MAD MEN (AMC TV) BARS & RESTAURANTS - LOS ANGELES FILMING LOCATIONS

"Mad Men" is definitely my favorite Television show ever! Mad Men's Matthew Weiner is obviously a genius. Hope he does many more "Period Pieces" for TV and the Movies. If you like this website, you'll the Mad Men TV show (so fans of this site are hereby commanded to watch it!). It just blew me away that they would shoot scenes in Mad Men in places like The HMS Bounty restaurant, The Prince Korean Restaurant, Musso and Frank's, Cicada, the Biltmore Hotel, the Los Angeles Theater and Casey's Bar. What other TV show would do that! The costume and set design are utterly perfect, all of the actors are sublime, great music, and of course great stories - why do you think the show has won so many "Golden Globes". If I were king, Mad Men's location scouts should be getting a Golden Globe and Emmy Award. While the first episode (the pilot) was filmed in New York (where the story takes place), many may not realize that Mad Men (AMC TV) is now filmed in my favorite city (with all due respect to the "Big Apple") - Los Angeles. While these bars and restaurants are found on my bar and restaurant pages - I thought I would put the "Mad Men" filming sites all together here. Of course "Mad Men" is the copyrighted name of the Television show. This site is not in any way affiliated or approved by the show and/or AMC TV (and this is a strictly non-commercial site - well - one unpaid commercial - so I ain't making any money off of this!). I'm just a big fan! See my Google Map for these locations:

Fellow Mad Men fans: ever want to drink where Don and Roger drink? How'd you like to spend the night in the hotel where Sal almost "got bizzay" with that oily bellhop? Now you can. The site linked above lists almost all of the actual, real-world locations where the producers of AMC's Mad Men film the show's bar and restaurant scenes. Most of the places are in the Los Angeles area, but have that New York look and feel. (The Belvedere Hotel, Don and Sal's home away from home in 3/1, is still in Baltimore, Maryland.)

I have actually been to a couple of these places (I have had Manny Aguirre's drinks at Musso and Frank's, for example) and in my experience they are worth a visit.

This site, although a bit amateurish in layout, is a treasure-trove of information and interesting lore. You can spend hours going through all the pages. Definitely an office time-killer!

I definitley do not want to drink what they drink or when they drink.

3 PM at the office knocking back Seagram's 7 neat. Yikes!

I’d like to have a drink or two with Christina Hendricks (hey, a man can dream can’t he?).

[B-Chan]

The word “knockout” was invented for Ms. Hendricks. She is what a woman is supposed to look like. She’s no Mrs. Chan, of course, but still easy on the eye.

I’d like to ply January Jones with belt-fed martinis and then ride her like a 20 dollar mule...

LOL (literally)

What Would Don Draper Do?

Don's breakfast of champions is Canadian Club.

I think the pertinent question is...where does Joan want to drink? Because that’s where I want to drink. And no, I don’t particularly want to stay where Sal almost “got bizzay” with that oily bellhop. Although the jokes about that situation pretty much write themselves.

HMS Bounty Restaurant

The HMS Bounty is such a cool place to go for drinks!

I agree with you 100%.

I was SO happy when Mad Men came back on this season...even happier when “Joan” appeared in her first scene this season!
