Public Kitchen and Bar

One of L.A.'s newest happy hours is at Public Kitchen & Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. Since that's where one of my favorite bars (The Library Bar) is at, I was excited to try this happy hour. Public Kitchen call theirs "5 for 5".  I thought it would be 5 drinks and 5 food items like BLT's "5 fof 5 Happy Hour", but it was only wine, well drinks, and draft beers, one specialty cocktail and one appetizer for $5 each. Now the drink selection is good (especially the $5 cocktail) but I was disappointed with the one appetizer. Oh well.

The specialty cocktail being offered was "It's All Good" made with Skyy Vodka, Domaine de Canton (a French Ginger liqueur), mint, and soda. It was really nice... very refreshing and pretty strong!

 "It's All Good" $5

(The picture is a bit deceiving. It was a nice size.)

Since they rotate the specialty drink, check out what else they offer. I ordered the Kentucky Brunch to give it a try, but I never got it. Why? Eh... long story. But it sounds great!

The appetizer being offered was Hummus with Sun Dried Tomatoes. It was good and they'll give you extra pita if you ask.

So "drink-wise" this is a good happy hour, but the lack of food deals was a bummer.  Would I recommend this happy hour? Um, that's a hard one. Let's just say this, I don't ever mention service in my reviews... but good customer service was lacking.
