I WAITED IN LINE FOR OVER 20 MINUTES, PATIENTLY, JUST TO BE TOLD THAT I COULDN’T ORDER A DRINK — ONLY A SHOT OR A BEER. MEANWHILE, THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME WERE SERVED FULL DRINKS WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. WHY THE DIFFERENT TREATMENT?
I ASKED POLITELY WHY I COULDN’T GET A DRINK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, AND INSTEAD OF AN ANSWER, THEY GAVE ME A BEER (WHICH I ACCEPTED RESPECTFULLY), ONLY TO THEN SNATCH IT AWAY FROM ME AND KICK ME OUT.
I’VE NEVER BEEN TREATED WITH SUCH DISRESPECT IN ANY BAR. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL, UNFAIR, AND FELT STRAIGHT-UP DISCRIMINATORY.
DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. TERRIBLE SERVICE, ZERO CUSTOMER RESPECT, AND NO ACCOUNTABILITY. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
SHAME ON THEM.

First you go, stand in a long queue and then when its your turn the manager denies first that he cannot do. But later as soon as you request he goen near the parking area and tells you upfront that if you want to go you can pay 20$ and move inside. Thats so unethical and weird by the manager himself as the places next to them have so awesome and smooth management. First experience was the worst altho.

Great 'hidden' bar that takes you back to the 1920's! It's like you're partying in a living room and it's got a great outdoor patio with nice fire places. The line is a pita if you go there on a weekend, so make sure you book a table!

Yes, it’s overpriced and the drinks might not be great, but it’s the best bar in LA for ambiance and overall experience. I always make sure to stop by when I’m in town.

Started the night next door at Dirty Laundry, great vibe, friendly bouncers, and solid energy. We were having a blast and decided to swing by No Vacancy to keep the night going. Big mistake! We were greeted by a bearded security guy with a broccoli-shaped haircut who told us the place was full. He explained that there was no line, and they’d be letting people in based on who showed up first. Cool, no problem ,we waited. One full hour later, we’re still standing there, watching people who arrived way after us walk right in. No reservations, no logic. When we politely asked about it, we were ignored and somehow, after that, even more people from behind us got waved in. It honestly felt like he was going out of his way to skip us.
The disrespect was wild. At some point it stopped feeling like a line and started feeling like a prank. Our night went from fun to frustrating real fast.
No Vacancy might have people inside, but it has a major vacancy when it comes to professionalism and respect for customers. If you’re into being randomly skipped and ignored, this is your place. Otherwise, there are plenty of LA spots that actually know how to treat people decently.

An absolute gem with timeless charm! This classy club, nestled in a beautifully preserved old house, exudes history and sophistication. The moody lighting and crackling fireplaces create an intimate, inviting atmosphere perfect for a memorable evening. Whether you’re here for a delicious cocktail or a lively gathering, the ambiance is unmatched. Highly recommend for those who appreciate elegance and character!

Rude waitress/bartender on the evening of 11/2 🥴Acted like the customers were an inconvenience and that we were clearly annoying her by asking for ***mediocre drinks(at best)***. + Espresso martini was out of a machine. 😬

Incredible. Just off the boulevard and Hudson - worth every bit. From the amazing entrance, to the vibe, to the drinks and ambiance, it's perfect. Worth a visit every time!
Was at a private event upstairs and Harkin was an absolute delight. Despite the “open” menu being cocktails with 12 steps to make, he was in a great mood and treated everybody fabulously while also taking the time to chat with anyone that needed it. 10/10 Harkin rocks and the spot is cool

The coolest bar I have ever seen, by a long shot. I will not spoil your entry here by describing it. One must see this to believe it. Go there and you'll know what I mean.
Their cocktails are masterful: no big cups of ice but rather small, strong pieces of heaven in a glass. The way it should be.
The dont serve food so keep that in mind.

Bartender refused to provide water when my girlfriend had the hiccups without charging $4 for a tiny plastic bottle of water. I explained why I would like a glass of tap water and she was rude saying “it doesn’t matter.” What kind of establishment doesn’t provide water upon request, just terrible business practice to price gouge people for water when they are just trying to have a good time and already spending money on your overpriced drinks too. Won’t be returning when there are so many better bars around who don’t treat their customers like that

I used to enjoy visiting this place, but my recent experience was very disappointing. My phone was stolen during my visit, and when I reported it to security, they were unhelpful. They mentioned that phone thefts have been occurring frequently, but offered no assistance or solutions. I understand there are limitations to what they can do, but the lack of support was very frustrating. Will not be returning.
WORST BAR EXPERIENCE EVER.
