The Black Cat is a well-known restaurant that offers delicious food, quick yet friendly service, and a warm, stylish ambiance. Its dark paneling and leather-clad dining area create a vibe reminiscent of a 1920s East Coast speakeasy. The calamari and hamburger are standout dishes, and the happy hour is a favorite among locals. Attentive servers and skilled bartenders contribute to a memorable dining experience, making it a highly recommended spot.
The restaurant has a rich history as one of the first places in Los Angeles where the LGBTQ community and allies protested for human dignity and freedom. The current owners remain supportive allies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Stonewall Democratic Club has returned here to host their general membership meetings, enjoying the meeting room and excellent food, including their pizza and wings.
Customers praise the warm, attentive, and professional staff, especially the server who took care of every detail of their dinner. The food is praised for both flavor and presentation, offering good value. The cozy, stylish, and welcoming ambiance makes it perfect for a night out with friends. While there was one odd moment with a bartender, the overall experience was fantastic, and The Black Cat remains highly recommended.
