Brought to you by TBC Hospitality Group: Bugatta - A NEW NEIGBORHOOD RESTAURANT & BAR In The Heart Of The Energetic Melrose Strip Melrose Avenue gets a sophisticated new nightlife destination with the opening of Bugatta Restaurant & Bar. Previously The Bungalow Club, owner Anta Escher decided to close her flagship establishment (Escher also owns Barbarella Neighborhood Bar & Kitchen in Silverlake) after 10 successful years. Now, after several months of renovation, Ms. Escher and TBC Management are ready to introduce an exciting new restaurant and bar. “The neighborhood has changed and the timing seemed right to start a new adventure,” explains Ms. Escher. “I felt after 10 years, it was time to head in a new direction—to create something relaxed and contemporary yet urbane and sophisticated. Bugatta captures the essence of what locals want: a great bar and lounge, amazing outdoor patio and a restaurant that’s elegant yet casual.” Ms. Anat Escher designed the interiors herself. Expansive doors now open up to the bustling corner of Melrose and Formosa giving an immediate urban feel, while intimate patio seating welcomes patrons in. The atmospheric outdoor restaurant & lounge contrasts with its airy, lofty feel. Intimate cabanas are swanked with light fabrics and mood lighting. The menu is designed to be a shared and social experience. Bugatta offers a wide array of tapas style choices, generous sushi rolls, as well as large dish options. We created this menu concept to satisfy the needs and preferences of all types of diners. Featured libations include the $10- 10oz Martini, as well as specialty cocktails, offered at $8. A large selection of beer on tap and a carefully curated wine list are also offered. Bugatta offers one of the city’s best Happy Hours. Generous hand crafted cocktails and premium wines are poured at $6, as well as artisan beers for $4, from 4pm-7pm Monday to Saturday.
