What People Are Saying About Carbon

The Scene – Carbon is a breath of fresh air for the fast-growing Westside scene. Located at a former neighborhood eyesore, Sloppy Joe's, this low-lit lounge has the funky feel of Hollywood hang, the Room, when it was "the" underground hot spot. The similarities aren't purely coincidental, considering Carbon's two owners were longtime Room employees. A narrow, hallway-like interior is flanked by a padded, steel-top bar and a mirrored back wall. Comfy couches conducive to conversation and shoulder shrugging occupy the middle, along with a tiny DJ area. Video monitors screening silent…
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- The rear parking lot fills up quickly, but street parking is usually abundant after 7pm.
- The Extras:
- Drop off your mix tape at the bar. The owners are always looking for new talent to man the turntables.

A real dive
by mzjimmy at Citysearch
This is not a club it is a bar. I went one night. Won't return. The ladies room look like the ladies room at a gas station. This place was a place for loser who want to think that they went to a club. The dj ssucked big time.
- Pros: no cover charge
- Cons: small

WORKOUT
by r6ready at Citysearch
It's truly a workout once you get inside it's hot as 'HELL", but if you came to dance like your suppose to in a club your good. . No dress code so it's not the "Hollywood" spot, No fakes. Now getting there early is not the issue, It's not packed till 11*00 11*30. Everyone working there is very chill. Drinks are very well made and cheap. Friday nights are hot, very live. My girls and I are there when we just can't decide what to do, but when ever I just want to go dance and have a good time this is it. I've been there Tuesdays and Saturday and always enjoy my nights.
- Pros: Music is always good, crowd is always mixed.
- Cons: Small inside and Hot.
fun chill atmosphere
by dr2096 at Citysearch
This is a great chill place to go and enjoy the good selection of music. As soon as you enter you feel completely relaxed and ready to enjoy the night. It's a bit tight with space but it creates an intimate setting like typical New York bars. The dance floor is a small square but there is ample room for dancing, on or near the dance floor. The bartenders were cordial and attentive. The people there were incredibly diverse but by the end, though, there appeared to be more of a hip hop crowd on the dance floor, especially once the old school hip hop songs started playing. I loved it and definitely will go back there soon.
- Pros: Ambience, Parking, Music, Lounge
- Cons: Small
