Fatty’s Public House, (829 N. La Cienega blvd., West Hollywood, 90069; 310.854.0756) is the new American place from BRG restaurant group, (the guys behind Brick + Mortar and Smoke). The former Oak Fire Pizzeria & Pub has a new open facade with a retractable roof, tons of TVs, and Southern dishes like shrimp corn dogs with curry ketchup; hush puppies with mole rojo; hot dog mac & cheese fritters; veal tongue sandwiches; scallops with pea, bacon and onion ragout; and fried green tomatoes (my fav).
More into the darkness? Inside, it’s darker with velvet booths. So grab a sexy corner and try the Fatty homage cocktail called the Coney Island (a watermelon cooler with Absolut, cucumber, lime and honey). Plus, there are Twelve beers on tap range from Green Flash IPA to Mama’s Little Yella, and a large list of reds and whites for all you winos. Open daily from 11 am-2 am.
