Skywalker Grill@Lucas Museum Los Angeles ★★★

Skywalker Grill inside the New Lucas Museum. Officially opened on September 22. Amazing cocktails with great food. Server Andrew made good recommendations. Skywalker wines were low key available but not on menu. Museum members get 10% off. Booked out until 2-3 months after & impossible to make a reservation on Resy. "Good luck getting a table," as Eater LA said. Limited bar seating is available for walk-in earlier in the afternoon (not the dining room) but gets filled quickly. You do not need to have museum tickets to go to the restaurant if you have a reservation.
