We came on an extremely busy night, but we got our drinks quick. We enjoyed the aesthetics, but we ended up sitting outside in the patio are under a tree.

One of my favorite iconic bars. I used to live nearby. I still love going here. Great music and atmosphere.

Excellent VIP service. Jamaal was absolutely phenomenal made sure my sister, myself, and her husband were taken care of throughout the night. We had an amazing night. Security was top notch which, is always a plus!

I'm sure you all will still wait in this toxic line.... Hopefully LA will have higher standards for dancing but until then... enjoy the date/rape testimonials of the WORST human beings in the planet who happen to run this this terrible place...

What an awesome place this spot WAS. I have been coming here for years. The new owners or management ruined it. I was turned off completely on top of that there is an old very creepie guy that works there ( I think he is the manager ). He was trying to hit on my girlfriend all night.

Pretty cool spot to have a yummy drink. Good menu looks pretty solid. I had the pleasure of being recommended a Piña Peño ‍ it was delicious! The atmosphere is beautiful, little fire pit and low lit area outside was nice. Can't wait to go back and enjoy downstairs. Staff was nice and I can't thank my server enough for telling me about happy hour!

Great service! Came here for a cute after work date. Loved the atmosphere and great if you work in the financial district.

Glad I got to experience this place before I leave LA. Great place to mingle meet people and hear live music.

Just dined here for lunch - for is fine nothing spectacular but priced for fine dining. Bit of a rip off.

A few friends and I were excited to check out a new happy hour spot in Santa Monica last night only to be disappointed with the service. The bar is cool and food and drinks were good too. But when the server tells us that food is half off during happy hour and once we receive our bill she says "sorry actually the food isn't half off but we did give you 25% off of food instead" um, thanks for not honoring what you had previously told us. But thanks for the consolation of 25% off instead of half off. Good to know this place would rather make a couple extra bucks in one night instead of having an entire group of happy customers return to your bar. Not good business. Learn how to honor what tell your customers instead of being completely misleading.
