35 Cent Martinis @ the Edison Downtown!

So, have you been looking for an amazing happy hour at a glamor spot? Look no further than the Edison downtown! The Edison in an LA Speakeasy in the 100 year-old Higgins building in downtown LA. It has a 20's vibe- retro and swanky! The space is dimly lit with leather couches and exposed brick. The generators, turbines, and furnaces that are present throughout give the space an almost museum-like quality. The menu is reflective of the 20's era: heavy on gin and scotch with drinks such as the Southside Collins and Clay St. Cup. These guys aren't just bartenders, they're mixologists!



Now for the good part! They have 35 cent martinis Wednesday-Friday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. However, there is a limit (only 1 per person). They also have some yummy snacks at $5.00 per plate (calamari, slider, grilled cheese, wings, or veggie sandwich-all with your choice of fries). Surprisingly, it wasn't that busy the Wednesday we went, but the ambiance is so unique, it's definitely worth the trip. Try a Friday or Saturday night when it is packed and please!!!!! Leave those jeans at home!!!!
