"Crowds of Westside hipsters" cram into this "fantastic" West LA American from Jeff Weinstein (The Counter), where the white subway tiles and vintage decor make it "feel like NY"; expect "swell cocktails", "adventurous", well-priced small plates and a "noisy" scene.
Brussels Sprouts. Did you just picture the worst of your mom's cooking, or possibly a cartoon version of bad food, complete with stink lines? Well it's time to grow up, my friend. At Freddie Smalls, they grill them up with some goat cheese and an apple cider glaze... Sure,they also serve craft cocktails against dim 40's-inspired decor, and even some solid waffles, the brussels sprouts are the raison d'etre at Freddie Small. If you don't eat them, don't expect a scolding from your waiter. They'll just be confused as to how you could let something that delicious pass you by.
It's like a little slice of NY right smack dab in sunny so-cali. With a well manicured cocktail list and a delicious menu of date worthy bites, this is one cozy little bar worthy of a visit.
