Happy hour alert: Oliverio at Avalon Hotel
Oliverio at Avalon Hotel. From Curbed LA.
Oliverio, the restaurant that took over the old Blue on Blue space at the Avalon Hotel last fall, now has a twice-weekly happy hour. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Oliverio’s bar and cocktail menus are half-off, which means all cocktails are $7 instead of the regularly priced $14. The Lombardia made with bourbon, apple, cinnamon and orange sounds good to me (I love bourbon!). Food includes a goat cheese and black summer truffle pizza for $11 (normally $22) or truffle and parmesan fries for $4 (normally $8).
Note: I haven’t been to the Avalon’s restaurant since it was Blue on Blue under Chef Scott Garrett. Now that the space is Oliverio under Chef Mirko Paderno, I’ll have to go back and check it out.
I kinda love this place.. but the chef switcheroos are getting kinda old…
Good to know! Been venturing out to downtown more lately so I’ll definitely have to check it out.
Jennie: It’s not downtown. It’s on Olympic Blvd. in Beverly Hills!
