What People Are Saying About Match

Featured Review

In Short – Brought to NoHo by the impresarios behind Studio City's still-hot hangout Firefly, this lofty neighborhood bar takes over the former Thunderbird Saloon. Consisting of a single high-ceilinged room done up in classic colonial style, this dimly lit, elegant venue is accented by sweeping palm plants, fans and candles. Low-slung couches give lounge appeal to hip locals seeking a romantic setting or friendly, quiet conversation.

  1. The couches are comfortable.
  2. Also, the ceilings are nice - nice atmosphere.
  3. The only thing i could think to make it better would be a parking lot - but finding parking wasnt terrible.

  2. The staff welcomes you and mixes up great drinks for a fair price.
  3. As I've stated before, I like this bar.

  2. We were there on a friday and both bartenders were friendly, funny and hot.
  3. The staff welcomes you and mixes up great drinks for a fair price.
  4. The service, on the other hand, was the worst I've ever seen.
  5. The service was so bad, I contemplated asking for an application.
  6. That place would be the gem of the Valley if they had bartenders that knew how to serve a cocktail instead of serve themselves.

A lot of the worst and some of the best

by crackerplz

How can a bar be the worst and the best of an area? The bar was stylie, and seemed to be a complete industry hang. The service, on the other hand, was the worst I've ever seen... and I mean EVER. If I were the only one who had an issue, fine, I'll take the blame and say that I was the problem, unfortunately everyone in the group that I was meeting (10 strangers + 2 "friends") said the same thing. As an ex-bartender/bar manager of 10 years in some of the busiest joints in LA, I have some experience.

That place would be the gem of the Valley if they had bartenders that knew how to serve a cocktail instead of serve themselves.

Would I go back, sure, but not as often. Avoid the shorter, thin bartender with black hair and heavy eyeliner - can take 15-20 minutes to get your drink, when she's NOT busy. The service was so bad, I contemplated asking for an application.

  • Pros: Cool and stylish hang, very relaxed
  • Cons: The worst service I've ever had in my life

Nice NoHo Lounge

by Tara deLis

There's a lot to like about this bar. The space is cool and lounge-y. It's great for the neighborhood. I like that it's unmarked, no sign, yet not pretentious. They have TVs for sports types. It canbe kind of empty during the week, but picks up on weekends. Only downside is that the drink prices aren't consistent and are sometimes too high for the neighborhood. I know it's a cool spot and the area is developing, but this is not Hollywood!

  • Pros: cool spot for NoHo, lounge vibe
  • Cons: drink prices change

Be Very Careful!

by MW36

This club is not safe. The bouncers beat up three girls last nite, left them outside without calling the police. They were in bad shape after they were called "white c****" and "white b*******". Bouncers were 6 foot tall and black. Not a safe place at all!

  • Pros: dangerous
  • Cons: dangerous

BEST IN VALLEY

by cocktailblonde

We are so happy to have stumbled across this place. Now its our favorite place to hang out. It has a classy hollywood look inside, but NO attitude. We were there on a friday and both bartenders were friendly, funny and hot. They poured unarguabley stiff drinks and its not pricey. No line or cover charge, cool music, the owner was even there and so welcoming. A little hard to find with no sign outside - there is a red light over the door. Not a dance club but definitely a place for a date, to gather friends, or an afterwork drink at the bar. The only thing i could think to make it better would be a parking lot - but finding parking wasnt terrible.

  • Pros: Affordable, comfortable, great crowd
  • Cons: parking, no food
