What People Are Saying About Winston's Bar

In Short
The unmarked door can make this modern speakeasy a challenge to find, and the uber-hip owners (including Dime owner Andy Fiscella and GQ editor Chris Huvane) seem to like it that way. The decor celebrates 1920s Tinseltown, with masculine black banquettes, ornate oil paintings and a vintage crystal chandelier poised at the center of the bar. Operated in a similar manner to their Fairfax lounge--namely, no promoters or unbreakable guest lists--the bar attracts whippet-thin starlets and their scruffy-faced boyfriends on a daily basis.

Look, this is a very small bar. Like, call the fire marshal if there are 125 people because you are going to have a stampede small. Accordingly, they cannot let everyone in. Physically. That said, the door people are not obnoxious by Hollywood standards. If it is late in the night and they are over capacity, you are not getting in. If you do not look the part, they might not let you in. (But, lets think about this people, would you go to church wearing a tube top? No.) But if you are dressed appropriately, are patient and actually treat the door people with respect, they aren't bad guys. This is not the hot spot that it once was - think people excited just to be there - but the drinks are still strong, the music is still great and the vibe is still cool. Hopefully, the Hills won't ruin it, entirely.

Parking:
The club's valet is stationed at Spaulding. Meters are available along Santa Monica Boulevard, but all surrounded side streets are restricted parking with tow truck enforcement.
Know Before You Go:
The space is rather small for Hollywood and does reach capacity early. Priority entry is given to bottle service tables.
When to Go:
Beloved house DJs spin vintage '80s and '90s anthems that turn progressively louder throughout the night. It's best to get there early if you want quiet conversation.
