Lounges near El Segundo, CA

“The Purple Orchid in El Segundo is the ultimate neighborhood tiki escape—and an absolute lifesaver when you're trying to beat the summer temperatures. Gordon and Kristina chose this lovable, slightly divey Polynesian oasis to continue Gordon’s birthday month celebration, and it was the perfect call.

​Walking into the dimly lit lounge—complete with glowing pufferfish lamps dangling from the ceiling and heavily thatched decor—feels like stepping into a different time zone. Most importantly right now, they have the absolute best air conditioning in all of El Segundo. When a heat wave hits, there is simply no better place to cool down.

​The bar really shines when it comes to keeping you refreshed. Their blended drinks are fantastic—frosty, dangerously potent, and exactly what you want for a birthday toast. Whether you're sipping a slushy tropical concoction, ordering a classic Vic's Grog, or splitting a flaming Scorpion Bowl with friends, the bartenders pour with a heavy hand and a friendly, local attitude.

​Between the icy blended cocktails, the arctic blast of the A/C, the purple-felt pool tables in the back, and the laid-back neighborhood vibe, The Purple Orchid hits all the right notes for a party. Happy birthday month, Gordon!“

“Good times with new friends old friends and family“

“Great food and would have been a wonderful dining experience. However, our initial experience upon arrival was not very welcoming. The hostess explained that we coukd be seated and served only in the bar area at one of the hi tables or the bar itself as we did not have reservations. We of course said, great no problem. Upon sitting at a hi table a server approached saying that we couldn't sit there without the hostess' approval, at which time we explained that she had done so. He refused to let it go, continued to argue with us about server assignments etc. Then he just walked away to go discuss with the hostess, who in turn came to explain weird situation and tell us that it was fine to remain at this table. The rude server continued to display attitude and disdain throughout our meal. Our main server Peter (?) Was actually very professional and attentive.“

“It’s in the Hampton Inn just south of LAX. As of March 2026 they are open from 4 PM to 11 PM daily. There’s a happy hour from 4 PM to 6 PM which gets you $2 or $3 off food and drinks. It’s on the pricey side, but this is in an airport hotel, and restaurants in airport hotels are normally not cheap.“

“I cannot say enough of the five star service Ernesto provided. We were waiting for the shuttle to take us to the airport. It was 10 mins late, then 15 mins late. I asked the gentleman at the front desk to inquire but he was not helpful at all. Just said he will be there. I expressed my concern that we had an international flight to catch. I was so frustrated by this front desk man's customer service I told my husband we should call an Uber. Meanwhile we already paid for the hotel shuttle. Ernesto overheard my frustration. Called the bus to find out it wouldn't be coming there was an issue. He refunded us for our shuttle we paid for and also paid for our Uber. It was Four Seasons customer service, over and beyond exceeded our expectations! You should be so lucky to have a person like Ernesto. The other gentleman needs to go back to learning customer service skills and hospitality! Go Ernesto!“

“Flora has incredible talent on Thursdays and Fridays for live music . The food is delicious and the cocktails are really well crafted ! Top quality ! The atmosphere is cool and the big fire place makes it super chic and cozy . Perfect for parties w large groups and dates! I love it !“

“I enjoyed some dessert and coffee with a beautiful view. Everything was just as it should be; the staff were kind, the service was fast, and the desserts were equally delicious. I can’t say anything about the main dishes, but I’m sure they’re tasty too.“

“Love this spot! Bartender was great and atmosphere is upscale, classy and sophisticated-great when you wanna stay in Hermosa but get away from the Pier!“

“Try the short rib poutine if you're craving comfort food! Plenty of gravy and meat. Everything was good, portions good, service excellent, kitchen was fast but it wasn't super busy Sunday afternoon. They also do a great hamburger!“

“Stopped by Chungdam in Koreatown recently. It's definitely more of a bar and lounge, but honestly the food here is really solid across the board and I feel like people sleep on it. The beef jeon was one of my favorites, especially with the scallion salad on the side. The spicy fire chicken with cheese was another standout with plenty of heat and went perfectly with drinks. We also tried the kimchi pasta, rolled omelette, kimchi jeon, and grilled pork belly, and everything was good. We kept it classic with beer and soju, but they also have a full bar and plenty of cocktails. The atmosphere is pretty chill too. I've been here before for a Dodgers game and it's actually a great spot to grab some food, have a few drinks, and catch a game. Overall, a solid K-Town spot for food and drinks. Don't sleep on the food here because it's actually really good.“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“Food and ambience was great. I would def go back It was a bit louder causing us to use our outdoor voices to have a normal conversation. Our waiter was a bit slow and had to be reminded of our drinks... took us 30 minutes to get our drinks after ordering.“

