Editorial Review for CODA – by Lilla Zuckerman
In Short
That lone black-clad bouncer fronting a Sherman Oaks alley marks the oddball entrance to this lively and unpretentious club. Inside, it's more like a pleasantly cramped downtown New York club, than a bunker-sized joint hidden among West Valley car dealerships. A long mirrored bar runs the length of one side of the club, and an elevated lounge area scattered with ottomans and booths makes for a shadowy spot perfect for canoodling.

Insider Tips
Look GoodIf you don't feel like braving the bar, a cocktail waitress will approach and take your order. But let them find you: They're dressed normally, don't carry trays and look like your average clubgoer.
ParkingThere is always plenty of free curb space in the Valley, and parking is free along Van Nuys and Magnolia.
The ExtrasSmokers, head back to the sleek tented patio.
Save MoneyAdmission is free if you stop by before 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays ($10 after 10pm). Doors open at 9pm.

I have not been to CODA bar yet, but I am happy to hear there is a bar walking distance from my house. I needed to say something to the person that wrote about the "bad neighborhood." First, let me tell you the bar is not located in Van Nuys, but in Sherman Oaks. Second, Sherman Oaks is not "the hood" as you said and third, the street around the corner is Chandler...does it ring a bell? Chandler, where you can find the famous Chandler Estates....It's obvious you didn't drive around the neighborhood quite yet, but for everybody else, the neighborhood is quiet, very nice and safe. I was pleasantly surprised to hear we have at least one bar to walk to and I am planning to check it out. Hood dude, you should honestly drive around Chandler (just around the corner of the bar), so you can see the nice houses around the area...I bet you can even afford them!

I am a little offended that a reviewer commented on the "bad neighborhood" surrounding this bar. I live around the corner, and have to strongly disagree. The neighborhood is made up of mostly single family homes, with a park nearby. The houses are kept in shape, and lawns are well manicured. It is quiet, and in my frequent night time jogs, I have never felt threatened in any way. In fact, the only disturbance our neighborhood has is from the occasional drunk patrons of the bar screaming on the streets and blasting crappy music from their equally crappy cars. Please be respectful of this neighborhood and the fact that several of my neighbors have young children that need their rest. But I wouldn't worry about encountering muggers and thieves on your walk from the bar to your car!
