Master Critic Review

Elbow Room 8.0
Hollywood
A lively Hollywood‑bar with wood‑fired pizza, craft beers and a 3‑8pm daily happy hour. Locals pick it for both pre‑show drinks and late‑night eats.
Must-Try Dishes: 20‑inch East‑Coast style pizza, Garlic fries, Truffle mac & cheese
Scores:
Value: 8.4 Service: 7 Consistency: 8.2 Food Quality: 7.8 Atmosphere: 8.5 Cultural Relevance: 7.9
What makes it special: Pizza and beer combo during extended daily happy hour.
Who should go: Friends after work or post‑show crew.
When to visit: Between 3pm‑6pm on weekdays.
What to order: Aperol Spritz + 1/2 large pizza + garlic fries.
Insider tip: Front patio seats fill early; snag a table just after happy hour starts.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking available, but limited after 6pm; valet service at $12.
Dress code: Casual – jeans and a t-shirt are fine, but a more polished look will fit in with the crowd.
Noise level: Moderate – background noise from the lively bar, but still possible to hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 30-45 min without a reservation, especially after happy hour.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait during lunchtime.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – a good selection of vegetarian pizzas and appetizers.
Vegan options: Limited – a couple of vegan-friendly pizza options and sides available.
Gluten-free options: Yes – gluten-free pizza crust and a separate prep area to avoid cross-contamination.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, the lively atmosphere and casual vibe make it a fun spot for a first date, but not too loud for conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but reservations are recommended during busy hours (especially around happy hour). You may have to wait for a table without one.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes, though it’s more suited for older children due to the bar atmosphere. High chairs are available, and the food is generally family-friendly.
Best For
Better for: Great for groups or a casual drink-and-bite after work or a show. The pizza and drink specials are a big draw compared to other bars in the area.
Skip if: Looking for a quiet dinner or fancy experience – this is more of a lively, casual hangout spot.
