Birds

Tucked under the Hollywood sign along Franklin Village’s bustling shopping strip, this dive bar/restaurant draws a young, cool crowd. The neighborhood is actually walkable, so locals wander over and get a patio table with their dogs. The rotisserie chicken is the signature dish, and there’s a $2 plate of boneless chicken just for dogs. Co-owners Mary and Henry Olek are big supporters of local animal rescues. So go ahead and order dessert—it’s all for the cause.
