Editorial Review for Cha Cha Lounge – by Michael Martin
In Short
Located in the old Le Bar space, this Polynesian-themed bar offers a lively hideaway for everyday drinking and special DJ events. The over-the-top club is divided between an enclosed lounge area of shiny-vinyl banquettes and its decadently kitsch bar with bamboo columns and straw-thatch roof. Like an erupted pinata, the ceiling features dangling fruit, sombreros and Carnival tchotchkes straight out of a Carmen Miranda movie. Lacquered walls with outdated newsprint and red spotlights make for easy conversation starters over goblet-sized tropical drinks.

I love this bar. I see others points on here about the slow service. You have to keep in mind the people hired here don't know what there doing and openly admit they have no no training. The benefit of this is you drink is STRONG and cheap. I love the ambiance and the hipster chicks. Yes they are all very pretentious but I like it just the same you have to find the humor in all of it. Silver lake is the land of intenionaly,unintentional. In other words do your best to look like you put no time in your look all the while spending hours figuring it out. Look as if you are a struggling artist while tapping away on your Mac at the coffee shop. See the irony in all of this? It is all very funny. Silver lake is my home and I love it.
Pros: Cheap strong Drinks
Cons: Lines on friday and slow service.....

Maybe it's because I hate going to Silver Lake where you can never find parking or I left the house drunk and wanted to stay that way. But I had a terrible time at this place. I waited for drinks three times and was there about twenty minutes on each run. I am a pretty cool dude too, I look pretty awesome when I go out so it's not like I'm not getting served because I'm ugly or something. Nope, the only reason it took everyone so long to get served is because the jerks behind the bar sucked at thier jobs. No apologies for the wait times and the only reason I tipped them anything was in hopes to get served sooner. That didn't happen. I understand being busy but three weeks ago when I went it was not. It was a Saturday if I can remember and a dirty Andrew W. K. looking dude was serving. He was a real creep. No customer service skills whatsoever. Once again Silver Lake fails at being a cool place to go. If you drink slow or have a pretty girlfriend who would like to go get drinks for you at the bar then go here. Once inside it looks cool enough but the help there is a major turn off. I hope I never go back.
Pros: Nice atmosphere inside
Cons: Horrible service, horrible service, horrible service
