Secret Restaurant & Hookah Lounge

Tucked away from the rushing hubbub of Hollywood Boulevard in the back of the historic Jane's House courtyard, the appropriately named establishment draws folks in from the boulevard with well-mixed and low-priced drinks and heady hookahs. Plentiful seating is available inside, and the patio is a popular choice, with its pleasant ambiance and quality people watching. Aside from substantial drinks, the food here is also highly palatable and comes in generous portions. The menu is mostly Mediterranean fare, with some added basic staples, such as wings and fries. A few nights a week, customers are regaled with a movie projected onto a wall across from the patio or a live music act. Great value and friendly atmosphere make this joint a true hidden gem.
