    I visited Gold Diggers on a Thursday night for my cousin's album release party. I've passed by plenty of times on my way to the freeway, so I was excited to finally check it out. Like most of LA, parking is a challenge, and street parking around here is especially tough. Luckily, I found a free lot nearby--which is almost unheard of in LA--so that was a definite plus. Once inside, I loved the vibe right away. The bartenders were super cool, the drinks were strong and well-made, and the bathrooms were clean (which is always appreciated!). My cousin packed out the venue and put on an incredible show, and the intimate, cozy atmosphere made the night even better. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return--whether for another event or just to grab a drink. Highly recommend!

    Gold-Digging Gold-Diggers. This Hollywood hidden hot spot event venue meets bar meets dance club meets recording studio meets hotel is an experience and then some. A disco ball, crystal sphere lights, modern chic decor, mood lighting, also an entire bar club lounge vibe were just what we needed. I came here to see a show with my friend Matthew at 7 pm - the event space has a great layout. Limited seating either in one of the booths, at the bar, or in the VIP area. Seeing New Constellations live with Dia Luna (new band discovery unlocked) opening for them was a true treat. We had some brews and cocktails throughout the night with the option to start a tab or do one-offs. They take cash or card and I want to say there might be an ATM. There's a bunch of floor space but it can fill up depending on the night, artists, or theme. Deep Cut Disco night coming up. Their non-artist nights tend to be free entry dance, hang, and enjoy events but typically don't start until 10 pm/1030 pm. Restrooms in the back of the bar are clean and easy to use but limited to I want to say two to three people at a time which can cause a line during concerts. If staying at the hotel they do note that noise levels are at least at medium, coming from below (all rooms are on the second or third floor. This includes shows and recording in one of their seven recording studios or Sound Stage. As a hotel guests, you can enjoy the guest lounge or one of ten different rooms and suites that include some fun amenities like a mini fridge, apple tv, coffee & tea bar, your classic ice bucket, steamer, yoga mat, cozy robes, a record player w/ vinyl records, free Wi-Fi and more. They provide codes for hotel and studio guests, making easy in and out more secure access. Parking is street only (metered directly on Santa Monica, but not on the side streets i.e. St Andrews Place, Wilton Place, and Sierra Vista Avenue). Metro also runs along Santa Monica Blvd, Western Avenue, and Gower Street. Closest Red/B Line stations are at Hollywood/Western (20 min by foot) or Vermont Santa Monica station (25 by foot). Some minor things I will note: The sound system got overwhelmed a bit a few times throughout the night, but the acoustics are epic! If using rideshare there's not really a great place to get dropped off or picked up in front all that safely - luckily Matthew's driver dropping him off and our driver when we were leaving had no direct traffic in back of them (between lights). Check out their online shop for exclusive Gold Diggers merch (caps, shirts, sweats, etc) as well as their products: hand sanitizer, room spray, oils, candles, cocktail syrup.

    Interesting venue with a truly intimate feel and impeccable taste. The atmosphere is curated in a way that feels intentional rather than trendy. The drink program is solid and well thought-out, but what really sets this place apart is the music. Their indie band selections are consistently on point--everything from emerging local acts to thoughtfully chosen artists that feel like deep cuts rather than obvious picks. You can tell whoever books the musicians actually knows the indie scene. Always leave having had a great time and having discovered someone new worth following.

    A ten star place! My husband and I absolutely loved our stay in this fun and historic hotel. Beautiful, comfortable, clean, best coffee, plus the bar and music venue downstairs make this hotel one of the best of Los Angeles! It is a must for anyone visiting LA! Can't wait for our return ! Thank you everyone at Gold-Digger!

    I attended this venue for Otis Kane's album release event. First off, parking can be a challenge, there's no designated lot, so we had to find street parking about a block away. The venue itself is small but has a charming bar area. I really enjoyed the show and the overall atmosphere. A highlight was getting my vinyl signed by the artist and even snapping a few pictures. If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend allowing extra time to find parking.

    Hole in the wall former stripper joint turned bar and concert venue. Heard of this place for years and finally got to visit to see Girl Ray all the way from the U.K.! There is a designated off-site parking lot on the north west side of the street. I forget what the intersection is, but keep your eyes peeled for a dark parking lot with a dark banner hung on a fence that says Gold-Diggers parking. There's plenty of parking spaces inside the designated lot. This space is small and the definition of intimate. I was so close to the stage, that one sneeze and I'd be in the band playing the tambourine. I've never been so close to a performer in my life and I had to awkwardly look at the floor or the keyboard player as I was right under the lead singer's microphone stand. Insanely fun though! I wore ear plugs because I was so close and it balanced out the sound perfectly, but if you don't have plugs it may get a bit too loud. They sold merch in the back by the bar and it was literally like swimming against a school of fish to get back there. The restrooms are super cute and nice and you could do a whole photo shoot in there. Definitely one of my favorite or stand-out concert venues I've been to in L.A.

There's no printed menu--instead, one of their highly skilled mixologists asks you a few thoughtful questions and creates a drink tailored exactly to your taste. It's a personalized, artful experience--and our cocktails were nothing short of spectacular. There's no food served, but that honestly wasn't an issue.

If you appreciate craftsmanship in a glass, cozy ambience, and great conversation, Library Bar delivers all of that and more. A true standout.

I had placed a phone order, for pick up; upon arrival, I found the service was prompt. I saw my food ready to go, just past the main walk-in area. Almost immediately after that, I was taken care of by the host and on my way. I've been waiting to try this place for ages so on the drive back to work I was excited to steal a piece of meat from the bag. Initial bite flavor was good, meat was tender just a bit on the chewy side.. I wasn't bothered by it too much as I'd have to leave it in an oven warmer at work. Trying to keep food warm, in doing so, I knew there'd be only two possible outcomes, melting tender or either tough & dry. So, the dish of meat and rice sat in the warmer for almost an hour hour and a half. The downhill slope.... Set the "meat " on the veggies and began to eat. Meat after meat, I kept experiencing the same exact texture. It was the same exact rubbery chew, I initially tasted. Each and every piece was the same exact flavor. There was no peak, there was no pitfall. If you cook or grill, you know this is a red flag. Normally, consistency would be a good thing, a Master craftsman type experience, but this was NOT it. As go on, I get the sinking feeling, this can't be real meat. I lock in, the deeper I dig, each piece looks the same, broken apart the same, tastes the same, just various shapes. They can call me crazy for this one - I'll stand by it. Something is not right here. I'm not even going to throw it away. I'm going to study it for the next few days and post an updated review. I hope I'm wrong but as of right now, I'll never revisit this place. Too freaky of an experience. We

There were some interesting characters day drinking, and it was great people-watching with lots of regulars. The interactions were priceless. The bartender asked a regular if he'd left his helmet, and when he showed it to him, the regular quipped, "My head is bigger." The helmet looked like a kid's size, and the guy did have a small head. It was a funny interaction in a room full of characters, like something out of "A Confederacy of Dunces." The bouncer checking IDs outside, sporting a Santa hat, noticed my wife's upcoming birthday and wished her a happy birthday. It was a really nice touch! We will definitely be back for drinks and to people-watch the interesting characters!
