Boardner's
If you’re a comedian or a friend of someone who considers themself a comedian, you’ve been to Boardner’s. The dim, moody bar on a Hollywood side street has been around since 1927 and is a go-to for post-show drinks in the area. But even if you aren’t supporting your roommate’s middling stand-up career, a night at Boardner’s is always a good idea. The drinks are cheap, the food menu is surprisingly solid, and the crowd watching never disappoints. You know you’re in a true Old Hollywood bar when the guy who’s measuring his hands with a tape measure at the bar isn’t the weirdest thing you see that night.
