Editorial Review for 3rd Stop – by Michael Martin
In Short
Inside the bungalow-facade which once housed Locanda Veneta's affordable sister-eatery, this casual bar offers upscale pub fare and beer-minded drinking. Stripping the location of traditional table service, bartenders with white aprons attend a long wood-grain bar, where impressive stouts display selections of more than 30 imported and domestic brews. Robertson fashionistas and Cedars residents shout out their food selections from a revolving menu with choices like brick-oven pizzas, a gnocchi-based mac and cheese, seared ahi and burgers.

So, I've begun frequenting this place again after what seems to have been a lengthy spat with the LA ABC. All of the bar stools are back, as are a few HOT new bartender/waitresses. And low and behold, a fresh new menu! The pizzas are still there, but now they have(GASP)specials, too. So far I've had the spicy tuna sandwich on a ciabatta roll, and the perfectly portioned lasagna(I think it actually fresh, and not Stouffer's). But they also have some traditional apps, like mozzarella sticks, and nachos. There's also a RIDICULOUS wine selection that compliments the massive beer list. The girl I was with loved that pink wine(it's a chilled one, don't ask me the name). The music has gotten better too. There's a nice mix of alternative rock, and sometimes bearable pop music. I did hear the old "hair metal" mix, last week, but hey, it was nostalgic. It gets busy as hell from time to time like it used to, and sometimes there's a wait, but the guys at the door aren't jerks. Someone told me that they are brothers(yeah, right). I came in with 4 friends 2 weeks ago, and we waited about 15-20 minutes, but the guy who's been there awhile really seemed to try and get us in there as fast as he could, giving us updates every 2 minutes. But hey, who doesn't have to wait to get into a cool place from time to time? So what, you can't sit/stand anywhere you damn well please. Whenever it was busy before, you just had to make do anyway. Will it ever be like it was? Probably not. Am I glad it's pretty close, with some adjustments? You bet your a** I am!
Pros: Beer/wine selection, hard working staff, tasty new menu!
Cons: Sometimes a wait for large groups.

Commenting on the last post, I have a feeling that the post was made by the same Moron yelling at the cops to say the least!!!!!! Complying with the ABC was one thing, changing the entire organization, another. How ABC thinks about an establishment run by a drunk, with the rationality of a 5th grader? That’s the real question. I guess survival mode and desperation will lead to self posting.....pitiful.
