The Wolf & Crane team cracked open the old Lost Knight into an airy classic barroom with the first sidewalk seats on this stretch of Sunset. Mai tais and palomas made fast, a generous beer list, the Lowboy Special (a Coors stubby and a shot of Old Grand-Dad), smash burgers and Old Bay popcorn.
Walk-inWalk in and eat at the bar. Burgers come out of the kitchen until late.

Weekdays between 4 and 6 for happy hour, or Saturday afternoon at the sidewalk tables before the room fills.
