Two Dollar Bill's Bistro

was created in 1971 by William J. Dalziel on Franklin Avenue in the heart of Hollywood. It had an early health food/coffehouse menu with beautiful stained glass windows made by Bill Dalziel. Frequented by local musicians and artists, the eatery was staffed by struggling actors, singers, and writers. It became a very popular venue for known musicians (Chick Corea, Stevie Wonder) as well as unknown bands. Once a week comedy evenings included Sam Kinneson, Carl LaBove, and many others who got their start at Two Dollar Bill's against the soundtrack of the 70's.





Bill is an artist, designer, general contractor who opened the restaurant the same month as the birth of his son, Zachary Dalziel. He also has son Shawn Dalziel and two daughters.
