You can't help feeling a bit like Harry Potter as you sip on one of their delightful libations while sitting next to the roaring fireplace sipping on a Brandy Alexander. Read more

I finally got to visit The Wellesbourne last night. It exceeded my expectations and is now my new L.A. fave! Try the Cucumber Mint Martini and the Blackberry Gimlet with a flaming orange garnish . Wow!

Brian Tanklage

Great drinks, good looking crowd, easy-going & classy vibe. Unlike most bars where the ownership feels that blasting loud (and mostly bad) music is a good idea; this bar has good music

Edlin Choi

Keep it classy . Old mahogany feel with large leather chairs and great mixologists . Sit by the fire and ponder life w your friends as you sip down an Old Fashioned . (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Come early to snag prime seating by the fireplace . Great group hang out in an antique style library setting. No table service: All food/drinks must be ordered at the bar .

Live music is great - current samples and a great DJ in the off time. Awesome RnB tunes ! Way too loud for a date, though. Drinks are so so and they so offer $4 valet parking .

John Cohen

This place was fun great atmosphere for the younger crowd. Drinks were well poured and the music was House. Great Experience I would recommend this place for 30 and under.

Kevin

The first 2 parking spots outside turn into passenger loading zones after 7pm. Takes a bit to see it on the meter's scrolling message, but it is legit if they tell you you can't park in the first 2.

Matt (@VeganCheesehead) Crotteau

Fun vibe. Library theme is cool, fireplace is nice, and drinks are potent!! ???? ???? ???? . Wear something nice though.

Daniela G

Parking 's easy (mall/street/cheap valet). Drinks are fairly priced , but if you're adventurous, let the waiter create a drink for you. It's worth the wait!

Christopher Laedlein

This place is awesome, let the mixologists work their magic and get creative, I recommend the manhattan . Avoid the $11 delirium, it's good but it's no Unibroue

Kaz K.

Always have fun here; service is great and crowd is diverse. More down to earth than your stereotypical Westside bar .

Karon W

This is the Westside less expensive equivalent of the Edison (minus the speakeasy part). Really great vibe and anywhere that has Strongbow on tap gets an A+ from me!

Jeana Passy

One of my favorite bars on the west side. All the bar tenders are knowledgeable and the drinks are made to perfection.

Bo Liebman

Great decor and good drinks. Can sometimes take a while to get your drinks though. Bartenders are professional but overbooked.

Jeff Stephens

Classic cocktails are solid, and the “bartender’s choice” is fantastic in happy hour .

Justin McCammon

Great library themed bar to stop off for a drink if you're waiting for a table nearby.

Ashley

Service is SLOW, so you might want to be finishing yours while you wait at the bar for a refill, but they make a first-rate vodka gimlet . Park at Westside Pavilions garage across the street for free.

Sam Licker

Best Vesper Martini I've had so far. Good cocktail and beer menu

Jivanto van Hemert

Phenomenal! Everything from the drinks to the atmosphere to the bar tenders are great here!

Get the table area by the fireplace on a Monday night

Rehi Alaganar

On Saturday night the tunes were amazing - 90s hip hop and RnB

K P

Mishka knows how to make a pretty awesome old fashioned . Just be sure to order it trash out with a little bit less sugar.

Joseph C

Cool bar to hang. Different areas to have a drink with friends. #@ the bar #Fireplace #Pico

Mayumi Miyasato

order the "norito ," drink. A hidden Wellesbourne drink- Its fairly cheap and taste like yummy applepie w/a dash of cinnamon !

Marc Vermut

Great cocktails and bartenders that will custom mix.

Christina O'Rourke

You'll feel like you're at some secret society's house party. Skip the Valet, you can usually find parking on Pico - even on weekend nights.

Ricky Hernandez

Wonderfully decorated interior, try the Pimms Cup

Amanda Szalasny

Slow service but only because they're perfectionists. They'll reserve tables for your bday celebration for free! Try the Grasshopper.

Mercedes McLemore

Best vodka gimlets , cool atmosphere, but I'd come on a weekday. This place gets too damn crowded !

David Heiser

Good cocktails , but way too loud for a place that seems like it should be a chill lounge vibe.

Jim De Vico

Fantastic atmosphere. Crowd gets very young after 11.

Shil Pa

Foooooosball. Awesome dig. Feel like I'm in a cozy pocket of Bruce Wayne's mansion

Connie Chiu

Fun but crowded spot with corporate folks and online dating peeps.

Emmalee

Nicer bar with a cool atmosphere!

@jasonyi924

Great live music on Thursdays. Funk rock band .

Jonny Ahdout

Best old fashioned in Los Angeles.

Tessa

Good craft cocktails

Matt Schwarz

Have a cocktail by the fireplace .

Teufel Wolf

You can get a weak open Wi-Fi signal if you sit by the front windows.

Alex Hyman

Thursday nights offers up some pretty talented live music .

K P

Ask Steve to make you a Steve Cider . It's like a mojito with gin .

James T

Their Foosball table needs some love.

Andrew Mui

Ask John for the Tuxedo number 2!!! Awesome drink

bryan Valderrama

Great place but a little too loud

James T

Nice atmosphere.

Teresa Tong

DJ Moses on Fri nights play pretty sweet 90s beats

Nareg

Ramos gin fizz

I know. I know. It's all about the burgers at this classic LA joint. But, if you don't do burgers....do the egg salad sandwich with a slice of Tillamook cheddar! Delish! - Lydia Ammosova
