From the moment you encounter our dapper doorman, you’ll feel transported to the glamour and forbidden excitement of the speakeasy age. Behind the towering iron doors lies a dynamic den where artisanal cocktails take center stage set in an ambience when Hollywood was a mere ingénue at the start of its illustrious career. Jazz plays in the background while black and white films flicker on the wall, recalling the stars of the silver screen who once reveled in the hidden bars of Tinsel Town.
Several intimate vignettes donned with rich leather couches, high-back chairs, and antiqued cocktail tables create a comfortable setting for guests to be absorbed in casual conversation as spirited servers in little drop waist dresses deliver handcrafted cocktails in the dimly lit drinkery. Larger groups of revelers enjoy libations and delectable bites at the two communal dining tables situated near the front by the frosted-glass windows that have the tendency to cultivate curiosity from passers-by wondering about the mysterious silhouettes bustling inside.
Apparently the word on the street is that we’re the bees knees. Don’t take our word for it, here’s what some people in-the-know have been saying. The gang at LOS ANGELES CONFIDENTIAL MAGAZINE calls us “one of the best places to go in LA when you want a serious cocktail.” The dame at LA Weekly named us “Best Speakeasy” in Los Angeles by saying, “Everything about Next Door Lounge evokes Old Hollywood glamour, with just the right touch of present-day charm.” Our Yelp! reviews ain’t too shabby either.
Come on in and throw back a few. Big Boss will be happy to see you.
