with lemon hummus, cucumber mint yogurt, and pickled onion and the Fried Green Tomato Burger made with cornmeal and chickpea flour batter in buttermilk, flash-fried in a pan with spicy avocado crema.

Indulge in perfectly cooked meat – 100% grass-fed Wagyu Burger with fries and Hanger Steak Frites with peppercorn brandy butter.

End with gelato made using Gelato Festival’s mastery – chocolate with pistachio orange honey brittle crunchies and Fior Di Latte doused with passion fruit honey syrup and toasted sesame, or lemon sorbet with fresh lime zest.

You can expect fun happy amazing servers and the fountain of hip youth paired with an all-around scintillating foodie experience.
