Offbeat L.A.

Opened as the Prince in 1991. Originally was an outdoor garden cafe on 1927 & then turned into the elegantly French restaurant Windsor in 1949.

Oozing with atmosphere! If you're a Mad Men fan, you'll get a kick out of The Prince. Used as a shooting location, you can sit in the same red booth as Don Draper.

Although this dive bar is in Koreatown, it appears in the Roman Polanski-directed film Chinatown (1974) as The Brown Derby, a since-shuttered bar . Pro tip: order the Korean deep-fried chicken . Read more

My favorite place to take out of town guests and/or second dates. If they dig the vibe, then they're my kind of people.

"Retro-dystopian Blade Runner Los Angeles? Some kind of supervillain hangout? You'll want a round of their famous spicy fried chicken and some kimchi fried rice topped with a greasy egg ." –5 Every Day Read more

The chicken is off the hook......a must try - small 10.99 - whole for only a 1.75 more --- derrr - get the whole and ask for radishes also

Jeffrey James

Delicious fried chicken , & there are buttons on every table to get service however a little slow when busy. Awesome decor & lots of history!

Sam Wing

Fried chicken and a pitcher of Hite. That's all you need to know.

The Prince is my fave eatery . A Korean restaurant with the best Old English decor imaginable. Besides the ambiance, the Eel is to die for. Also, bizzarely so LA, the chips and salsa are amazing.

Looking for a dark, velvety, crimson & gold bar for a secret drink? This is your spot. Plus the Korean golden fried chicken is renowned too

Credit card minimum is $11. Bring cash if you don't plan to drink that much.

LA: A favorite of Rodarte sibling duo Laura & Kate Mulleavy who share that "this Camelot-inspired bar is part of LA history." Click "More Info" for more details. Read more

Cheap pitchers of beer and Korean food . Amazing ambiance and interior.. we recognized it from a Mad Men episode, haha.

The Prince has good drinks and an amazing interior. The food is basic Korean bar grub, but the portions are massive.

Cool but very different

Galo Canote

Buy the Mayor a drink.....

Devereau Chumrau

Honestly the fried chicken was why I went there and it was alright. Parking sucks in the area. The drinks were pretty watered down too to be so expensive . Service was lousy. Not worth my money.
