What People Are Saying About Room

In Short – With a totally revamped look and a double-its-size addition to its formerly small and crowded quarters, this lounge is still where low-key night owls make the rounds for cool cocktails and a relaxed scene. Even though it now has a street-front entrance, this famed back-alley bar still feels a little naughty. Inside, the mix of dark leather booths, exposed brick and a long, narrow wooden bar aren't necessarily inspired, but the place still manages to keep its previous (and now larger) appeal. As partners Ashley Joyce and Jeremy Thomas say, "The Room has always been a bar…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- The entrance is off the alley behind Huston's Pit Barbeque.
- Parking:
- On busy weekend nights, use the valet service ($3-$5, not including tip) rather than risking late-night street parking violations.

- When to Go:
- Most every night features a live DJ; Tuesday's rock-and-roll club night, Dirty, is particularly happening.

It's a lounge, not a disco hall?
by watoddusa
I went there for a birthday celebration and read some Citysearch reviews beforehand to see if the place was stuck up and that I needed to dress up to get in. The reviews mentioned "no attitude" "no ropes" "secret entrance" and some other, encouraging hints. Well, I guess you have to enter off the "corridor"now and there was a rope and I had a slight tinge of attitude before I told the door guy about the reivews I read. I was let in and basically had a hassle-free evening. The place is well decorated, but not spacious. My party was confined to a space that was shared by two other large groups. As the night went on, the space got smaller and I was dancing in the bathroom to show all my moves. There was plenty of action, but the music that night, was pretty straight forward "prom-style" and not my cup of tea. So, if I hit up this joint again, I am going 10-11:30ish. Enjoy!
- Pros: Decor, Service
- Cons: Space, Identity

Real bar, real people, and the only place in hollywood with a great vibe
by alexis505
The bar looks great and the vibe feels good. Check their website for special events because they always have something going on throughout the week. Music isn't typical of what's going on in the rest of hollywood, which i like (not commercial radio), and it's the perfect place to throw parties, my girls and I love it here.

Best TUESDAY night HOT SPOT
by fatalblades
I DJ here on tuesdays, and honestly, the crowds here are pretty amazing. This definitely a NY bar in a LA setting. Very low-key, and the music is always right and danceable. Hosted by Keith Wilson (MOSCOW, BETA, 82) this night promises fantastic DJ's and always special guests. To be regularly informed, come out on a Tuesday and mix up with the crowd. Key arrival times are 10pm and DJ's spin till 2am. Never a cover, Never a list, just good times.
- Pros: Lots of Room
- Cons: Parking

This is A REAL BAR!
by degastino
I went to The Room on a Tues. night with a buddy of mine and I was blown away that there is an actual BAR in Hollywood! I'm sure I speak for many when I say I am so tired of the CLUBS in Hollywood. What an amazing concept they have at this place...big beautiful bar with real bartenders, live dj's that don't spin radio music (or more importantly "GET LOW") and big seating areas to relax in (without having to spend $600 for a bottle of Grey Goose). Crowd was fantastic and the back patio is where it's at!! It just feels the way a bar should feel...just chill and right without all the b.s. you usually encounter. It's NY in LA. The real NY. All you "clubhoppers" and "hollywood weekenders" stay away please! Leave this one to those of us who get it and aren't trying to fake it.
