Editorial Review for Gallery Bar – by Stephanie L. Smith
In Short
From the overstuffed furniture to the de rigueur oak paneling, the Gallery Bar oozes with the grandeur of yesteryear's Los Angeles. Nestled in the bosom of the historic Millennium Biltmore Hotel, it's warmed by honey-colored chandeliers and a hand-painted Italian Renaissance ceiling. Small touches lend a casual flair, rendering this potentially snobbish establishment warm and inviting. Hushed and refined, it's the perfect downtown spot to unwind.

Insider Tips
ParkingIf you're not a hotel guest, it's easiest to get in and out of the Pershing Square garage across the street. It'll cost you $6, but it's well-lit, spacious and convenient.
What to DrinkThe house specialty martini, named after Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia, features Absolute Citron, Chambord and Kahlua, and is priced at $14.

Went one night to hear some live jazz and sip some whiskey. Ornate and stately room, but the acoustics are terrible for jazz. The Millennium Biltmore Hotel is historic and beautifully designed all throughout. Check out the historic corridor en route to the restrooms -- pictures of some of the early Academy Awards Ceremonies held at the hotel. The place feels like The Shining -- in a good way. Good place to try if you're downtown and want an interesting experience. I will definitely go back.
