    Why go

    Idle Hour is an easy yes for a casual North Hollywood group night, especially if the room matters as much as the drinks. Go for the restored 1941 barrel-shaped building, familiar Americana cocktails, approachable bar food, and walk-in-friendly format; skip it if the goal is a quiet, highly technical cocktail experience.
