If you enjoy history and quotes, specifically pertaining to alcohol, then you’ll be ecstatic to read Ray’s Cocktails & Spirits menu, just as I was. Another nice addition to the menus is that the back of the menus are covered with patterns taken from the mid-century modern pattern archives at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where the restaurant is located.
Visit Ray’s and Stark Bar.
