The weather can get downright chilly in Los Angeles once the sun sets from now until late spring, so snag a seat next to a roaring fire while having a cocktail or a meal. Find welcoming fireplaces and fire pits at many old-school taverns, trendy rooftop restaurants, and quirky bars with cozy nooks throughout the Southland. Here are the 18 best LA restaurants with fireplaces to help keep warm during the cooler months.
The Chowder Barge Next door to the Port of Los Angeles is the Chowder Barge , one of SoCal's most distinct and fun restaurants. Nestled in the main dining room is a custom hanging fireplace that keeps the floating room toasty. This family-friendly Wilmington spot has a long history and serves burgers, fish and chips, and more alongside its signature chowder.
Dear Jane's The side bar at Marina Del Rey’s Dear Jane’s has a similar 1960s throwback vibe to its Culver City sister restaurant Dear John’s . Head directly to the dimly lit, cherry wood-walled room with a brick fireplace, plush red velvet seating, and an old-school collection of paintings of women — a nod to the restaurant’s name. Sitting in the room with a classic martini and oysters Rockefeller might be the perfect move any night of the week.
