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.
