I usually take a pass on press/media dinners that aren’t billed as beer-centric but I hadn’t been to the Federal Bar in NoHo for too long and felt it was time to see if I could covertly add some craft beer to my Dine L.A. menu.
dine L.A. is the excuse you need to check out different restaurants that you have been meaning to eat at but just haven’t done it. And for the craft beer fan, it is a great way to see how different beers pair with a set course of dishes.
You get two courses at lunch and three at dinner so you can get a couple of beers of different styles and then see which one works the best with your appetizer, main course or dessert.
The Federal Bar offered up a wide array of options that you can get with dinner such as the MCO Burger (moo-cluck-oink), short ribs, fish, mac and cheese and a pair of desserts.
Beer fans will note that they have some of the Fat Tire collabs on tap as well as new to LA, Laurelwood Brewing. If you wanted to get super pricey, there were some Garage Project ales too.
Restaurant Week takes place over July 18-31, 2016, including weekends and the prices are as follows:
Lunch (2+ Courses): $15, $20, $25
Dinner (3+ Courses): $29, $39, $49, $95+ (dineL.A. Exclusive Series)
