At some point we’re gonna run out of bar concepts, right?
Wrong. Because as long as booze is being poured and kegs are still being delivered, it doesn’t much matter what decade or country or gay rodeo theme you decide to theme your bar around, the people will come. But when you’re able take a concept and organically infuse it past just the wallpaper (and into your food), you might have something really cool on your hands.
On paper, Spitz appears to be just another colorful addition to the Los Feliz hipster postcard. Its large open windows have the place basically spilling out onto the sidewalk, if not literally. And upon entering, your eyes are immediately drawn to the impressive tap selection behind the bar and the long, wooden communal tables perfect for big group hangouts AKA day drinking. You think to yourself, “I’ve got my new drinking spot!” And you’re not wrong. But Spitz is actually much more.
At Spitz, the food is the focus and it’s paying off. Spitz’s primary mission is bringing European street king, the Doner-Kabob, to the mouths of hungry hipsters. Even if nothing is truly mind-blowing here, everything is still pretty d*mn good, especially when you’re sitting around drinking beer and playing trivia. That beats cold wings and diarrhea nachos any day.
