An authentic slice of Old Hollywood glamour and history. It almost felt as if Betty White, Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe were going to show up for girls night. Wonderful vide.Parking: Please read the parking sighs carefully

Excellent cocktails - a huge number to choose from! The servers kindly made space for our party of 10. Live music was really fun. A classy, dimly lit jazz bar vibe.

First visit to what is a fairly local bar and eatery (under $10 by Uber). We loved the authentic vibe of an old Hollywood bar and restaurant.The decor is not perfect, but genuinely channels the glory years of LA and Tinseltown. The music playlist is epic, the sound system not perfect, but again this is the joy of Dresden. We ate in the bar and the food was well prepared and presented, no delays and served by a happy and charming team. While there’s always a great new spot in the city being recommended, we know half will close within a year. We say visit Dresden, enjoy the real vibe of Hollywood, have fun with well priced cocktails and food and keep a great place going for decades more. Make it your local!

One of the classiest establishments Los Feliz has to offer. The service, the food and the ambience are excellent. The lounge area is very nice. The live jazz in the lounge is exceptional and the cocktails are perfect. The ambience is very chic and you will feel the old Hollywood glamor seeping into every aspect of the experience! We spent our last evening in LA here with a great 3-course dinner. Everything tasted great and El was on point. The wine and cocktail were also great.

I miss Marty & Elaine.We were there one night with another couple. We were nicely dressed as is befitting The Dresden Room. Although M&L were no spring chickens Elaine was knocking the high notes into outer space and Marty was groove master extraordinaire.We were situated right there at the piano bar. When they took a break I said to them, "You know, you guys are far-out." Marty seemed to really like that and they both gave us a wink.We (same two couples) went back a year or so later and when Marty saw us he said, "Hey, look who's here- it's Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice!"That's a night that I'll never forget.

Had such a blast here last night. I am surprised that I had 5 martinis though. How in the h....?It was such a fun time. Great service, great drinks and the food was great. At about 9 a jazz band came one and performed. It was such a nice vibe.I've been here a few times so new what to expect and they didn't disappoint.

Came here last minute for NYE. Place was alive with a great band and full house of friendly and classy people. It’s a great spot with a swanky appeal. Cozy booths and a friendly, beautiful staff that fits the Restraunt’s image. Our waiter, who not only resembled Antonio Banderas but also had the charm and manners as well was beyond our expectations. Filet Mignon was perfect and so was their Old Fashion. Looking forward to our next date night dinner.

Christmas at The Dresden is more or less Christmas at prison. The food is horrendous. But the service, that bartender named Mark F. (yes, that ’dude’ with the mustache) is one ruthless little pig. And this was today, Christmas Day, so imagine it on any other day…Seriously, the food has never been the Item here - this place has always been about the venue. And personally, we have had nice experiences over the years, but, with the service we received today, we are never setting foot there again. For those customers that do return over and over, however, please have some respect for them, hire a ‘real’ chef, and fire that SOB in your bar. Merry Christmas to you as well.
