Editorial Review for L'Scorpion – by Lilla Zuckerman
In Short
Through a nondescript storefront with scorpion insignia, grown-up club kids and Kitson-junkies are seduced into this Spanish-revival eatery and intimate bar. The space emulates Barcelona's gothic quarter, with walls aglow from candlelit sconces, oversized mirrors and a long bar attended by polite, well-dressed bartenders. Transitioning between buzzing bar and serious dining room, patrons vie for tabletops in the main bar or more private rear lounge. The Latin-themed menu includes sharable late-night dishes like whitefish seviche, fancy tamales and slow-cooked meats.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. The place is small and cozy and not too over crowded. The bar tender knows what he is doing, and his drinks are great. Sammy the bartender makes the effort to get to know you, and does not disappoint. Great nachos!!! This is a great place to come any day of the week, and did i mention happy hour!!! No hollywood attitude here... great place to come to start your friday night...
Pros: bartender, food, drinks, atmosphere
Cons: none

This is our usual spot to start off the weekend. We try to go every Friday for the half off happy hour. My boyfriend and I usually go and split a pitcher of pomegrante margaritas to start off the evening beautifully. I love the 'bordello' (as someone else described it) feel to the bar. The bartender really knows his stuff about tequila. He always recommends new drinks for us to try out, he is always nice and he always keeps the drinks coming. I can't really explain why I love this place so much. It is just a comfortable bar where the patrons are there to have fun and hang out, not cause any drama. Five stars all the way from me.
