More house party than hot spot, this no-cover charge WeHo anti-club is where attitude is discouraged and eats are above average.

What People Are Saying About Libertine
The Owner
Libertine
Owner
Libertine stands a lone as being one of the most low key, laid back bar/ lounges on Sunset Blvd. It has a distinct feel with the multiple oversized comfy couches and an outside grotto bar. The decor is subtly splashed with collectors items discovered by the dedicated owner. The atmosphere is enhanced by the superb D.J's that spin nightly, offering a mellow tone, to this good vibe watering hole. Inspired by upscale Europeans pubs Libertine fits the bill everytime offering quality premium drinks at a reasonable price.

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…

Aweomse mood, chill, good drinks and people, atypical WeHo
by Pixelsmack at Citysearch
This place is saturated with the classic downtempo, dim lit, lots of deep warm colors of old 'reimagined' Hollywood. The music is rythmic/tribal/house and always in the background. The bartenders are alert, helpful and make a hell of a drink.
Extended happy hour is always a welcomed bonus. Not that the drinks are pricey to begin with. This is not a $15 a drink joint.
Come well dressed or just casual, does not matter here. Sit at the bar and keep to yourself or lounge on the sofas.
If air and smoke are your thing then head out back to a brick clad alley/former-garage grotto of sorts. Drinks at the bar out there on weekends too. Perfect.
The crowd is nice and in the 20s to 30s set. Be prepared for some lookers mixed with us normal folk.
- Pros: Atmosphere, bartenders, location.
- Cons: Parking if you don't like valet or live within walking.

A hidden gem across from the Chateau Marmont
by BrigitteTols at Citysearch
Dare I contribute to the growing popularity of my favourite new spot? I discovered Libertine after strolling along the Sunset Strip with my girl friends, disheartened by the squaking blondes and guys who think they're Hugh Heffner who've filled our former spots...I walked into Libertine greeted by a friendly doorman to find a sophisticated, red light-lit lounge playing newer electronica and funk. The bartenders are all genuinely friendly and actually like to make you a great drink- John is by far the most skilled, in my opinion. The patrons are much more Jessica Alba than Paris Hilton- but make no mistake, Libertine does get packed. Libertine makes a point to emphasize a strict no guest list policy- and as of right now, no cover charge. My only criticism is that I was unable to have my birthday party there because I was never called or e-mailed back in time to reserve a section of the club, or sign up for bottle service- I did have to go in person, and was never called back even after I spoke to a manager in person. I would absolutely recommend it for a private party though, if you are able to get ahold of someone to book it.
- Pros: Perfect balance of party and chill, great drinks and bartenders
- Cons: No easy parking, hard to book a private party

Great kickback place
by angie17 at Citysearch
Went here with a big group and had a great time. The drinks are reasonable, and the outside patio is adorable. The music is good for a lounge but wished they played some music you can dance to...the bartenders and waitresses are the nicest in town...and the food is so delicious!!! Definitely a place to chill, not a pretentious hollywood club!
- Pros: staff , price , atmosphere
- Cons: music choice!
