Before
Pitfire PizzaThe first Pitfire, opened on this corner in 1997 and still the one the rest were copied from. You order at a counter, they call a number, and personal wood-fired pizzas and pasta come out to a patio and beer garden on the northwest corner of Lankershim and Magnolia. Beer and wine, paper napkins, no host stand. On some evenings there is trivia or a comic or a band in the garden.
7:00 PM · The Santa Switch
After
Brews BrothersForty-odd taps and about twenty bottles, pool tables, and enough games that people stay longer than they meant to. It sits mid-block on Lankershim in the middle of the theater district, which means the crowd after 10pm on a Friday is half people who were just at a show. Order at the bar. No table service worth waiting for.
