In Short – This hot Valley hangout draws both locals and Hollywood hipsters willing to venture into the 818 to check out its retro-chic delights and killer jukebox. Though it's usually packed just about every night of the week, the friendly crowd will make room for you (reminding you that you're definitely not in Hollywood anymore). Take a seat at the inviting redwood bar, wander back to check out the quirky orange wallpaper in the lounge area, or wait your turn at the pool table or tabletop Ms. Pacman and Galaga machines ... You'll swear you've wandered into some '80s rec room from your…

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Since the small parking lot gets packed on weekends, valet service is offered Friday and Saturday nights.
Look Good:
Some treat this place like a pick-up spot. Blame the strong drinks, dim lights, and general attractiveness of the patrons. Bottom line: Be prepared to be checked out.
Save Money:
Happy hour prices include $4 well drinks, $5 call drinks, $3 domestic beers and $4 imports. Better yet, happy hour prices are in effect from noon until 8pm.

Very cool vibe

by Artz

Tagged along with some friends to go out.. Met at a nasty dive across the street.. Anywhoo

We walk to this mini-mall and WOW! this place is extremely cool inside but no attitude.. The drinks were cheap $4 for a vodka crannberry...

The bartender was this smokin hot blonde..

I would go back... See ya there

  • Pros: whole in the wall with delicious decor
  • Cons: not always jumping.. guess its still new

My new favorite!!

Almost don't want to encourage the hype and draw attention to this great little bar!!

It's a fantastic place to stop in for a drink or to stay all night. Paul and his team have done an amazing job. I visited this spot a few times when it was Studio Suite and the remodling is terrific. The perfect place to hang out with friends without the "scene" of the Hollywood bars (...and minutes from home which ROCKS!). Very chill vibe - not too crowded but not empty either. OH...and the bathroom is very clean - which is definitely a perk :) Drinks are resonably priced...and the sweet tea vodka is UHH--MAZING!! Definitely my new favorite place!!

  • Pros: Friendly staff, Sweet Tea Vodka
