Lounges near Universal City, CA

“The stay here was perfect, staff were really friendly, specially at the breakfast area, the food there was delicious, the parking is close and convenient (not free), the shuttle to Universal was free and comes by 15 minutes exactly and drops you off at Universal city walk, the drivers are the best, the gift shop was also very convenient and nice, it has everything we needed and the bar offers basic Starbucks drinks, elevators were fast, the only weird thing that happened was that the room across from us smelled like weed and when we complained they came immediately and said that they can’t do anything but to “tell the guests staying across from us that it’s not allowed if we ever see them in the hall” which we would never do, that’s not our job. This hotel was also very close to Warner Brothers tour“

“Since Or Bar opened in the old Gold Coast space, it has become my favorite local place. Good drinks, great people. I love all of the staff here!“

“The place is awesome, really going to be hard to replace a guy like Joseph D on staff. Wishing the best for this establishment in finding a replacement“

“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.“

“Line stepping back into a fantasy world.“

“This is the place we come to all the time!! Amazing music, customer service, food!!“

“Such a lovely and cozy spot at 1 West Hotel! We didn’t have a reservation and went on a Sunday night, but we were able to get seated easily.

The drinks were great, and we tried the waffle fries, chicken skewers, sweet potato bake, and shrimp fritters. Everything was good!

It’s a great spot to hang out with a group of friends. They have lots of large tables and more of an open-table seating style, which makes it feel very social and relaxed. Definitely a nice place for a casual night out with friends!“

“Did my popup there on a Saturday and it was super fun!!! The whole Verdugo team were slammed but kept it together and stayed super positive and welcoming. The clientele were very friendly and patient. Everyone was mingling and the DJ was doing pretty good. I need to go back and dance!“

“Inside. Outside. It’s amazing. Different vibe. But all around amazing. Pricey for some folks, but worth it if you can.“

“Such a vibe! Had an amazing experience. Highly recommend.“

“These bartenders are wizards, alchemists, Jedis of the cocktail Force. No menu, just chat with them and enjoy the cocktail they invent. The music is classic rock n roll. Go to this place, or just be boring.“

“I dont know why but i expected the foosball table to be free to use (it’s not, you have to put quarters in). Otherwise this bar is pretty great for meeting people, but if you want to talk to them you probably have to go outside and smoke because the music is so loud.“

“Great music, beautiful views and excellent drinks and service. My experience was fantastic!“

“The music is awesome! The service is great! A place to enjoy a cocktail or two and reminisce with old friends.“

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

“loved! Ho see the boys working behind the bar!!“

“Gotta try this spatot and ask for Paul because he was awesome! Attentive and present and straightforward. He is definitely is top tier like the food. Great selection of meats and good prices. I love the hot stone versus the normal grills. Give it a try yall“

“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!“

“My first time there and I had a really great time, the food was delicious and our Servers were Amazing. Loved it!!“

“I want to thank Donegan for his fantastic help in finding a commercial property for lease. He is a true professional and a genuinely great person to work with. His expertise made the process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Donegan to anyone looking for commercial real estate. Thanks again, Donegan!“

“The best! If you are craving the tiki experience of a lifetime, you owe yourself a visit. The staff is freaking amazing, too! They all are so knowledgeable and friendly. Super recommend!“

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

“Didn't even know they have food as I didnt eat but this DIVE can easily replace any dive out there, and god knows I have many:) Come one, come all...all the regulars are uber friendly and this spot plays many genres of music to fit almost all peeps.“

“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.“

“The Rendition Room is hands down my favorite spot in LA. From the moment you step through the hidden bookshelf door, it’s like you’ve been transported back to the 1930s…intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of mystery. But what really makes this place shine is Richy. He’s not just a bartender; he’s a mixologist in every sense of the word. Every drink he makes feels like it’s been crafted just for you. Beyond that, Richy’s warmth and sincerity are what truly set him apart. You’re not just another customer to him…he makes you feel welcome, like an old friend, every time you stop by. The Rendition Room nails it when it comes to atmosphere, cocktails, and overall vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want a cool night out, this is the place. It’s a hidden gem that never disappoints.“

