Barney's Beanery

Popular for decades, Barney's is many things to many people, for some, it is a great casual restaurant with a huge menu, for others, it is an always crowded bar loaded with people of all ages and backgrounds. It is even a great place to have a drink and play some pool after work, with a beer list almost as prodigious as the menu. It is one of the few bars that has always been a hot tourist spot, yet has been a longstanding favorite of locals as well. Be sure to ask around for stories of Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin, both of whom spent time within these walls. It is a little piece of Hollywood history and with new branches opened in nearby locations, the tradition is sure to continue.