“Huge shoutout to Adrian for a flawless experience. He was incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. I walked in knowing what I wanted, and he had my Nasha hash in my hands in under five minutes. Outstanding customer service—I definitely look forward to going back!“

“Had my first date with my bf here about 1.5 years ago. Service & atmosphere were great and it was the only place that was quiet enough and had tables large enough for us to play the board game we wanted to play. That being said, the passionfruit boba was the worst one I’ve ever had lmao“

“What a cozy welcoming atmosphere it has.. comfortable seating and friendly staff.. looking forward to going back soon“

“The drinks are good and friendly people. Great vibes!“

“Had a private dinner and party here and the best time! The owner and operators were so helpful and pleasant to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special event. Wonderful sound system, lots of space to dance and plenty of space to sit! The bathrooms were clean and the drinks were strong! The outdoor patio with the fire pit table were beautiful and comforting. And the parking was easy and close. All in all excellent!“

“The best aperitive in LA, with Salvo at 12-12 a wonderful location. Thanks a lot“

“Came here on a Saturday night to have some food and drinks with friends. They don't make reservations, instead, they put your name on the list so you still have to wait for a table. We only had to wait 20-25 minutes for a table on a busy Saturday night. The service was great, as it didn't take too long for the waitress to notice us and get our drinks order. Ingo's Tasty Diner is Great place to meet up with friends. Quiet without getting silent and the food is amazing. The drinks menu was extensive. Portions were good and I didn't feel like going into a food coma after leaving. Try their Brussel sprouts, it's delicious! Get ready to spend some $$$, as this place is pretty pricey but worth the price in my opinion. There is no parking, expect the metered parking on Wilshire.“

“Gameway DFW was awesome for my boys. (8 & 4) We missed our flight and had a lot of time to spend and they were so nice and catering.“

“I recently celebrated my husband's surprise 40th birthday party at the Alibi Room. Such an amazing time, the staff were so helpful, the food was amazing! If I could give more stars I would! Huge shout out to Andrea, Krystal and staff for the phenomenal service! I cannot thank everyone enough for making our celebration so special!“

“We got the LA Dine week special and it was mouthwatering! The seafood salad starter as well as the Sweet Corn & Crespelle entree were amazing. Also, if you are adventurous, try the Garlic Knotini, a martini with - you guessed it - garlic in it ?“

“Heyyyy, this is a nice spot in Culver! I don’t love the Culver bar scene, but this tucked away spot is great. Great bartender, good service, and fantastic DJ and music. Good seating without it being a ton, and it got lively after 10:30pm on a Friday. Good prices too!“

“Everything we ordered was fantastic.“

“Loved this Loved this lounge! I travel a lot and I frequent airport lounges, this one was one of the best! Small food selection but all fresh and they re-fresh frequently. Great Cali wine selection as well. Very clean. What made the experience was the staff, Chris and Simone were both amazing and all other staff were very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend this lounge when at LAX.“

“Great experience with a great staff and the owners are super welcoming! Had an amazing time!“

“The cold platter was fantastic! Love the atmosphere. Love the decor. Great experience!“

“This cheerful spot, inside a Koreatown office building, is a hidden gem. Everything is made fresh - there's not only Korean fare like bulgogi and beef sushi rolls but tacos, sandwiches, quesadillas, and much more. I especially like their bulgogi wrap. They're open late and serve beer, wine, and cocktails. Five stars!“

“Credit card machine is behind the counter of of your sight. They said, my card wasn't accepted so I gave a second card. Later I noticed that payments were made on both. First and last time I was in that place.“

“Went to Game Sports Bar Restaurant and Lounge on a Friday night, and had a ton of fun. The DJ was great, and the set up was very organized. Drinks were also pretty good from the specialty cocktail menu. My only complaint is that after our table reservation was up, the hostess who was assisting up and had placed my card on file for the table/drinks/food etc. never followed up with me to close it out after our table time was up; I had to seek her out afterwards.“

“The place is magical, water from the cascades non stop with amazing drinks and food. You can order the bar food + the sushi restaurant food when sitting at the lobby bar. The people working were extremely professional and friendly, I will come back.“

“Always a good time there!“

“This place really has its own atmosphere. The overall vibe is great, the alcohol selection is solid, and the bartenders are friendly and welcoming. What I liked most is that the place feels relaxed and comfortable. It does not have that aggressive energy some bars have, and it definitely does not feel like the kind of place where people are looking for trouble. The atmosphere inside feels warm and friendly.

