It’s easily the swankiest place in town. If you just got out of some charity benefit, or the symphony, or some other affair that requires you to dress up and you’re looking for a martini, then the Martini Bar at Chandler‘s Steakhouse is probably where you’re headed.
Beg your pardon… it’s probably actually called (deep breath) The Martini Bar at Chandler’s Steakhouse inside Hotel 43. Which makes the name of this joint about as complicated as the 10 minute martini their “Master Mixologist” (their term, not mine) makes. Why it takes 10 minutes to turn a regular ol’ Martini into an extra special neat-o one I don’t know… I didn’t have it… but it did win the local Martini mix-off competition last year.
There’s over 250 wines on their list, but good God, who’s really looking around at their table and debating over the $500 Cab and the $143 bottle of Chardonnay? And who knew they even MADE $143 bottles of Chardonnay? I’m sure some of you did.
The entire place has this tinge of blue light, it’s immaculately decorated and on most nights there’s live jazz that’s been, as they say, “hand picked” by their musical director.
This place has a musical director. Try and wrap your brain around that.
It is nice and I will go back, but it has always lacked something to me. Certainly not syllables being that it’s only competition in that category would be the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Maybe the Martini Bar at Chandler‘s Steakhouse inside Hotel 43 could use some thunder sticks, a rally monkey, and Mike Scioscia.
