Father's Office. For some reason, we always seem to end up here, even though many times I try to think of somewhere else to go for a casual but high-end drink and and snacks..... but we end up going to Father's Office. There is just a perfect little niche that Father's Office seems to fill in the Los Angeles area that other joints don't seem to do as well.
I'm talking the kind of place you can waltz into in jeans and a t-shirt or whatever casual wear you happen to be sporting. A place that looks and feels hip and youthful and serves great beer without asking a lot from you, other than to wait in line and serve yourself for the most part. Father's Office has not only high end beers, but high end food as well, in a fun setting. It is a contrast to the thought of going to a snooty bar where you have to dress up and be fancy, only to have the choice between a martini and a glass of wine..... sometimes you really would rather have beer.
Yesterday when we went we enjoyed some of their delectable Californian and Belgian beers, along with crispy sweet potato fries, grilled octopus salad, and deep fried brussels sprouts. Yum!

Here's an interesting tidbit... the owner of Father's Office, Sang Yoon, gave Morihiro Onodera, the owner of Sushi Mori (who deservedly received 1 Michelin Star) advice on what beer, and white wine, to serve with his sushi. Morihiro claimed to only know about sake. I read this on Sushi Mori's website recently
Awesome - I didn't hear that Paul!
I heard that Sang is a very creative, knowledgeable chef and restauranteur.
