What People Are Saying About Normandie Room

The Scene
The Normandie Room feels more like a New York City artist's loft than a bar. It's small and funky, but gives off an immediately comfortable vibe. Once inside, the eye is immediately drawn to the expansive granite bar that seems to take over the entire room. A few tables line the 20-foot-high windows, offering an ideal spot for people watching inside or checking out the action outside on Santa Monica Boulevard. Late arrivals run the risk of getting stuck behind the pool table in the back with no room to move, much less make a bank shot.
The Draw
Although it's still technically a woman's bar, gay men and gay-friendly people are also frequent Normandie-goers. Expect music that's as varied as the crowd--everything from world beat to '80s New Wave classics keep the loyalists grooving and coming back for more.

Wow - I was a little sad when I saw the Normandie Room was closed down for a week or 2 - but now that it's re-opened, it looks amazing! It's the same bar, same vibe, same great bartenders, but looks like a brand new place! They did a great job fixing it up while keeping it the same. My friends and I couldn't be happier. We went both nights this past weekend - Friday & Saturday - and even with the pouring rain the place was packed. I think it's safe to say the Normandie is back. I just hope we don't have to start waiting in lines outside to get in. I've been going to this bar for years and am so happy that the place looks so good (and so did the ladies). BTW - thanks for not raising your prices either! ;)

Walked in on a Tuesday, and was greeted by a very friendly bartender. It ended up being Tuesday Trivia night, so much fun. I didn't win, but the girl who did got some crazy bar tab. I'll be back next Tuesday for sure! Great strong drinks and a really nice and friendly crowd. Both guys and girls. The bartender was pretty hot herself. ;) Great bar, I've walked by many times and I'm so glad I went in. I intend on making the Normandie Room my new local hangout.

The place is too crowded and the drinks are too high! The bartenders aren't very friendly, but the person at the door is worse. That all being said, it is a cool place to hang out with your friends. Bottom line - West Hollywood needs BETTER girl bars!!!!
