Turn the corner on Hudson, there's a door with roses - that's the entrance to the bar. Once you go in an attendant came up to us and asked if we were there for the show and checked us in then let us know when things would start up. Grabbed a drink (pictured) that was about $23 with tip, pretty tasty. The bar is super cool speakeasy vintage dark lit magic themed. Nice bar booths to sit at. Not super huge but it wasn't overtly packed with people sitting / waiting for the show. We went on a Thursday night. The magic showroom was comfortable. We were sat on the wall booth which was a little hard to see at sometimes bc people were one in front of the other and not really staggered but the performers did move throughout the room. The performers were really great and entertaining. It was a nice time and I would consider coming back on another night

Card trick here we go!

Warning (nothing to do with the black rabbit rose but everyone including the venue should be wary.) We made the mistake of parking in the back of the Black rose not at the motel, but the empty lot. There were signs all over stating that it was public parking; we had a miscommunication with the black rabbit rose so we arrived too early so we went to go eat at another location as they weren't open yet - as I went to move my car - a lady there accosted us saying we needed to pay since we parked there. I noticed then that all the signs were now missing. She said I needed to pay or she'd call the cops. Luckily, I have cameras on my vehicle and I told her so; that I could prove the signs were there and to go ahead and call the cops, at which she yelled at us to leave and if she ever saw me again, she'd tow my car. I moved it to the lot around the corner which was $20 - but felt so much safer. - Review of black rabbit rose - The magic show on Thursday was so much fun. The magician was funny and the clairvoyant was very entertaining. We were at the very front and had to keep scooting our chairs to turn around because they do go all over the room to include everyone, which might make the chairs a bit loose, so be careful. The drinks were great - we got the dark arts & it did not disappoint; we prefer our drinks light with more cranberry flavor so they were just right. Everyone was very nice and friendly at the venue and we appreciated everyone wishing us a happy anniversary!

Audience interactive magic trick

This is one of those places it's been on my list forever and I finally decided to give it a try. I went to an 8 o'clock show on Friday night. I love the entrance. It's very beautiful. When we were entered, we were told to have a seat in the main bar and wait for someone to come and let us into the show. The front bar is very cute. The server told us that we can open a tab there and then transfer it into the magic room. We ordered one of their signature drinks. However they were out of a key ingredient. This is always a pet peeve of mine. It was cream of coconut so nothing too crazy that they shouldn't have been able to get. I'm a mocktail girl and I appreciate that they were able to make one of the drinks on the menu a mocktail. We also ordered the spring rolls. What I wish would've been made more clear is that food does not go into the magic room we had to hurry up and finish them so we could go into the magic room. I would not have ordered them if I knew this was the case and the timing on when the person would come out and take us in. So we made it in the magic room. I love the secret entrance. The room itself is pretty cool. The magic show was subpar. Very strange humor by both magicians. Also, I could totally see everything that Fitzgerald was going to do like at one point he was supposed to make a potato appear out of the air, but I could totally see it in his hand. It was way too big and his fingers were spread out, and I could see the potato . The interactive cart trick was fun . The fire/razor eater was very excellent though. She was the best part of the show. So overall, this place is just average. It was a fun one time experience, but I wouldn't pay to go back.

Mezcal cocktail

It's been so long since we visited this magic show lounge. We went for a special Halloween magic show this time and it was so much fun. Place is still the same and it felt a little stuffy inside cause this is a very old building. But the 20s vintage style was very much to my liking! The magic show was great. The magicians were funny and very interactive with audience. Drinks were not bad, the bubbly was better than cocktails though. I liked how organized and orderly everything was. This is a great place to see a magic show or just hang out a bit in the heart of Hollywood! Ps. Parking was $30 and increased to $40 by the time we left around 11pm.

My friend surprised me with an evening of magic at a sexy speakeasy. We got there right when they opened bc we had wanted to have dinner before the show. While we were able to enjoy cocktails, sadly dinner didn't workout before the show, but the servers went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I really wish I remembered our servers name because she was amazing! Dinner and drinks were ret-ta-go when we got out of the show. We had: Cocktails were great! The Dove Tail was my fave, but the one with vanilla vodka was surprisingly good too! My friend enjoyed the Zig Zag Lady and the Dark Arts was okay Vegetable egg rolls: meh Thai Tacos w/ Beef: delicious! Literally just beef on a tortilla but the flavors were divine Drunken Noodles w/ Shrimp: Very yummy! Pad See Ew w/ Shrimp: okay I enjoyed the magic show and they made me and the other birthday attendees part of the show in special ways. Asia Rae and the card trick were my faves of the evening!

Chicken fried rice
Aylin C.

Did the dine and show on a Tuesday. I believe it's called Valentino's Dine and Delight. Although ticket says 7, show doesn't start until 8 and you don't get your food until 9. Show was cool, wasn't too impressed. Felt more like a comedy magic show, which was fine. They call people on stage, that was fun. The only thing that really bothered me was the serving size of the food, especially the fried rice with chicken. Very disappointing. Maybe charge more but give a decent size for the meal. We all left hungry. Bummer.

