Editorial Review for Libertine – by Randi Schmelzer
In Short
This converted apartment building-turned-nightclub offers West Hollywood 20-somethings what most of its trendy neighbors don't: A come-as-you-are hangout where you can knock back fairly cheap drinks, dance the night away and eat better-than-decent bar food. Appetizers ranging from hummus pizza and artichoke dip to seared ahi tuna are suprisingly gourmet, as are entrees like New Zealand lamb chops and grilled cheese-with-bacon sandwiches. Atmospheric options also suit most any mood: The fireplace room is where laidback locals sink into comfy sofas, snacking on pretzels and watching reruns on wall-mounted TVs; the candlelit lounge has DJs spinning as giggling patrons give it a whirl on the stripper's pole; and out back, smokers and stargazers take advantage of the split-level "grotto" bar.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoUnmarked and slightly removed from the street, the club is difficult to find. It's directly across from Chateau Marmont, adjacent to the Pinches Tacos parking area.
What to DrinkIn keeping with its makeshift motto--"We don't need a happy hour because we're happy all the time"--cocktails are relatively inexpensive by Sunset Strip standards. Most premium-liquor mixed drinks are only $6.
When to GoThursday nights from 10pm till 2am, "SunDown Motel" features DJs spinning house music, live drummers and $5 drink specials.
ParkingSpaces in nearby lots will run from $10 to $25, depending on the day of the week.

I love this bar. By far the chillest/friendliest bar on Sunset. There is 0 attitude - everyone is so friendly here. And my favorite part is that it's not a huge production to get in! No lines! Definitely check out this "hidden gem" soon before everyone else finds out about it. It's a bit hard to find, there is no signage on the building/door, but it's right next door to Pinche's Tacos. The hot bartender also makes some pretty stiff drinks for cheap!
Pros: Laidback, great music, friendly staff
Cons: Parking - I ended up valeting at Myagi's across the street.
