Arclight’s 21+ Screenings: Date Night for Lazy People

So you got a date lined up but can’t think of what to do? You don’t want to just go to a movie theater because you’ll just end up sitting in the dark, tense and quiet, staring at the screen instead of using the time to get to know each other. But what if you…

Velvet Margarita Cantina: Tarantino Tijuana for the Senses, but in a Good Way

And how fun would that be to gather an intimate group of friends together for a night of drinking margaritas and specialty cocktails with names like Velvet Elvis, Blue Velvet and Pink Puta?

Geisha House: Gorgeous Fun in the House of the Rising Sun

I decided to try out the Geisha’s Kiss which was a mix of sake, lychee, Chambord and champagne. It was dee-lish! Fruity and light.

RokBar: Dr. Feelgood Tommy or Reality TV Star Tommy?

Sigur Ros at the Avalon 8/11

I was really curious about the infamous Spider Club since that’s where Nicole Richie’s fiance spins and where Lindsay Lohan parties alongside Paris Hilton…oh wait, they’re competing bff’s…. But the bar was gorgeous.

Dominick's: A Rat Pack Haunt Revisited

Sounds like a lovely place to wind down the evening with your friends, take your honey for a romantic date or kick off the wee hours of the night a la Frankie. Order up some small plates and your standard martini and call it a night.

Red Buddha Lounge: OK, someone needs to go w/me!

This isn’t really a review either since I haven’t gone (and someone needs to come check it out with me) but I was looking on CitySearch (as usual) and came across this review for the Red Buddha Lounge in Hollywood. It used to be a club called Goldfingers that was kinda divey and they played…

Tropicana Bar @ The Roosevelt Hotel

It sounds pretentious, crowded with lookie-loos, Paris Hilton wannabes and too-slick Hollywood agents.
