Venue Features

The scene:: Once upon a time, people liked to eat steak.

With scotch.

In public.

Like they’ll do again at Mama Lion, an impressively attired supper club named for a former tenant here.

You’ll go here when a stylish Koreatown night out that doesn’t necessarily require Korean food sounds appealing. A man in a suit will greet you, like the old days, before you’re squired to a seat around the gleaming bar.

It’d probably be prudent to pick from the 80 scotches to drink. Unless a Rusty Nail will get you there faster. Next, uni toastadas and truffle white bean hummus will be summoned from someone in a little black dress, forewarning the cast-iron prime NY steak your heart’s been set on.

And there you’ll dally. Drinking drinks. Amusing confidantes. Left foot moving to the band as they provide steak-and-whiskey-appropriate ambiance.

Right foot just kind of bashfully sitting there.

Standout venue features:: Framing various elements of the space and incorporating gem-toned materials and textures, the design creates a seductive setting for the ultimate supper club experience.
