Editorial Review for Winston's – by Michael Martin
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.

Insider Tips
ParkingThe 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 GoThe space is rather small for Hollywood and does reach capacity early. Priority entry is given to bottle service tables.
When to GoBeloved 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.

Winston's was a great place for approximately three weeks between January and February, 2007. Now, it's a neighborhood joke. The doormen, famous city-wide for their expressionless douche-baggery, preside over a nightly sausage-fest of black knit sweaters and $300 jeans. One wonders why the place is even open to public at all, as it seems it could make plenty of money just being the private-party, under-capacity circle-j*rk it is.
Pros: The decor is nice
Cons: Generally, everything else
