What People Are Saying About Beauty Bar

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Double doors lead a steady stream of club-goers inside and onto the checkered dance floor of this 1960s beauty parlor, where henna tattoos and manicures are the only pampering services offered. Beers and cocktails flow at the bar while a friendly and unpretentious crowd lounges around hair dryer chairs, antique salon mirrors, a photo booth, jukebox and plastic-covered sofa. Resident DJs enter at 10pm and play '80s hits, rock-and-roll and pop grooves the rest of the night for a vibe that's gritty, yet accessible and cute.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Bring cash--credit card transactions require a minimum of $15. Just in case, there's an ATM in the hallway.
Fun Fact:
You can hit up Beauty Bars when you're on the road, too. There are six locations across the country, but the decor at each one is very different.
When to Go:
Head over between 6pm and11pm, Thursday through Saturday, for Martini Manicures--$10 martinis include your choice of a manicure or henna tattoo.

  1. The crowd can be heavily pretentious and disproportionately female, so it's not the kind of place you want to spend too much time, but do stay long enough for a manicure.

Thursday Nights are back!

by DeeDee86

Ok, so we got a flyer for a new club opening at Beauty Bar on Thursdays. The flyer had a pink british flag and called the club Love. We couldn't think of any other clubs to go to on a thursday so we decided to try it out. When we got there we saw some people we hadn't seen in over a year. I mean the place was packed. Cute boys bought me and my girls some drinks, we danced to an amazing mix of Rock, Pop, Soul, and 80's. Stuff that most Hollywood DJ's think they're too cool to play. The DJ was super hot and nice too, he played my request, "Last Night" by the Strokes, and they had a really cute asian photographer taking pics with a camera that was bigger than her. We were all wearing dresses so we gladly posed for a few!

We used to party here back in 08, the place has been dead since then until now. We made a bunch of friends, and will make it our Thursday spot. You really can't beat the cool vibe there.

  • Pros: Unpretentious crowd, great Dj, cheap drinks
  • Cons: sometimes it can be too crowded

dangerous

by LAexpectations

My friend and I visited the bar May 13. In addition, an individual named Thomas, who claimed to be the general manager of a nearby bar, was present with a girlfriend. That girlfriend provoked and attacked us in front of several witnesses. She had approached us several times

throughout the night to initiate a fight, under the false belief that we were taking secret photographs of Thomas. When it became clear we did not want any trouble and ignored her verbal attacks, she threw at

least one drink across the bar, which landed on several people on the dance floor including us. She then stomped over to my friend, where she was dancing on the dance floor, and grabbed her hair and began to throw punches. Her attack was quickly thwarted by several patrons; however, none of the Beauty Bar's staff came to help, nor did any of the bartenders alert management. Finally, Beauty Bar's manager, Bree Blumstein, came out of the back room upon my friend's

request. She was aware of the earlier provocations but had felt the woman's threats would remain verbal. She questioned several people, and when it became clear that the female was at fault, Ms. Blumstein lied to us and told us that Beauty Bar and the nearby bar were

"sister bars," and therefore, she could not reprimand the woman, since she was in the company of the nearby bar's general manager.

Ms. Blumstein had our drinks paid for and gave us her card as a token of goodwill but asked us to leave. We walked to the nearby bar to file a complaint and were informed that the two bars have no formal association. When we explained the situation to the doorman and

bartender (while waiting for the on duty manager to come out), both men groaned and said, "He's dating her again?!" She clearly does not have a good reputation.

Beauty Bar completely failed to address this dangerous situation. This woman should have been removed from the bar after it became clear that she was repeatedly verbally harassing us without provocation. Instead, this woman was allowed to remain in the bar and physically assault us. I'm assuming that the nearby bar's manager is a frequent patron, and therefore, the staff decided to turn a blind eye.

  • Cons: paranoid, psychotic patrons & apathetic managers
