Barney's Beanery • 1920

Route 66 runs straight through this raucous West Hollywood institution, where Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison once nursed beers beneath license plates and neon signs starting in 1920. The menu sprawls across more than 700 items—from legendary chili to towering burgers—and the beer list rivals any serious tap house. Pasadena's outpost captures the same rock 'n' roll spirit that made the original a Hollywood landmark for nearly a century.
