Located in Hollywood’s historic Max Factor building, the same one that hosts the Hollywood Museum and just around the corner from the Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Mels Drive-In is a popular spot for fun drinks and a great atmosphere. Located in the former building atrium, filled with lights from the glass ceiling, the restaurant is not actually a drive-in, but retains many of the traditional touches such as colorful banquettes, neon signs, tabletop jukeboxes, brick walls, and a traditional American menu of everyone’s favorites. While you are waiting for your burger, check the photos of Hollywood celebrities on the walls. The bar is famous for hosting many celebrities who come for one of Mels famous cocktails or to hang out with friends in this Hollywood icon.
