Lono
Los Angeles, California, United States
Lono opened in June 2017. It was a large restaurant and bar in Hollywood, themed to Hollywood's yesteryear of tropical glamour, the pre-tiki era of nearby restaurants such as Bob Brook's Seven Seas and Don the Beachcomber. The restaurant's target era was closer to the '30s and '40s than the '50s and '60s, and as such the look of the space was more tropical-lite than truly tiki. The drink menu was a mix of classic tiki drinks and modern takes on tiki, carefully crafted and presented. The food menu was mainly small plates of flavors from around the world, or on the other end of the food spectrum, you could reserve a complete "luau" experience.
NOTE: Was listed as "Temporarily Closed" throughout 2022-2023 with no clear date to re-open but then listed for lease on Loop.net in 2023...which says it all...

Went with a friend and sat at the bar before a concert (Jawbreaker) at Hollywood Palladium. Met fun people at the bar. Took the following drink notes:
- Mai Tai - 8/10 - balanced, clean finish, 1/2 almond 1/2 cashew orgeat
- Navy Grog - almost too lite, super clean finish; burnt cinnamon stick
- Zombie - super flavorful, clean finish
- Curse of Lono - awesome fire garnish, very lite mouthfeel, complex but clean finish

An absolute gem in Hollywood. Monica and I came here on date night and it exceeded all expectations. The drinks, service and decor were all 10/10. So excited to go back her in the future!
