The music is awesome! The service is great! A place to enjoy a cocktail or two and reminisce with old friends.
Solid drinks and live jazz! We got the cocktails FERNETTING SARAH MARSHALL and THE DRESDEN'S BLOOD & SAND, which are both decent but a bit sweet and not very strong. The calamari was pretty good too - fresh and a generous portion. A diverse crowd of various ages and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for a date night or a catchup with friends!
Nice place, good food and great music. So much fun on jazz night.

The Dresden Restaurant & Lounge is a Hollywood institution with a rich history, having been a cornerstone of East Hollywood since 1954. It offers a unique and glamorous atmosphere that attracts cinema enthusiasts. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, providing attentive service, although some guests have noted that the hosts can be a bit rude. The food may not be the highlight, but it is good enough to enjoy, with standout dishes like the carrot cake receiving high praise.
This place offers a classic Hollywood atmosphere with a dark, luxurious interior that immediately sets the mood. Guests appreciate the vintage elegance of the decor, featuring plush mid-century style and outdoor seating with privacy walls. Live music adds to the ambiance, making it a wonderful spot to unwind, although it can be quite loud for conversation. The restaurant provides two distinct experiences: the lively bar side with a live band and the more romantic dining area with dim lighting and small booth seating. Guests can enjoy cocktails and small plates, which are well-prepared and easy to share in a group setting. Parking is available for $8 if dining at The Dresden, but it is valet only. Overall, it is a nice step back in time, where guests can feel like stars in a sophisticated setting, making it a great spot for a stylish, laid-back evening.
