A Super-Secret Tiki Bar in West L.A.
A hot, new bar opened up on Sunday in West L.A.: my friend Hawaiian Ryan‘s tiki bar. Crimson walls, faux bamboo bar, a dj, and it’s fully stocked and complete with bartenders who pour with a heavy hand.

The Standard Hollywood: An Uneasy Pool Party
Chris from Modular Records was nice enough to invite me to one of her company’s monthly pool parties at the Standard Hollywood on Saturday. Thing is, that is so not my scene but I figure it’s always good to step outside my comfort zone every once in awhile.

Elevate Lounge: Nightclub With a View
The fire alarm blared, suddenly shutting off the music in Elevate Lounge and setting off seizure-inducing strobe lights.