I have been attending Black Rabbit Rose for over a decade and have always made it part of my evenings in Hollywood. Back when this was Butchers & Barbers it carried the same vibe but since the addition of live magic shows able the continued solid drink menu it's stayed stable constant and most importantly welcoming. We love the amazing mixology master of Mario. He makes us feel part of the family and makes a killer Whiskey Sour Served Up with egg white. There is a special energy here that makes a person who lives here feel special. Even though I don't know the Houston brothers personally I always sing their praises for curating such impeccable cultures in each of their venues! We are lucky to have them and people like Mario behind the bar to conduct our evenings libations!

It was fun, playful, and really interesting. I came here for the magic show, and I would recommend it to everyone.

Black Rabbit Rose is what Hollywood dreams are made of! Incredibly underrated, I'm so happy I got the opportunity - through @freedomfrymusic's Instagram, to be put on the list of this ever elusive small venue. I came on a weeknight withy plus one and found free parking on Hudson (impossible on weekends). Black Rabbit doesn't have a sign - look for the logo! I gave the bouncer my name, he gave us bracelets and in we went! We stepped into the small bar with a few booths feeling transported into another world. It was an album listening pre party so my guest and I got our drinks at the bar and after, the show was starting. There is a line to exit and be seated and staff was great, seating us at tiny tables in a candle it room with a small stage. Since we were only two, we were pretty mystified at our luck getting close to the stage, a couple rows back. Great view! Good service wasn't available for the event but that was fine we were prepared. We had a great view and the audio was great! I'd definitely consider coming back for a Magic show, particularly if tourists are in town for that old timey Hollywood vibe. A great date night idea but also the perfect to rent out for a small event, it's worth the trip!

Show room
Shannon C.

Loved the ambiance of the bar and the room that the Magic Show was in. It was very dark and mysterious while comfortable and classy. The servers were attentive and welcoming and accurate in their descriptions of the drinks. The specialty drink menu does need to be broadened! The cocktails were nice and not weak at all, but still left more to the imagination. The performers of the evening were definitely fun & entertaining and the Magic was impressive! I'd definitely plan another night out with friends here. More attention needs to be given to keeping the bathroom clean and was quite disappointed that it was the single stall bathrooms. The Thai entrees and appetizers were delicious!! The parking lot we found was $25 which was a little steep for a one hour show but probably average for Hollywood.

Nostalghia hanging from the walls as her vocals wash through us.
Coco B.

On the infamous and jaded-with-tourist tchotchkes-Hollywood Boulevard, on a corner, sits an inconspicuous speakeasy bar, all velvety and chandeliered inside. The cocktails are okay. But what blew us into another dimension was the concert in their small Vampire Victorian-styled adjacent theatre. Nostalghia and her band of master musicians lifted us off, and we flew through a soundscape that I can only describe as otherworldly and fucking marvelous! The band was jamming. No rehearsal required with musicians who are at the top of their game. Nostalghia's shockingly deep voice soared and dived and whispered and moaned, and every now and then screeched like a banshee. I don't think this woman is human. We were transfixed for two hours, then floated home on a space cloud of soul-changing beauty, had dreamless sleep and woke up filled with her Magic. Catch her if you can, she is a known recluse and only comes out when she needs our blood. It's worth it!

Cocktails Menu

The venue is located in the historic Hudson Hollywood Apartments building. There street parkinga a pay lot around the corner. We were a large group. We did the Tuesday night show and dinner. Our hostess was very professional and quick with our orders. I enjoyed the selection of Thai cuisine. I found the food to be very good. The drinks were good as well. Not overly strong. The magic show was intimate with several 2 seater tables. It was also engaging with audience participation. The magician Gary Fitzgerald was entertaining. He took the time to give us a bit of history about the venue, the building, and also to learn the audience names. Overall, everyone take the time to make sure we were enjoying our experience. Truly a rustic hidden gem. As customary, I end with, "Will I return?" As fast as you can say abra-cadabra !

We made reservations for Friday night for the 8 o'clock show... Now I get off of work at five so I went home got dressed and then we took an Uber and headed to the show. Haven't been to Hollywood in a while. It's an a really cool spot near a bunch of really cool things and if it wasn't Friday and I was being tired and having to work on Saturday, we probably would've went now we were absolutely amazing and had our socks knocked off by the drink that we got it's called the honey bunny absolutely delicious then we got our socks knocked off by some preshow magic. The guy was so good. We were all just standing there in amazement like with mouth dropped open so we knew we were in for a good time as soon as they let us in and they sat us down. It was a party of seven. It was just so amazing. Speak easy looking just all of these things everywhere and just amazement and beauty and and just looks magical, BMC and magician and the fire eating and the razor blade swallowing and the guessing of peoples passwords on their phones absolutely just jaw-dropping. This is a must see show. It's great for birthdays, anniversaries first dates. It's a really cool spot.

Ask the Community - Black Rabbit Rose

What is the difference between general admission and VIP?

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

I don't know if this venue is wheelchair-accessible. It might be best to call them and ask specifically if they might have a separate entrance for customers who need a wheelchair-accessible entrance.… 

What time does the jazz start? Do reservations need to be made to get a table for the jazz event? Thanks!

