The Wellesbourne

I struggle to think of a reason to not give this place five stars.
Cool decor - CHECK
Good music - CHECK
Great drinks - SUPER DOUBLE CHECK
I had my first ever old fashioned here and it was freaking delicious.  This definitely will not be my last one of those.  I love the speak-easy/library decor.  BALLER

I am a fan. Enter a realm of a dim library fetish, where leather chairs, books and a fireplace tickle your UK/English tourist fantasy. Step right up to a bar serving really great mixed drinks. I ordered a Manhattan and was not dissapointed. Ok, fine. Their cherries were not the best I've tasted, but at least they were actual cherries. I really appreciated the space in this establishment. The layout is quite comfortable. We went on a Thursday night and there was a lot of space to just hang around, walk around and enjoy the whole vibe. The best part is that it was surprising to go to this place right off pico -- near the mall. I would not have imagined this place would be here and it was great! Definatley going back again.

Ambiance:
*Beautiful 1920's decor.
*Perfect lounge/ bar lighting!
*Great space, good for a medium group gathering (10 people).
*Not much street parking, but you can park at Westside Pavilion across the street.

Food:
*The best Old Fashioned I've ever had ($10). Not too sweet.
