Editorial Review for Barcopa – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
The owners of the Room expanded their nightlife vision with another bass-heavy hipster hang on the Westside, enlivening this once lackluster space known as the Pink and the Mix. A word-of-mouth ethos--no sign, no advertisements--and a low-lit, cave-like interior carries on the tradition of the Room, but also adds flair with its shades of deep red, worn wood and exposed brick. A narrow bar runs down the side, leading to a DJ booth and lounge area. The contempo couches and tables in back are cast aside when the DJs deliver a hot and heavy dose of classic hip-hop, soul and rare groove.
The Draw
The inviting music and casually dressed crowd sets a laid-back, yet versatile vibe where you can chat, chill or cut it up. The underground appeal and oceanside locale attracts a geographically diverse crowd of beach babes, city slickers and urban scenesters.

Barcopa is a surprisingly small place that manages to pack in a full house during weekends. It's a safe bet to get there early because you could wait in line for a while. The drinks are stiff but you'll pay santa monica prices, the dj's usually play an eclectic set of genres but the vibe is what will keep you there.

This place is known for it's good music and vibe. The drinks are priced and made well complemented by a friendly and attractive looking staff. Hard to see at first but a good time, my friends and I always have our birthdays there and the specialty drinks are to die for.
Pros: Good times
Cons: gets packed
