What People Are Saying About 4100 Bar

Featured Review

Contributor

In Short – While 4100 isn't as sleek as their Hollywood lounge, it's just as hot. A red oblong bar sits in the middle of this spacious room, while hanging tapestries keep things cozy. Tables covered in intricate dragon patterns and black booths line one wall, while a bigger-than-life Buddha watches over the gay, straight and bi crowd. Corner couches provide the perfect spot for capturing your own dragon for the night. Just make sure to lean in for a good look--it's too dark in here to leave anything to risk. – –

Editor's Tips

Parking:
The small lot in front and neighboring streets fill up fast. Take a chance in the mechanic's lot next door, or look west of the club on Santa Monica.
The Extras:
Bartenders take their drink-making talents seriously. If you're not happy with your drink, politely let them know and they'll probably remix it to your preference.
Look Good:
If you don't like what you see, use the jukebox as a getaway excuse--it's loaded with everything from Guns N' Roses to Michael Jackson to the Velvet Underground.

The 4100 is cool like Silver Lake.

by A Bomb

I love the 4100. It's a stand alone bar/club that does it's own thing just like Silver Lake does. Hipsters are here, yes, but posers no. Cool vibe.

  • Pros: Good beer, great Silver Lake vibe, cool decor
  • Cons: Drinks aren't cheap but what is?

One of my favorite bars

by mrgoodbar

All the beers on tap are some of my personal favorites, and they are all priced right. All of the staff is attractive and friendly, and the crowd is usually very chill.

Don't try to go on the weekend after about 9:30-10pm unless you enjoy standing in the walkway of the bar and have to move every second for someone to squeeze by and spill a drink on you. I don't wanna hate, but a seat is pretty crucial due to the layout and snagging them early is the key....

  • Pros: beer selection and prices
  • Cons: can get packed on weekends
