"Tucked along an otherwise suburban-coded stretch of Eagle Rock, Capri Club, an aperitivo bar and sometimes-Italian restaurant, has become one of Northeast Los Angeles's most reliable gathering spots - equal parts neighborhood haunt and see-and-be-seen destination. It draws bohemian layabout kickbacks, "creative-type" dates, and happy-hour debriefs in equal measure, managing to be relentlessly scene-y and genuinely laid-back at the same time. On any given evening, the sidewalk outside fills up"
"If you're a martini lover - newly converted or long committed - Capri Club keeps things refreshingly streamlined. Choose gin or vodka; dry, wet, or dirty; and let the bartenders handle the rest. The Salty Snack is a briny delight for hardcore dirty martini lovers; infused with olives, capers, and peppercorns and brightened with lemon and dill, it lives up to its name."
"A perfect food order for two: a crisp little gem Caesar, an order of the rich and gooey cacio e pepe arancini, and a plate of rigatoni with sausage ragu. If you're especially hungry - or if a third (or fourth... or fifth) friend materializes - add lightly crunchy fried calamari with anchovy aioli or mortadella with Bub & Grandma's bread."
Capri Club sits along a suburban stretch of Eagle Rock and functions as an aperitivo bar and occasional Italian restaurant, blending neighborhood comfort with a scene-y atmosphere. The crowd ranges from designers and musicians to thirtysomething parents, and the sidewalk often fills with patrons enjoying negroni slushies and shared plates. The drink program centers on streamlined martinis—gin or vodka, dry, wet, or dirty—and vermouth-forward spritzes and negroni variations, including the briny Salty Snack martini infused with olives, capers, peppercorns, lemon, and dill. Recommended dishes for two include a gem Caesar, cacio e pepe arancini, and rigatoni with sausage ragu, with fried calamari and mortadella as add-ons.
