Review
Designed with a jovial 1970s aesthetic, Galerie took over the former The Den on Sunset space but somehow feels like it’s been there for years. The owners have utterly transformed it into a multifaceted venue that honors the neighborhood's rock-and-roll heyday without rigidly leaning into club culture. If this is how your grandma partied, you had a really cool grandma.
The vibe: Retro-glamorous and deeply inviting. The front patio features a striking burgundy-and-white marble-checkered floor, leading into a low-lit main dining room lined with red leather banquettes, chrome accents, and sexy baby-blue sofas. A deep-walnut DJ booth equipped with vintage-inspired speakers anchors the space, providing an incredible all-vinyl soundtrack. The atmosphere easily transitions from a refined supper club during the dinner rush to a lively lounge scene late into the evening.
The food: The menu balances comfort with sophistication, leaning heavily into shareable, bistro classics. The absolute standout is the Gruyère-doused French onion-style burger, punctured with a knife like a victim from a Scream film and ready for sharing. Other highlights include Wagyu beef skewers with shishito and black garlic and a phenomenally bright, crunchy cucumber Caesar salad finished with sourdough breadcrumbs and crispy leeks. Looking to splurge? The perfectly cooked tomahawk steak is an unforgettable centerpiece.
The drink: The cocktail program is inspired by mid-century classics updated with cheeky touches. The visual showstopper is the Double Take, a concoction featuring butterfly pea flower-infused mezcal layered with elderflower, passionfruit, and amaro that magically shifts colors as you stir it. For a total throwback, their citrusy, vodka-led riff on the Harvey Wallbanger is a perfect match for the 1970s environment.
Time Out tip: Explore the space. There is a beautifully restored, vintage chrome photo booth to capture tangible memories of your night. The restaurant frequently hosts rotating art exhibitions and live jazz sessions that make it worth lingering long after your meal is finished.