“The poolside setting is marvelous. I regret that the breakfast menu does not last through lunch time on Sundays, as it is a perfect brunch spot and I was disappointed that the excellent breakfast menu was no longer avaiable at 11:30AM, when we arrived. The spot seems undiscovered by local Hoollywood types, but that will change now that I have discovered the spot.“

“GG is amazing !!! & the service is a amazing as well, pricing is also great too. you can bring outside food in, just not drinks. but he has plenty of options of drinks and snacks as well. i would say everyone should check the menu before coming too just so you know what’s there / rules etc.“

“One of the best bar and venues in town!“

“I love this place. My Boyfriend robert works in the kitchen, he always gets me and my girls in for free and provides our drinks for free. The atmosphere is great as well as the music. I highly recommend this place.“

“Nice place ro drink and have fun“

“Alibi Room was so much fun. Great patio space to make up for the tiny kitchen hehe. The permanent brick and mortar for Chef Roy Choi has been on my list for a bit now. I got the Kogi Sliders and some of their Korean fries. So much more I want to choose! Andrea was a great server!!“

“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!“

“The best place to have a stogIE.
🚨Members and their guests ONLY 🚨
I have been quite a few times, most recently for a birthday party.
The food is always good and the waitresses and hostesses are pleasant, beautiful, and attentive.
The members are all chill and frIEndly too“

“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“

“Great service and super cool vibe“

“Wonderful service, delicious food and the cake was TDF! Dense chocolate and creamy ganache topped off the filet cooked to perfection! And if you like olives, get the fried olives appetizer as well as the tuna tartar … can’t rave enough! Kudos to the chef!“

“The best place in Dtla! Ask for Hiro, he was super amazing and kept our drinks full!“

“This place is pretty amazing !!! They know all there products very good willing to help you find just what you are looking for very good service“

“Golden Gopher is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of character. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail is just right. The food and drinks are top-notch—everything is crafted with care, and you can really taste the quality. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual hangout or a special night out, Golden Gopher delivers an exceptional experience every time. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

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

“Congrats on 20+ years of music and spreading the good word about Peirson Ross Music. We love you! ♥️✨✊🏼🎶“

“Spring never disappoints! We brought friends from out of town, and we had a wonderful meal, starting with the white shrimp appetizer. The duck received rave reviews for the richness of flavor as well as the preparation. The saffron in the bourride complemented the fish. We closed with a panna cotta that was light and fresh. Spring is such a gem. We always enjoy our dinners there, and we are happy to have it in DTLA!“

“Awesome. Great food. Everything delicious, clean. Very nicely decorated.“

“off the chain siperbowl party!“

“Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. I’ve been to Sunset Social Club a few times now and every single visit has been great. Amazing selection, always fresh, staff is genuinely friendly and you can just tell they actually care.
But the space is what really gets me. The lounge is absolutely stunning, so many different environments, beautiful art everywhere and a little hidden gem that I think everyone needs to discover for themselves.
Also don’t sleep on the food. And the latte? One of the best I’ve had in LA. I’m serious.“

“Our waitress, Kiva, helped us feel welcome and well looked-after from our arrival. Great spot and great atmosphere!“

“Always a good time there!“

“Yesterday was the first time in this good restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening very much with the courteous service, with the high quality cuisine and fine drinks and with the decent charge. We will absolutely return there again.“

“A great place to hang out in the afternoon and evening! The patio in the back is awesome when you just want to step away from the bar with your drink and chill. The staff goes out of their way to make sure everyone is well caken care of, so thank you Kiana, Ani, Nichole, Josh, and Daniel. You are the reason we keep coming back. Thank you Jordan and Marcie for your continued creativity in making the bar better for your patrons!“