The main downside for me was the music. It would be much better if the DJ played something that matched the actual mood of the place. When there are only two or three tables occupied, the music is still blasting as if the place is packed and everyone is waiting for a huge drop. That feels a bit out of sync with the otherwise chill and enjoyable atmosphere.

Overall, it is a nice place with a lot going for it, but the music choice and volume could really make the experience much better.“

“I was in the area and wanted to stop by; this was on my list of tryouts and I am glad I did. I love a great cocktail, I strongly enjoyed the Orange Fox. Roman is a great bartender; he has an amazing attitude and makes drinks very well. I will definitely be back because I am a sucker for a great, unique cocktail.“

“the service is phenomenal lovely atmosphere, very clean, cleanliness is the next thing to Godliness. the staff is friendly, the waitresses are really nice just all around lovely place the view is off the chain thank you penthouse for a lovely breakfast and God bless yours truly Michael and Jeannie.“

“Peace To All, YAH1/ YSRAYL1 hope all are well!Straight Forward bar, no draught beers only bottled at least. They have a standard full bar & they are ALL CASH!They do also serve food even green salad, check ahead or search google for the menu.To note, it can be a very tight fit when crowded, so pick your spots.Karaoke ? Thursdays can be quite entertaining & it's the U.S. Karaoke Version 1, which simply requires drink & those who want also sing a favored tune, typically w/o training.Peace To All!“

“Such a great experience, amazing vibes and service. Thank you so much Steven !“

“I celebrated my Birthday with my family today. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing!!“

“Awesome place. Beer is well priced and owners are VERY NICE. I will deffinatly make this my regular spot!!“

“Nice hangout place if u use karaoke- great food too!“

“Great customer service, very good espresso, tasty fresh pastries.“

“I recently visited the Jonathan Club as a guest, and the experience was truly incredible.

It’s such a perfect place for families, they have everything you could want in one place: tennis courts, a playground, a restaurant, a pool, locker rooms, and even direct access to the beach. There’s also a more tucked-away, curved area that feels especially relaxing and enjoyable it honestly gives you that vacation feeling the moment you’re there.

Everything felt thoughtfully designed to create a comfortable, elevated experience, whether you’re there to be active or just unwind.

Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I would absolutely love to be a member someday.“

“As crazy as our Birthday party was, in the bar, our server, Jose, was awesome. There were 2 or 3 other large gatherings at the Marriott hotel, where Singer is, adjacent to the lobby. However, we felt completely cared for. I ordered the classic burger...I am a burger aficionado... It was awesome! I could say that I am ashamed of all the parmesan fries I ate, but nope, not sorry. They were awesome, as well. I don't know if it's a good or bad reality that this place is only a couple miles from my home because...Oh who am I kidding? I would return to this place of great service, atmosphere, fun and food, no matter the distance. Great job Marriott hotel and Sinder restaurant. We will return...often!“

“Don't let the unassuming neon glow of the strip mall fool you. Once inside you'll be transported to a dive bar tiki paradise full of welcoming locals, cheap beer and limited distractions.
A throw back to simpler time when you were not overwhelmed with menu options or craft beer choices.
This is truly a slice of island paradise in an urban jungle“

“Asian power is not a joke but it’s hilarious 🤣“

“Amazing staff, great music, beautiful venue, can't go wrong with this place. Also starting to open for public entry for open bar. Highly recommended.“

“as a newyorker in los angeles the fact that there is a bar open after 9pm in brentwood to eat and drink 🍹 😱.“

“Great food. I ordered the chicken blt and chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't hot enough but ooh well it was good enough. Andrew the bartender was amazing. The karoke was nice. My only problem is the karoke host did not at any time wipe down any mics after countless people used it and with the drinks flowing and people having a good time like me that made me nervous. I wanted so bad to get up there and sing.“

“Been here many times - food quality has improved sharply lately and is miles ahead of the Star Alliance lounge a level up. Lounge attendants are super nice who helped print my Qantas Boarding Pass. It’s usually not crowded during most of the day (gets crowded late at night). Awesome lounge (again).“
