I like the interior feel of Bluebird Brasserie on Ventura Boulevard. The outdoor patio, the stone walls, just enough dark. And apparently, they are doing an early Halloween in conjunction with Dirk Rogers to create a spooky scene, filled with Belgian beers. The frights start April 1st (hoping I am not being taken in by a hoax, yet again) so you can visit before the middle of the month or in April.
