The Garter

Hidden behind an industrial facade, this newly hip lounge strikes a wilder pose than its former divey Red Garter incarnation.

With the black chandeliers and purple suede and having Wii on the big screen, this bar is eclectic at its best. If you crave different then you will definitely fall in love with this bar as many others have. Not the run of the mill as you would expect. While hidden away it is soon to become the place to be. With new ownership the bar has taken flight and been converted into a hip place with every type person there is. Visit The Garter and you will see what all the hype is about. Don?t forget to tell them you found them on Citysearch.

In Short – Don't expect mango martinis or passionfruit mojitos at this Westside drinking den, where the entire menu reads "beer and liquor." Old-fashioned crimson wallpaper, black chandeliers and leather booths create an Old West brothel meets Crate & Barrel lounge feel. Fireside sofas, a pool table, bar seating and a Spartan patio in front provide plenty of places for an interesting mix of off-work suits and regular Joe 20- and 30-somethings to get cozy and share bottle service or a beer with some friends. Bright and relaxed on weekdays, the small space comes alive on weekend nights,…

Gay Girls Night on Wednesdays

by VenicesFinest at Citysearch

I've been dying to find somewhere to meet girls on the westside forEVER. Forever literally. Bubble Lounge started here every Wednesday for gay girls just this month and I went last week and it was jampacked with hot girls looking to meet!

I couldn't believe my eyes (droooool!) It was a cool mixed crowd of gay and straight, an awesome space, I love the retro look. The DJ was killer, everybody was dancing, and I GOT SOME!!!!! Yes, it was seriously perfect all around.

So, for me, for now, it's The Garter to meet girls on a Wednesday, this is my spot! Keep up the good work!

  • Pros: Awesome for what I was seeking
  • Cons: Not many

Good Chill Spot

by sexxyasiwannabee at Citysearch

I had a wonderful time at this place. The atmosphere was cool as well as the people. I like the bartenders as they don't give you any attitudes and the drinks aren"t that expensive and there's no cover charge. The bouncers were cool to me and my friends and they greet you really well and they are so professional. The bouncers at the clubs in Hollywood are egotistic and rude. This is what makes a good and safe place to chill and have drinks. Any ladies out there that has been to this bar, do any of you have any info or know the really tall cute bouncer?

  • Pros: there's no long line
  • Cons: not enough updated hip hop music
