At first glance -- youll probably not notice where Nighthawk Breakfast Bar is. If you look closely enough its hidden in The Restaurant Sadie. Youll then be greeted by an awesome doorman - and be asked what business you have -- the answer is Nighthawk. This place is amazing. Seriously amazing. The ambiance and music and the food (damn the food is delicious) and the drinks (youll want to try them all) all of it works. For its first opening night (160115) - it was crowded but still enjoyable. Everyone in there seemed to be having a jolly time / with the live music playing and people just enjoying each others company. Youll be greeted by friendly waiters/waitresses but if youre lucky youll meet Patrick the GM -- hes really chill and will definitely take care of you and get you seated in a timely manner. Our waitress Monika --- AWESOME!! Got our orders and was there to take care of us the whole evening. The food - Drunken French Toast - moist and delicious; get it if youre in need of something on the sweet side "Benedict" Fries - oh damn, this was perfect in itself. It tasted like a pepperoni cheese pizza with fries and topped with a fried egg--the perfection! Tower OBacon with a side of beer - candied bacon that hits both your savory and sweet palates at the same time & paired with a beer to make it oh so fancy. Chicken & Biscuits- oh damn the chefs in the back cooking this novelty item at Nighthawk. This was delicious as well and you could tell as we scraped every single piece of chicken / biscuit / gravy down our hatch to savor the yumminess that it is. Onto the booze!!! Their specialty is definitely the #SpikedCerealMilk - drinking two of these baddies is just so decadent. I was able to get the Cocao - Brandy masterpiece and drank it like a happy kid who was given their favorite candy. Slurp slurp slurp -- got seconds and was about to try the Fruity - Gin concoction but the waitress sadly said they had sold out. (This just means Im coming back again) Next tried their #JuliusMaximus drinks and got "The OG" and it was amazing --- smoothie with alcohol that is reminiscent of breakfast for champions lol Then ended the evening with a duo taste of "Irish Coffee" and the "Oaxacan Coffee" both having a distinctive taste that are perfect for coffee drinkers that like a little kick to their coffees. To end my rant - this place deserves all the hype its going to get from today onwards. A bar that highlights breakfast as its mainstay theme is just wonderful. I will definitely be returning here to try the rest of the #spikedcerealmilk and get seconds on the food.

Whats better than drinking at night? Boozin AND breakfast together! This hip bar is themed around the most important meal of the day: breakfast, but adds alcohol into the mix. Their drink specialties are traditional items like milk, juice, and coffee, but spiked with the judgment-inhibiting liquid courage we need to have fun in the city. They also have several breakfast items, to fill that hangover preventing craving that may hit you past 10 P.M. My friends and I sampled a variety of drinks and the breakfast tacos. I had the mint fernet float, which had Mexican coke, a scoop of mint chip ice cream, and a shot of mint fernet. It was sweet, light and refreshing, but I could barely taste any alcohol. I also tried a bit of the OG which was a orange juice/gin milkshake, refreshing but also light on the booze. Lastly my friend had the Oaxacan Coffee which had a little Irish Coffee liqueur but also a cinnamon stick- he said it was good and it had a nice aroma. The tacos were good but small, I liked the cilantro, pork belly, eggs and avocado. Next time Ill the milk (when I have lactaid), which mixes shots with dairy in those traditional bottles. For a breakfast lover and one who appreciates alcohol, this place did a solid job combining both worlds!

Great boozy brunch spot, but definitely make reservations for busy Saturday and Sundays. Spiked cereal drinks are a for sure needed beverage, nicely balanced alcohol with milky sweetness. Gravy and biscuits is good balance but definitely heavy so come with an appetite. Service is great all around from hostess to servers. I made a last minute reservation for 7 people and they were nice enough to accommodate me and called me back to confirm. Would definitely return and stay even longer if possible.

Very good food. Great drinks, classy atmosphere. The host Tony and waiter Steven were helpful, happy and attentive. I suggest a call ahead by at least a day. They will take walk-ins. However, they may turn away walk-in groups of 5 or more, can accommodate if you call ahead. Open air seating and comfortable music makes it energetic and fun. I would suggest this restaurant.

Good food and good drinks. My scotch egg (in the Pigs nest) was overcooked, but we went on memorial day so staffing was probably low. At least they were open! The manager was super nice and our other food and drinks were really good. Chorizo street tacos were good as expected and so were the Benedict fries. Def try the fries.

Food is very well prepared and wait staff is very attentive. Went for brunch after reading reviews and was not disappointed. Had the chicken and biscuits along with pancake side and breakfast burger. Everything was awesome. Coffee was fresh and good not great but not burnt or stale. OJ was of good quality with a full bar.

Awesome brunch spot with a really unique menu. Recommend making reservations for the weekend and holidays. We found a spot at the breakfast bar right when they opened on memorial day, but it was packed the entire time we were there. Food was awesome, drinks were awesome, and the service was great

My first time going to the Breakfast Bar was great. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was friendly.The food and spiked milk was amazing. I highly recommend this establishment to friends and family. However, I did not like that the meals could not be alter and only ordered as is.

My favorite restaurant in Los Angeles Period. The food is not only delicious but it is fun! The breakfast sandwich is out of this world, the cereal milk drinks are insane and the egg benedict fries will have everyone scraping the bowl clean. I cannot recommend Nighthawk enough!

Cute place visually. I had the chorizo tacos which lacked flavor. They were around $12 for 3 hand size tacos and nothing else. Way over priced for the amount of food and lack of flavor. There is also a lack of parking. Not going back and wouldnt recommend it.

breakfast for dinner and late night. interesting concept.. really missed the french viet restaurant that was here before. i see this place becoming more popular as more people discover it. a little pricey but the quality of the food is great.

Went in for brunch on Saturday. Parking was a little rough. The place is small but the vibe is cool. It was quite loud the whole time we were there. The food was awesome. Id definitely go back.

Great food, but after two visits, I have to say the service leaves a lot to be desired. Slow and at times unfriendly. Probably will keep coming, but only because the drinks are so good!

Very interesting bar. Cocktails are milk based and served inn milk bottles. Food is really interesting, breakfast themed dinner, get it?

Darius Chan

Nice menu of asian fusion-type food. Cocktails are decent. Vietnamese coffee cocktail was the better of the coffee drinks.
