What People Are Saying About Well

The Scene
When the coziest lounge in Hollywood fills to capacity every night, what are the owners to do? Open up a new bar with a swankier vibe right around the corner, of course. Within walking distance of Daddy's, the Well maintains the sexy atmosphere of its predecessor, but adds a shot of sophistication. Keyhole doorways, intimate booths and cushy seating against one wall encourage a let's-get-to-know-each-other mood. Making new friends is easy because the jukebox volume is set low enough so you can actually hear what you're saying. Good thing, since it can be quite a mood-breaker when the songs switch from Sinatra to N.W.A. Get there early to pick your own soundtrack and order some finger food. Stick around when they dim the lights and you won't make it home until last call.
The Draw
Local 9-to-5 crowd mingles with sleek Hollywood players and the spillover from Daddy's.

My pros pretty much cover it . . . you can park on the south side of Sunset, you just need a little walk. Its better to walk off the stiff drinks anyway. Bartenders are pretty girls who are very nice, so be good to them. Music is loud and annoying, but really the only kink in the otherwise perfect atmosphere. Its a great place for those of us who slave in the industry. Happy Hour 6-9pm.

I've been to the Well twice this week since New Years. It has a great location, lighting, and seating. However the music is way too loud. You can't hold a conversation with the person sitting next to you in the booth because the volume from the speakers is high. For a place with so much going for it I can't believe the staff is letting this detail slide. Also, the music in the jukebox is dated. You'd think a place that's cutting edge would play hipper music. Come on this is LA.

I went here last night and it had a really great vibe to it. The circle bar was awesome, though they could've used one more bartender on. I waited nearly ten minutes just to get a soda. The bartender didn't even look at me and I'm not one of those pushy people. They have ample seating which is usually something lacking in most Hollywood venues but if you have back problems, beware. The backs of the booths are very far back and I couldn't reach it so I had virtually no support. Dark lighting, great music, overall a great place with cheap drinks and a good crowd.

Know Before You Go:
The Well is tucked away beneath House of Blues' corporate offices on Argyle. Look for the bouncer and stray smokers congregated outside the velvet rope.
Save Money:
Well drinks, specialty cocktails and appetizers are discounted weekdays from 6-9pm.
Look Good:
If the line's too long, walk around the corner to the Daddy's. Owned by the same people, it has a similar dark-lounge atmosphere.
