The Black Cat is another one of my locals. The service is fast and good. The food is delicious! The muscles are my favorite thing on the menu the parfait is decadent and the snacks are addictive. Lennon was our server at the bar he was fun, knowledgeable, friendly and talented at making cocktails. The interior design is stunning and cool at the same time. The atmosphere is upscale but casual. This space was one of the original gay bars in Los Angeles/Silver Lake and was at the forefront of gay activism. Open to everyone. Great for a date night or fun out with friends! A must try on the east side.
Super chill/adorable place to have a few drinks and munchies. It’s nice to be in a place that is designed nicely and has a great history! Bartenders are great, they didn’t know how to make some of the drinks we asked for but we’re so open to ask so they attempted to make them, that’s what you call customer service at its finest! (In all fairness, we are very particular customers- so even more kuddos to them!)
This is a great spot if you're looking for outdoor seating (they have plenty), amazing drinks (some of the best) and delicious food! The service is great, they have several gluten free & vegan options (I suggest their veggie burger) and I had no idea that this location is the first documented LGBT civil rights demonstration in the nation (2/11/67)!
I'll recommend this place all day long - everything is great here and you can't lose.
I consider Black Cat my local. The outdoor seating is fantastic and reliable and the drinks are very good. The food is good too, though I don't love the menu. The veggie burger was tasty but absoluuuuutely destroyed my stomach (maybe a Beyond Burger option?) and I wish they had both a dairy-free salad with more veggies and a healthier fish dish (salmon with vegetables?). Just a suggestion!
Loved sitting outside at this historic place with a glass of wine. Inside has a classy vibe. The Brussels sprouts were *very good*. Outside is first come first served seating & QR code ordering. Dog friendly and wheelchair accessible.
I have really enjoyed this restaurant and bar both for dining in and for their late night delivery. Usually their food is delicious so I was really disappointed to try their mushroom toastie tonight. The wild mushrooms were there, but there was so much rich cheese and horseradish bechemel that it was impossible to eat. It also completely obliterated the potential subtle flavors of the mushrooms. I will continue to try new menu items, but this was unfortunately a big fail. The butternut squash soup was a bit better although no need to make it that sweet. Sometimes just relying on the flavors of the foods themselves is the best bet.
The Black Cat is a great spot for meeting up with friends because of the large outdoor space. Drinks are always great and the staff does a great job. It can get pretty hectic on the weekends, and I usually only stick to the outdoor space because it can get cramped inside, but definitely one of my local favorite bars with a very significant history within the LGBT community.
I adore this place. I love the decoration, the crew members are polite and friendly, and the location is fantastic. They have a decent list of wines and plenty of cocktail options. Never eaten anything from there but I saw different dishes and they look great. Small outdoor area!
A great place for a drink and a bite to eat, the food was amazing best bar food I have tasted currently. Considering the great taste the price is worth it, and the drinks are in good selection and taste. Will be coming here again.
Really great food and atmosphere. I came with a party of 6 that made the reservation only a hour or so before we got there on a Saturday night. Food was delicious, we were set right away & service was quick. Everyone enjoyed their food. I got the grab cakes with fries. Crab cake were tasty- a few of us ordered them & we all liked them.
Halfway through the mussels, best dish I ordered.
Really good food, but be careful they add a Surcharge without telling you!
Favorite bar in LA, favorite gay bar in the country. 10/10. Beautiful and great.

Great bar and spot in Silverlake with very elegant and cool decor. We absolutely love the cocktails especially the Deadly Lady & Mother in Law. The food menu also offers great selections of bar food, the duck confit burger, and brussels sprouts were the highlights of what we ordered. Very cool vibe and chic crowd on a Tuesday night!
