Novelty

by Seashell1806

L2 has been around forever, a fixture for those pioneers who didn't have a hang out, a place close to their newly renovated home. Yes, the menu is outdated, however, if you enjoy hanging out with locals, a night out with neighbors, sipping a cocktail, then try the bar.

• Pros: Friends, bar, music.
• Cons: Menu, if your there to eat!

OK neighborhood place

by NicoleP

L2 is a pretty decent place in the neighborhood (which I object to another reviewer characterizing as a "dismal" or "depressing" part of town. No, we're not Rittenhouse Square, but this isn't exactly a wasteland a few blocks South!) The dining room decor is fun in a funky, crazy-old-aunt sort of way. I've had no complaints about the food, beyond the fact that the menu seems stuck in the 1980s and they are frequently out of even these standard items. The wine list is my biggest beef - a short selection and rarely seems to reflect what they have in stock! One night I went and the only white wine they had by the bottle was a Cali chardonnay. I've even had the waiter say "Oh, I don't know why that's still on the menu - we haven't had that wine for ages!"

I know it sounds like I'm complaining a lot, but I still like the place well enough for what it is. If you stick with basics like the steak, or whatever fish special they have for the day, you're likely to have a good meal. Just stick with ordering mixed drinks instead of trying to find something on the wine list!

• Pros: Atmosphere, relaxing
• Cons: dated menu, unavailbility of items

Great neighborhood joint!

by NLescaped

I like L2. A lot actually. It has a lot going for it. It's near my house, it's very gay friendly, and the drinks are cheap! The staff for the most part are very friendly and relaxed. (Thank goodness the old bartender is gone-horrible!)

I like coming in here and just chilling at the bar and talking to the regulars. The drinks are really well priced and the regulars are funny as hell! The food is OK, not anything to go crazy over, but pretty good. The decor... well a bit dated. Sorry guys! Whoever does the decorations for the holidays, should be beaten with a big stick! Pretty awful.

Overall, i do recommend this place, stop by when your in the hood!
