Electric Owl is an American Restaurant and Cocktail Bar known for its tasty martinis and famously delicious cheeseburgers. Situated on a triangular plot of land that used to be an old train station, the 1920's decor pays homage to its Old Hollywood and Pacific Electric Car roots. 'Electric Owl' was actually a nickname given to the nighttime train conductors from the early 1900's. Located on Sunset Boulevard, Electric Owl is the brainchild of Chef and Restauranteur, Ernesto Uchimura.

Poor service, rude bartender and way over priced. There's an additional charge for lime juice in your drink!

Great energy, FOH attentive and hit all the points of quality; the vodka penne was remarkably good. My advice, try the prefix in the box car room.

I had read some other reviews online, so was excited to check it out. But it just wasn't what I had hoped- the dining room has no sound absorption, so was quite loud with just a few tables going.

It’s a shame they’ve removed so many of the crowd pleaser menu items that built its reputation. Prices have increased while the food quality has dropped. This was a neighborhood gem but I’d just go for the drinks and great staff instead.

I felt terrible for the staff working there, this experience was not what we were expecting. The menu that is on the website is not what is actually offered once you get there. We got there at 7:00 on a Saturday Night and the place was dead. We felt bamboozled by their social media posts and their website. We ordered drinks and two appetizers, the artichokes were undercooked and the other dish was bland. I will say the drinks were great. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere for dinner, but we felt horrible for the staff as we left because it seems this is a common occurrence.

Interesting and delicious food options. Meatballs and shishito peppers were wonderful. Service could not be more friendly and helpful. Cheers to the Cocktails!

The food I had was great (tomato Carpaccio). They only had a limited menu, of only some appetizers and two entrees which were the burger and wings on the menu (both of which I dint eat). I asked the server when the regular menu would be available and at first said, "next week." then when I asked again he said he didn't know. Sadly, sounds like stuff is going on. Great spot though.
