Ronnie's Kitchen + Cocktails

This sports bar and everyday eatery in Hollywood comes by way of pandemic popup Ronnie’s Kickin, whose gourmet fried chicken gained a cult-following in quarantine. While you’ll still find lemon pepper tenders and luscious confit wings here, fine dining alum Ronnie Muñoz hopes to further broaden chef-driven comfort food horizons with offerings like a deep-fried “flowering” onion—wink, wink—infused with fennel, house-cured bacon and gravy poutine and a skillet cookie made with Callebaut chocolate. (Takeout window Besties next door brings the same approach to hamburgers and shakes.) The end result? A shoo-in lunch spot for nearby Netflix employees and a welcome antidote to all the ultra-fancy, ultra-expensive Hollywood restaurants opening nearby.
