Love this place. As soon as you walk in you fall in love with the place from the brick ceiling to the shelving of the alcohol to the both table with candle light. This place is amazing for any occasion. The food is amazing nothing i tried was a let down. The drinks out of this world. The crew new exactly how to make you feel welcomed. Definitely coming back here.
We went on Saturday as this place was in my list of restaurants to visit it looked in pics very nice inside, the bar area, ceiling and fans are very cool, but that's it. The menu for was ok with lack of variety in the main plates so we only ordered some plates to share. The spicy Korean wings were delicious, the shrimp with aioli were not my favorite way too seasoned and the "aioli" didn't really go with the dish, it would have been better to have a lighter dressing or just a lemon. Mussels were a disappointment, the sauce was way too greasy and heavy (usually we enjoy mussels and dip the bread in the sauce, well this was not the case, we both hated it) Service was bad and slow, we were waiting for our drinks and there was a bartender absolutely enjoying "il dolce far niente", only one guy was really doing his job. Maybe our waiter forgot our order, don't know. We had to wait between dishes when we ordered 3 small dishes to share, they didn't bring a clean plate after the messy but delicious K-wings, had to ask for clean silverware, didn't take the empty glasses on our table. The Strawberry cocktail was really good(red hot and unbothered), we ordered 2. The ginger cocktail (son of a beesting) -not my favorite- but the ginger candy was really good. Martini was good just as ordered(dirty and extra dry), no martini glasses but in a small glass that when my husband moved it to drink it got spilled on the table).The sticky toffee pudding was good. Bill for 3 plates to share, 3 cocktails and dessert $139. My reviews are always based on price, service, food and place/vibe. Won't come back.
Atmosphere is very casual and comfortable. The food is very good. The staff is very friendly and professional. The skirt steak and the sea bass were excellent. Prior to the entrees we had the Brussel sprouts , crispy spring rolls and peel and eat shrimp. All were delicious. You can share small plates among everyone at the table if desired. This was our first time dining here. We will definitely return!
Might be my new favorite spot on the Blvd (and there are some good ones!). Reasonably priced (unlike other spots nearby) and the atmosphere, drinks and service are all great.
Our server was so lovely omg.. I wish I remembered her name! Incredible customer service and out-of-this-world flavor in the dishes we got. Highly recommend the crudo, quail eggs, fried cauliflower (chef’s grandma’s recipe), smoked trout, and handmade pastas. Would think that the potato chips would be a sleeper but they were so light and crispy. Wow wow wow. Can’t wait to go back.
Had a really good time at the Black Market. We did a tapas sharing round, and I especially liked the Brussels Sprouts and the meatballs. Cocktail-wise, the Red Hot was my favorite with a spicy sweet mix.Our waitress Emma was really kind and sweet and had good chemistry with us, which is always a good thing.Would definitely come back.
Had dinner and drinks. Service was great and everything was delicious. We had the quail eggs, burrata, spring rolls, ricotta gnudi, and churros, everything was amazing except the churros, they were ok, a little undercooked. Quail eggs were so good, almost ordered a second, burrata was delicious the toast that comes with it was perfect, spring rolls were really good, they lose a little crunch because of the shiitake but they taste great. The gnudi was probably the highlight, perfectly browned butter with sage is one of the best tastes ever. We will definitely be back.
Amazing food! I got the skirt steak, it was very juicy and delicious. Went great with the fries! Also, don’t forget dessert. Get the flutter nutter ??
The drinks, food, and ambiance here are all amazing! I drink the Europa and recommend starting with the hamachi, charred brussel sprouts, and spring rolls.
Keep your bar friends close and your Bacardi rum closer. Happy birthday to the most humble person in the world! ME. Black Market Liquor Bar Restaurant is a spot transforms a childhood staple into a decadent grown-up treat. It’s located in Ventura Blvd in Studio city. We came here to celebrate the holidays and birthdays. The bar’s indoor seats has a cool atmosphere with its exposed brick ceiling. Moreover, it has a full bar and copious amount of leather couch seats and tables. Outdoor seating is available too for those who prefer the fresh LA air. Lol. We sat at the bar and perused at the menu. They have good selection of drinks (cocktails, wine and beer) and food (italian). I ordered one of the Schoolyard cocktails, Pinot Noir, Trout and Penne pasta with parmigiano reggiano pomodoro. The food was amazing and drinks were superfluous. Bartenders were bloody friendly and amazing. To top of they sent us a complimentary bday treat with a Marshmallow Fluff, deep-fried to create a blissful combo of crunchy creaminess. Prices were fair. Street parking is available. In this voluminous review, it’s time to make a recommendation. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere, service, food and drinks. I highly recommend this bar restaurant.
