Hollywood’s golden era is gone but not forgotten, and, thanks to Public Kitchen & Bar, located within The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, it can even be celebrated in the best way possible: with cocktails. The eatery’s new cocktail menu pays homage to the rich and storied history of Tinseltown as well as some of its most famous names of yore such as Desi Arnez, Johnny Grant and Billy Bo Jangles. Whether you’re a fan of vintage Hollywood or whether you really just enjoy a good cocktail, you’re going to love this highly inspired new libations menu at Executive Chef and restaurateur Tim Goodell’s critically-acclaimed classic American brasserie.
