The Smoke House
4420 Lakeside Drive
Burbank, CA
818-845-3731
The Smoke House is like an old country club-club house and is meant to be. It is a grand tradition where movie studio deals were genuinely made, yet lacks any aloof feel. It is a place of comfy wood and leatherette banquettes, bespeaking its 1940s birthright. Its bar is dark with dimly-atmospheric lighting.
Hours: Mon.-Fri., 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m.; Sat., 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Sun., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.

| Best dishes |
Full menu, moderately pricey. The comfortable scents of the steak and their famous garlic bread are pervasive.
|
| Drink picks |
Negronis, Martinis, and the classics reign at the Smokehouse. Befitting its age and legendary status, drinks are served old club-style with a good bit in your small glass and the balance in a small hoddle on ice at your table or barside.
