Summary: A luxe venue with a unique pawn shop entrance.
Beauty & Essex, a 10,000-square-foot venue in L.A., offers a unique dining experience that starts with a pawn shop entrance and unfolds into a luxurious restaurant and lounge space. The establishment features a striking interior with pearl chandeliers, ballerina figurines, and a 20-foot skylight, providing an opulent backdrop for a global menu that exceeds typical lounge fare. Guests can enjoy dishes like tuna poke wonton tacos, tomato tartare crostini, and seared scallops with pork belly. The outdoor dining options include a courtyard and second-level patio, adding to the allure. While the noise level can be high, the warm service and sophisticated atmosphere make it a hotspot for celebs and A-listers. The drink menu is equally impressive with smart cocktails like "The Woodsman" and a barrel-aged "Oaxacan Old Fashioned." Beauty & Essex is a testament to the TAO Group's ability to create a space that's both glamorous and comfortable, perfect for those looking to indulge in a little luxury.
