Lexington Social House

Lexington Social House, (1718 Vine St., Los Angeles, 90028; 323.461.1700) is a new restaurant and lounge booking private parties before its public opening in a few weeks. So gather everyone for a feast of Steak Tartare, Confit Pork Belly with Earl Grey-infused bourbon and Hitmans (made with moonshine and rosemary) in the tin-ceilinged dining room while sitting on five-legged Queen Anne chairs. After dinner, head to the central bar, while the crowd spills into the towering brick lounge, where a DJ spins under wrought-iron chandeliers. Or head to the lush courtyard patio out back and grab a drink at the second bar around the fire.
