The 9 Best Bars in Studio City
Firefly
Firefly has a lot going on: a bar-library foyer, a romantic patio, and an upmarket American food menu that gives you reason to stay past drinks. It draws a consistent crowd and takes reservations, which is worth doing if you want the patio. Pricier than most neighbors on the block, but the setting earns it.
Laurel Tavern
A woody gastropub on Ventura with craft beers, burgers, and a patio out front for when the weather cooperates. It functions equally well as a sit-down dinner spot or a place to grab a drink, and reservations, takeout, and delivery are all options.
Black Market Liquor Bar
A cozy bar with a curved brick ceiling, global small plates, and a solid craft cocktail program. It's a reliable neighborhood spot for a real drink and something to eat, and reservations are worth making if you're going on a weekend.
The Six Social House
A bustling gastropub on Ventura in a rustic space, built around a structured menu concept that limits each course to six options. It draws a crowd and handles reservations, takeout, and delivery.
Rocco's Tavern
A casual sports bar with a patio, part of a small local chain, serving Italian comfort food alongside burgers and wraps. It's a reliable neighborhood option for watching a game without overthinking dinner.
Naturewell 2
Naturewell 2 is a well-liked Studio City bar on Ventura Boulevard with takeout and delivery available. Details on the full concept are limited, but the ratings suggest regulars are happy here.
Tuning Fork LA
A locavore gastropub on Ventura Place pouring artisanal beer and wine in a bright, wood-heavy room, with live music most evenings. It's a relaxed but thoughtfully put-together neighborhood bar.
Kaffe Rouge
A bar on the west end of Ventura Blvd that takes reservations and offers takeout. Details are limited, but it has a steady local following.
Flask Fine Wine & Whisky
A wine and whisky shop on Ventura Blvd focused on the finer end of the bottle spectrum. Delivery is available if you'd rather browse from home.
