Your Chef-Driven Experience, Elevated. Black Market Liquor Bar is the Studio City room where dinner and drinks stopped being separate plans a long time ago. Chef Antonia Lofaso, trained at the French Culinary Institute and sharpened through six years at Spago, built a small plates menu that works alongside a cocktail program.The bar matches the kitchen beat for beat. Cocktails lean amaro-forward and technique-driven, built by operators who understand that the drink next to the plate should make the plate better. Ordering "dealer's choice" is common here, and the bartenders read your tempo before making the call. Founded by Mario Guddemi and Salvatore Aurora, Black Market sits on the same operating backbone as Scopa Italian Roots, The Chestnut Club, and Old Lightning. Studio City dining built to keep you in one seat all night. That is the point, and Black Market has been proving it since 2011.

The Local Peasant in Sherman Oaks is the Ventura Boulevard pub that solved the tradeoff most bars force you into. Loud game bar or quiet dinner. Fast service or decent food. Kid-friendly early or adult-focused late. This room handles all of it without changing its behavior, and it has been doing it for 15 years running.The kitchen and bar operate under the same standards the founders learned running high-volume rooms in New York, then sharpened at Scopa Italian Roots and Black Market Liquor Bar. Dishes land on the menu because they hold structure and temperature on a line that never stops moving. The pork belly keeps its caramelized edge through a full rush. Wings come out with consistent heat. The pretzel arrives warm with the right chew. Fish and chips stay crisp, and fries hit the table the way fries should. 14058 Ventura Boulevard in the heart of Sherman Oaks. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 4 to 6 PM. Weekend brunch fills the room on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Food was consistent and enjoyable, especially the fried chicken and the saucy meat dishes. It leans more fusion than traditional Korean BBQ, but it hits the right notes if you're there for Korean-inspired comfort food..

First time guest. Exceeded expectations for service and food quality. Great atmosphere. Our server, Lisa did an outstanding job. Peri peri chicken was very delicious. The chicken sandwich and spring chicken salad were a hit as well. The next time we’re in Burbank will be back. We will look at other location options as well
