AMAZING coffee and pastries if you want a quick bite (make sure to skip the long line if you're not waiting for a table - there's a quick service counter inside!), and they also have a lovely breakfast and lunch if you have time to sit. Always busy on the weekends, but worth the wait. The all-outdoors seating is always lovely - come on, it never rains in Southern California! Also, you can walk - bonus!

They say that when this place opened in 1986, folks in the entertainment industry could show a "residuals" check - their earnings from working on a film or TV show - they would give you a drink for the cost of the check.
Still owned and operated by actors, musicians, and comedians, Residuals Tavern is an industry oriented neighborhood bar. Whether above the line or below, networking or catching up with friends, Residuals Tavern is LA's neighborhood bar.