Jazz starts after the show ends around 9:30pm. Last time I was there reservations were not needed for jazz

Are masks required in the theater currently?

What does the VIP ticket include? Valet parking available? Any food available for purchase with magic show?

Nothing ... absolutely nothing. It's a scam -- there's no VIP section and the free drink that's supposed to come with the VIP tickets is a foul concoction.

Are vaccinations required?

No.

Is this club absolutely for 21 and over or can teens get tickets?

My guess is there is most likely an age requirement. You have to enter through the bar. When we went, there was someone checking IDs. I'm not certain if there is an age requirement for a regular show ticket or not, however there is for VIP tickets… 

Are you still open (Covid)?

Yes Instagram shows they are holding illegal concerts with bar service.

Do they serve food non-alcoholic cocktails ? -- i can't consumen alcohols anymore

Yes they do

Is it kid friendly and are shows throughout the day?

It is a bar. So I'd so prolly not. I wouldn't take my son personally.

Is it worth going any other days than Friday through Sunday?

Can 18 year olds go see the show or is it 21 and over?

I believe it's for 21 only. There is a security guy outside who checks IDs.

How much is the magic show per person?

$40 pp

Does anyone know what "The Cabin LA" is? It is one of the choices on their website, but I can't find any info about it. Thanks!

Is magician here every night?

Yes, there is usually one magician that walks around the bar throughout the night.

Do they change up the show or is it always the same? I want to take someone but I don't want to see it again if it's the same show.

Friends of mine have been there, all at different times and days of the week...we have all watched a slightly different show with a few of the performers being changed from one show to the next.

Is it 21 and over for the show?

Yes.

How long is magic show?

About an hour.

Is there an age requirement?

It's a bar that serves alcohol so 21 and over!

Everything was fine. Bartender is awesome. We sat at a booth for 2 hrs, paid our bill, then walked to Boardners at 1am. I quickly realized I had no wallet and must've left it at Power House - so walked my way back at around 1:20am. The Door Man, who had previously been a completely chill and nice dude, began screaming at a man behind me to "get the F--- out of here." I turn and see it was a very drunk patron who I recognized had been in the bar earlier. He then turned to me and screamed in my face to also "get the f--- out of here." I came to find out that patron had been kicked out and possibly had altercation with the Door Man Eric. So clearly the Door Man thought I was connected somehow to that random drunk patron. I tried to calmly explain that I did not know that patron and I was only returning because I left my ID/ credit card slim wallet somewhere in the bar. He proceeded to keep shouting that I was lying because they don't hold credit cards there, even though I was saying my entire wallet was somewhere physically in the bar. He then proceeded to say I was too drunk to come in and that I had "bad vibes" and that I was a weirdo and to get the f-- out of here. I continued to try to calmly reason with him, and he suddenly lunged at me as if to attack me - this man has a foot height on me - and I had to jump back off the curb into the street to evade him. I don't like to speculate but I suspect drug use was a factor here. At this point, I pull out my phone and continue to try reasoning - at a distance - but nothing is getting thru - so I go back to Boardners, tell my wife what happened and tell her I need her to try to go in and get my wallet. I followed far enough behind where they he wouldn't see me, but she was in there for a good five minutes, so I got worried. I called her, and then I hear this doorman shouting at my wife. I RUN to the open door where I see him towering over her in aggressive hostility, and I see my WALLET in her hand. We walk away. My wife tells me that they found the wallet where I knew I had left it. When it clicked that this lost wallet must have belonged to me, aka "the weirdo", he told her she was "86'd" there and then called her a "weirdo". When my wife told Eric that she "doesn't come here anyways", he became enraged and grabbed her with both of his arms as if to drag her out. He must've thought better of it and took his arms off when my wife stood called it out, and luckily the bartender was helpful enough to gave up the Door Man's name (hopefully that was an honest answer). I challenge the managers of this bar to review the video footage if there is any that took place outside of the doorway and inside the bar between 1am and 1:45. And to retain that footage.

I informed the bartender we had been seated for 20 mins and no one had come, I was begrudgingly then served at the bar and paid - tab had the nerve to charge 18 percent service fee. What service?? Once I returned with my drinks to the table, we watched as every new party that arrived struggled to get served or get attention or menus of any kind. The existing parties that were there also did not receive service and the used tables were left unattended to and not cleared. The 2 bar lobby staff that were "working" the floor that night on duty that night need to be fired and replaced with folks that actually feel like working. Unacceptable service.

The wild mushroom tagliatelle was phenomenal the pasta was just right and oh those delicate but powerful herbs, divine! The Japanese sweet potatos were so tender, the sauce that was one them was so yummy, I loved it. The steak & frites were scrumptious, steak was perfectly medium rare and fries were classic. The charcuterie board was so good we got the 3 cheese and 2 meats, everyone enjoyed it. The fresh baguette was crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, only thing that could have made it better was a little balsamic. Overall wonderfully surprised by the lobby bar on a Tuesday night.
