Homelessness is no laughing matter…and neither are your hunger pains. We'll leave the jokes up to the comedians, but for where to grab a bite and bev before or after the show, well, that, that's our specialty. Here's a list of nearby (read: walkable) eats and drinks around the Arclight (with a few happy hours thrown in for good measure). 

Alexander's Steakhouse"Now for the bar menu, they have the Wagyu burger with a 9oz patty cooked and perfectly medium rare! Keep this up, next year they may be able to de-throne Petit Trois for the best burger in LA. The potatoes on the side are also not to be missed! During the "social hours" 5-6:30, many of the appetizers are largely discounted." – Eunice C

Bodega Wine Bar"Bodega Wine Bar hits the spot for happy hour deals…5-7pm and 10pm to close, Sunday to Thursday…my friend and I ordered the pepperoni and mushroom gluten-free pizza and were amazed by the flavor. It was delicious, to say the least! We had a moment of silence to pig out on the pizza." – Sandy L

El Cholo Cafe"Very good tableside guacamole. Good hot sauce. Margaritas are the bomb." – Terry O

Lunasia Dimsum House

"Dim Sum at anytime of the day? Genius!" – Victor L

Nine & Nine Thai

"A must-get on the special menu is the shrimp and scallop in garlic and pepper. Thumbs up for the light, crispy batter and great seafood. We also had the Thai green curry (chicken), which was not too spicy and full of tender chicken. This went so well with rice, so we cleaned the curry bowl out in a jiffy." – Valerie L

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse"Basically it's an $8 Sips & Sizzle deal, where all the happy hour food and drinks are $8…My personal faves were the spicy lobster and the burger and fries, and the zucchini fries that came with the crab BLT. " – Jamila V

Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana"The main reason we continue to go: their happy hour. It's pretty great. I cannot remember what time it starts, but it ends at 6:30pm daily. They have a whole happy hour menu with food and their drinks are like half the price." – Athena M

The Coolhaus Shop"Cute ice cream place in Old Town Pasadena. It's located in the same building as Pie Hole and Pressed Juicery. They have very unique flavors: maple/waffle, brown butter bacon, moonshine, whiskey to name a few" – Grace C
