24-hour LA Restaurants: Eat Great Anytime

March 15, 2017

New York may be the city that never sleeps, but luckily Los Angeles has restaurants open all night for West Coasters who don’t want to sleep.  There’s plenty to eat in Los Angeles at any hour. These 24-hour LA restaurants never close, so you never have to go hungry.

Canter’s Deli

Canter's Deli is one of 24-hour LA Restaurants:

Want a pastrami sandwich at 2:00 am or matzah ball soup for breakfast? Canter’s has got you covered. One of the best known 24-hour LA restaurants, this West Hollywood Jewish deli lets you order anything off the menu at any time of day. The attached bar and live music venue, The Kibitz Room Cocktail Lounge, rocks until into the late hour of the night. After dancing, walk through the doorway for a midnight snack. Canter’s has been an LA staple since its opening in 1931 and has been feeding Angelenos around the clock ever since.

The Original Pantry Cafe

The Pantry is one of 24-hour LA Restaurants:

The Pantry has been around since 1924 and its tagline is “Never closed, never without a customer.”  The door sign boasts that the restaurant doesn’t even have keys. The downtown location has seen a lot of LA history since its opening in 1924. It’s served a lot of celebrities (its wall of fame includes Marilyn Monroe) and late night guests who are coming from a game at the nearby Staples Center. The Pantry is now owned by former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, so if you have any LA history questions, this is a great place to get them answered. Of course, it’s also a great place to eat pancakes and French toast whenever you want. Tip: bring cash, no checks or credit cards are accepted.

Today, you’ll spot Tommy’s by the long lines made up of the after-bar crowds throughout LA. The burger spot is such a part of Los Angeles culture that the city council gave the restaurant its own day “Tommy’s Day” on its 40th anniversary.
