This is not a club it is a bar. I went one night. Won't return. The ladies room look like the ladies room at a gas station. This place was a place for loser who want to think that they went to a club. The dj ssucked big time.

  • Pros: no cover charge
  • Cons: small

It's truly a workout once you get inside it's hot as 'HELL", but if you came to dance like your suppose to in a club your good. . No dress code so it's not the "Hollywood" spot, No fakes. Now getting there early is not the issue, It's not packed till 11*00 11*30. Everyone working there is very chill. Drinks are very well made and cheap. Friday nights are hot, very live. My girls and I are there when we just can't decide what to do, but when ever I just want to go dance and have a good time this is it. I've been there Tuesdays and Saturday and always enjoy my nights.

  • Pros: Music is always good, crowd is always mixed.
  • Cons: Small inside and Hot.

This is a great chill place to go and enjoy the good selection of music. As soon as you enter you feel completely relaxed and ready to enjoy the night. It's a bit tight with space but it creates an intimate setting like typical New York bars. The dance floor is a small square but there is ample room for dancing, on or near the dance floor. The bartenders were cordial and attentive. The people there were incredibly diverse but by the end, though, there appeared to be more of a hip hop crowd on the dance floor, especially once the old school hip hop songs started playing. I loved it and definitely will go back there soon.

  • Pros: Ambience, Parking, Music, Lounge
  • Cons: Small

Worth a try for a little different feel than the usual Culver City hang-outs. Fairly strong drinks and a few hotties to talk too.

I'll try to be as nice as possible....this place is definitely not what I expected. Went on a Friday night and the place was packed by 11pm. Problem was, the crowd was super getto. Definitely not a crowd you'll see out in Hollywood. But they did have really strong and cheap drinks. The DJ was ok as well, but not enough for me to go back. I guess there's a reason I stay in Hollywood.

  • Pros: cheap drinks, parking
  • Cons: crowd, very small

Nice place to have a drink, hear good music and to be in a relaxed atmosphere, nice people and nice vibe. A great alternative to the Hollywood club scene

I just discovered this hot spot a week ago. I'm not much into the club scene anymore, being that I'm now married. I just wanted a night out with my girlfriends to hang out and have some really good drinks. They took me to this place and my first impression when we entered at around 10:30 was, "this is going to be a sorry night!". The place is smaller than my 2-bedroom apartment! It was lit with red light and there were about 10 people at the bar and two in the lounge area. There was music playing but not of my interest. In my club days, if the people and the music weren't jumping, I'd leave and move on to the next. So, we sat down in the lounge area and ordered our drinks, which were very inexpensive and very well made! We sat down and started taking pictures and watched the crowd finally start coming in. Withing 30 minutes the place was so crowded, the good music started playing, and everyone started dancing. I couldn't believe how fast the place got packed with such a diverse crowd! My friends and I had such an unforgettable time. We ended up having a bit too much to drink and dancing all over the place (something i totally wasn't expecting). If you are looking for something totally different from the trendy Hollywood scene and just out to have some good drinks and listen to some great music and just CHILL, this is the place. I will be back.

Carbon is a nice local lounge. Dress code is casual. Drinks are reasonably priced. DJ's spina mix of old school hip-hop and funk. Atmosphere is fun, there is a lounge area, bar and dance floor. Lots of fun, I recommend stopping by if you are in the area and you don't want to go to another trendy LA bar.

  • Pros: DJ, Good Drinks, Fun Atmosphere
