Black Market Liquor Bar

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.

Some menus ask you to choose. This one already did. Chef Antonia Lofaso — Tournament of Champions winner, Top Chef veteran, and the mind behind Black Market's kitchen for over a decade — has selected five dishes that define what this restaurant is. Not the newest dishes. Not the trendiest. The ones that earn their place on the table every time they leave the kitchen. Deviled Eggs. Hamachi. Fried Cauliflower. Korean Wings. Corn Ravioli. Shared the way they were meant to be — across a table, in a room with low light and a brick ceiling, with a drink in hand and nowhere else to be. This is a prepaid Experience. The kitchen knows what's coming. You just have to show up.

Most people don't know this room exists. That's the point. Tucked inside Chef Antonia Lofaso's kitchen, The Hide(away) Room is Black Market's private dining experience for those who want something the main dining room can't offer — complete privacy, a dedicated table, and a full menu that moves from the first bite to the last without asking anything of you except to show up. The menu covers the length of an evening. Dill chips and spring rolls to start. Smoked trout toast, fried cauliflower, chicken taquitos, and meatballs across the middle. Penne and skirt steak to anchor it. Sticky toffee to close. Chef Antonia's kitchen handles everything. One of LA's best bar program handles the rest. Your party has the room. Seats up to 14. Requires a minimum of 8 guests. $50 per person — no coordination, no back and forth. Book it, bring your people, and let the kitchen do the rest. What's Included: Exclusive use of The Hide(away) Room for the duration of your dining experience Full set menu — nine courses served family style A dedicated server for your party Welcome cocktail for each guest on arrival
