What People Are Saying About Cameo Bar

In Short – Elegantly appointed with candles and white curtains, Viceroy's Cameo Bar evokes the decor of Westwood's W Hotel, but distinguishing details--like sophisticated, colonial-green and dark-gray paint--make a statement of their own. Named after the large white broach hanging above the reception area, the refined ambience gets a jolt of whimsy via retro-cool shag carpeting in the adjoining study. The real action, however, is usually found in the exclusive poolside cabanas.

HOT BARTENDER

by higbie

Went for the first time a couple of months ago and have been a regular ever since. The valets (although on the pricey side) are very considerate and the bartenders inside are polite even when slammed. My favorite is the outside bar where the bartender Sean (who's smoking hot btw) is calm, attentive and charming, he is certainly a reason to go there if you haven't already, the best mojitos in town.

  • Pros: Good looking Sean
  • Cons: Pricey

Hollywood style without Hollywood

by lafoholic

I love the Hollywood hotspots, but I can only take so much of the crowd and the tred over there (I live down in Marina del Rey). The Cameo Bar (@ The Viceroy Hotel) encompasses the chic and sophisticated atmosphere of some of Hollywood's bars without having to deal with the typical hassles that go along with them. Everytime I go, I have the best time. Indoor/outdoor bar, poolside, chairs to lounge, good convos, etc etc etc...all that you need for a great night.

  • Pros: Chic, chic, chic
  • Cons: none

Chic, chic, chic!

by elisehwall

I am a very big fan of Kelly Wearstler's work and every location I have visited has been pleasing to the eye. We met a group of 6 for drinks in the bar and of course got there early (about 6pm) to snag a nice couch and tables. The servers must pool their tips because they are all there to serve you. The beer menu is not that large, but they have a two page menu of unique mixed cocktails. If I was running the show, I would have loved to stay and eat at Whist. Maybe next time. Oh and the valet is very expensive. Another perk to getting there early is to find parking on the street. The meters are free after 6pm!!

  • Pros: Interiors, Mixed Drinks, Service
  • Cons: Pricey Valet
