Description: Inspired by timeless metropolitan restaurants of the 1930s and 1940s in both New York and Los Angeles, Drake’s pairs a sophisticated, craveable food & drink menu with a lively old-school ambiance. From their intimate booths, guests are surrounded by original art featuring iconic characters of Hollywood history from all eras. The music-centric restaurant hosts Live Jazz Nights on Sundays and a rotating DJ on Friday & Saturday evenings, where the party pushes the envelope and looks beyond our natural heritage of what we define as a fun or high-end cuisine lasting until 2 AM. On the fun, well-rounded menu, standouts include a “Melrose” cracker-crust pizza section; a premier steak program focused on wagyu, hand-butchered beef; a sturgeon caviar menu sourced by Thomas Keller of Regiis Ova; and overall craveable American classics. At the bar, guests experience a vintage and expansive wine selection curated by Vandelay Hospitality Group’s in-house Beverage Director and level-3 sommelier, Nathan Carpenter, and a classic cocktail list inspired by Hollywood’s iconic establishments.
