Studio City's dark-and-loud small plates room — inventive cocktails and a menu built for sharing late
Black Market Liquor Bar sits behind an unmarked-looking facade on Ventura Boulevard and runs on the model that made it a Valley fixture: exposed brick, low light, loud music, a cocktail program with genuine ambition, and a menu of shareable plates that hold up at eleven at night. The pretzel bread with beer cheese is the dish people bring first-timers for. The kitchen rotates enough to reward repeat visits without abandoning the greatest hits. It is one of the few rooms on this stretch that feels like it could be in Silver Lake or the Arts District and simply chose not to be — which is why Studio City has kept it busy for over a decade.
