It's a great place to enjoy great people.

Tried coming in but they were “sold out” (?) and some visibly coked-out gentlemen told us we’d have no luck finding any place better and basically to kick rocks. Bizarre experience for a dive (saying a lot) and this bar isn’t situated in proximity to anything but a 7-11. Avoid.

Best hotel in hollywood! There's free parking (slightly off site but still it's FREE!). The service is great, rooms are all very clean and unique. You get drink tokens, automatic entrance to the club downstairs (be sure to book on a night you're excited about who is playing to really take advantage of this perk!), AND since it's a recording studio you get to KEEP a record that has been recorded there which will be provided on your bed upon arrival along with ear plugs and a nice nail file. All the rooms have record players and an assortment of records as well as blue tooth speakers so you can jam out however you like! They've got some drink options for room service and a nice book of recommendations for food delivery in the area. Honestly the only reason I would ever hesitate to review this place is so it doesn't get too popular for me to be able to come back!

Cool bar. You'd never know it was there just driving past in the area. Has a touch of a retro vibe complete disco ball and subtle appropriate furnishings (not kitschy). Quite dark aside from the bar lights and bathroom. Came here to see live music and the bands were great. Sound was awesome as well compared to a lot of small venues around town that are more popular. Lots of drink options, including low ABVs and NA options - tons of small batch and boutique liquors to choose from on the shelf. Parking's pretty difficult but if you can snag a street parking meter nearby, you're golden. They also offer hotel rooms and a recording space if that's of any interest. Ask the bartenders!

Only complaint is that it gets really musty and it feels like they don't have circulatjon/hvac. It's a cool place to play music and listen to music though. Always sounds

I had an absolutely awesome time here. Alex the bartender, and the security guard were friendly, shared some recommendations for bars and restaurants with us and were a blast to chat with.Me and some friends came to see some live music, when halfway through the power went out. This made for an awesome acoustic only performance with the entire bar crowding around a make-shift stage.The staff were proactive and handled the situation really well. I'd recommend this bar if you're in the area, and even if you aren't in the area.

Great venue. Small. Some big posts can block stage, but not too bad.

Showtime was supposed to be 9pm. 2h later (11pm) still no show. Doorman was rude and disrespectful.

Venue is nice. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed for a concert but it gets loud when the regular bar crowd comes in after the show. Be warned the bar can be very loud even during an acoustic concert. Ice drops by bar staff during the quietest musical moments. The shaking of ice drinks is overwhelming during the show. Had to move away from the bar towards the mixing booth. The noise was overpowering unfortunately even the musician made a few comments about the bar noise. It was a rude thing do do many ice drops during the quietest moments of a song. It's folk music do it the thousands of times they are tuning their guitars.

Hole in the wall former stripper joint turned bar and concert venue. Heard of this place for years and finally got to visit to see Girl Ray all the way from the U.K.! There is a designated off-site parking lot on the north west side of the street. I forget what the intersection is, but keep your eyes peeled for a dark parking lot with a dark banner hung on a fence that says Gold-Diggers parking. There's plenty of parking spaces inside the designated lot. This space is small and the definition of intimate. I was so close to the stage, that one sneeze and I'd be in the band playing the tambourine. I've never been so close to a performer in my life and I had to awkwardly look at the floor or the keyboard player as I was right under the lead singer's microphone stand. Insanely fun though! I wore ear plugs because I was so close and it balanced out the sound perfectly, but if you don't have plugs it may get a bit too loud. They sold merch in the back by the bar and it was literally like swimming against a school of fish to get back there. The restrooms are super cute and nice and you could do a whole photo shoot in there. Definitely one of my favorite or stand-out concert venues I've been to in L.A.

Gold Diggers is a great Hollywood boutique hotel (only ten rooms I think). Owners Dave and Rachel have put a lot of love in the rooms which continue the music/recording theme from the on-site recording studio and music venue. My room had albums and a record player. There’s a fun club/bar venue just below with top quality music and DJs. Bartender Adam was welcoming. Recommended !
