Stone Rose Lounge

not that great

by moniquersp at Citysearch

I decided to check out the stone rose lounge since I live nearby, and wanted to consider bringing friends there. It was early in the evening and pretty slow, I really wanted this place to be great since it's walking distance from my apartment and it has such a great look to it, but I was greatly disappointed. The drinks are really over priced and I tried the crispy shrimp which turned out to be really bland. Also the service there was awful. i sat out at the patio and waited for a good while before i had to ask a guy walking by who worked there for a menu. Then i had to wait another long while before I could order, then she took forever to bring my check. Definitely NOT impressed.

• Pros: great atmosphere
• Cons: terrible service, over priced drinks

Great place to relax

I really like this lounge! It has a great ambiance and it is a nice place to gather with friends to just relax. And the servers there are really nice.

Hate the Hollywood scene, but this place is fine

What I like is there's a decent assortment of people hanging out here, not just hipsters. I went a few times on busy nights in late '06 & '07. Only went a few times on slow nights in '08, and it was tooooo slow. So I'm not sure if it's still fun. But it's a cozy spacious place, and if you don't have an inferiority complex you won't have a problem having a B+ time or better, and do some mingling - which I find difficult at most LA places. Here it's never been a problem. I've gotten in because people think I look like someone, but can't point out who. Good they don't know or care, that I'm not what's considered "a big deal".

• Pros: Easier to meet people. 5 star bathroom!!!
• Cons: it was toooo slow the last few times I went (weeknight).

Bad service.

by GregSamsa at Citysearch

Hey Stone Rose, when you put a $150 hold on my bank account for ordering 3 drinks on my debit card maybe this is something you want to discuss with me. And then when I call to ask them about it the best they can do is say "take it up with your bank." Where I come from this is called bad service. Never going back ever for any reason.

Here's the deal...(I used to work here)

by nathall at Citysearch

I used to work here and here is the deal regarding some of the negative comments below...

1) It's LA. This is a selective spot so if you are ugly, trashy, low class or sketchy you will have tough/impossible time getting in because we want to create a specific environment inside with the right mix of people. Notice how ALL the negative reviews are from people with door issues and therefore are probably befitting of the above descriptions. If this does not apply to you you will be admitted and like it here.

2) The "reserved" signs. If someone has made a reservation they can choose where they want to sit when they come so we do this as a precaution so when other people sit at a table (and please do!) that they may later get bumped at they are not surprised. The servers explain this. Think about it: if you made a bottle service reservation YOU would expect the same to be done for you. But until those people come (if they do at all) it is all open seating.

Bottom line is this is a great spot; on the weekdays when you want a pick-me-up low key cool night out or the weekends when you want excitement and a bigger crowd. And for summer, you CAN'T beat the patio.

Wednesday's are the best night. Very entertainment-industry, celeb sighting, young and hot but still approachable and non-intimidating or stuffy. Everyone is very friendly.

• Pros: Good crowd, great specialty drinks, fantastic atmosphere.
