What People Are Saying About Bar 1200

Featured Review

Alison Kramer

Contributor

In Short – Tucked discretely within a just-south-of-Sunset boutique hotel, this velvet-roped alcove admits only hotel guests and their VIP invitees. Ornately framed photos of Roger Daltry and Ozzy Osbourne add an old-school edge to the revamped space, which maintains its elegance through warm gold lighting and sleek white couches. With enough space for 45 normal people--or 150 supermodels/rock star arm candy--the intimate room spills onto a relxed patio, where posh crowds puff cigarettes, swill ultra-premium liquor, and schmooze screenplays in the shadow of the Strip.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Arrive before 10pm or go with stylish women. Otherwise, unless you're staying at the hotel or know someone who is, it's tough to get in.
Parking:
Valet parking caters to hotel guests--bar patrons can park at the Sunset Millennium Plaza on the corner of Sunset and Alta Loma.
What to Drink:
Monthly drink specials spotlight seasonal flavors like the refreshing paloma, with tequila bianco, fresh grapefruit and lime juices.

Phenomenol!

by mcomerchero

I went there last night for my birthday and brought a group. The management was amazing, the staff was not only prompt but very fun. Steve was a true gentleman host and treated us remarkebly. The vibe of this place is perfect, very relaxed. The music is great but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. All in all a great time.

Great place, ambience, music, tasty munchies.....just a really nice experience!

by ultraman1

This place is really cool, its like being at your own joint but treated better! No stinking promoters, great music that will make you want to start downloading and the action is sweet. When you least expect it ...expect it..get to see stars in a comfortable element with no hosh posh attitude. I also dig the munchies and the staff are a riot,,Thanks to Steve and his crew, we had a blast! When you got it,,,you got it...and they have it!

  • Pros: Music, ambience, anonymity, great burger.....cool servers and tasty boozer(s)
  • Cons: They're not into,,,,do you know who I am,,,!
