    I wish I got more pictures, but I love the dark ambiance and the music! Bartender was super friendly and gave us some great shot recommendations as well as a free martini. I will definitely be visiting again and updating my review with more pictures.

    Cool Houston bros bar. Usually a line on the weekends unless you are lucky. Came on a Friday night and it was super busy, but easy enough to get in at 10pm. By 12 it was shoulder to shoulder inside, so snag a table outside if you get there early to enjoy some drinks while it fills up. On the night I went, there was a nice quick burlesque show every hour I would say. Drinks are typical pricing, ambiance here is amazing, super cool vibe, decorated to a T. Loud music, lots of dancing. most people here in there 20's it seems. :)

    Arrived around 9 PM and there was no line at all so we got in right away. I've been wanting to try this bar but it always has a long line, so finally I got to come here without standing in line. We also got lucky to get a street parking nearby and it's very cheap comparing to public parking. Hands down to the best bartender ever! He knows how to make a delicious Midori Sour and not a lot of people know about that drink. I'm so glad I came here lol. We also ordered old fashioned and a glass of whiskey. We also got a comfy seat because there was still empty but the next hour, the place got filled up pretty quick. There's also small dance area inside and that night's dj was playing coolest songs ever!

    No Vacancy is such a fun experience with a cool atmosphere! The entrance is a little difficult to find. It's inside of a gated parking lot. Look up and you'll see the neon No Vacancy light. SPOILER - To get inside, past the bouncer, up the stairs, choose the door to the far right. You'll enter a room with a woman in lingerie sitting on a bed. She will give you a small introduction and then let you inside. She'll hit a button and the entire bed will move mechanically to the side revealing a set of stairs that go down to the speakeasy. You'll be let out into an indoor area with a bar, dj/dance floor, and tucked away seating area with tables and stools. If you get there early enough, definitely try to snag an outdoor table. Way more vibey and cuter than inside. There's also a smaller bar outside too. There's soft couches that line the exterior with tables for your drinks. The house itself has a Victorian haunted but warm feel to it. All of the tables outside had a reserved sign on them but we asked the security if they were taken and they said we could sit there. Take that as you will! Drinks were typical LA prices - around 18 bucks. They were made well and strong though! Love that this place is an experience. Came early to start the night out but would be super interested to see how it comes alive a little later in the night with more people to use the dance floor!

    First time here and it was for an Alt 98.7 event with Wet Leg that I won entry to online ! Easily accessible from Metro as I walked about 8 minutes from the Hollywood/Highland station. Great acoustics and vintage surroundings ! The only drawback : multiple bars and no food ! I wanted to sample things I saw online but there is no food served here anymore apparently- bummer !

    The security staff working the door last night were not only rude and unprofessional, but acted extremely self-important in a situation that didn't warrant it. They made our whole group feel uncomfortable and made it a negative experience. Unfortunately we only got a photo of one of the guys. Be aware if this guy is working the door.

    An aesthetic, speakeasy-type bar tucked away near Hollywood Boulevard! It has a mysterious but casual ambiance that is super unique - I haven't seen else like it. When you first enter the venue, you go up the stairs into a room with a burlesque-dressed lady who sits on a bed. From there, you enter a secret passageway that leads to the bar and a garden out back! The drinks themselves weren't anything special and were slightly on the pricier side. Nonetheless, my friends and I had a great time and we'll be coming back again for the vibes!

    A swanky bar and lounge affixed within a restored 20th century Victorian in the heart of Hollywood? I can't say no to that. Definitely one of the most unique bars you'll ever go to. The experience of entering No Vacancy is very interesting and fun. I won't give too much away. But it does give a great speakeasy vibe. They don't have a menu and focus more on the classic and traditional cocktails. My girlfriend got a Bee's Knees and I got an Aviation. The drinks were solid and pretty good value considering it's in DTLA. Only issue for me was that we came on. Thursday night and they had a DJ playing pretty modern hits. I'm usually not opposed to that type of music but considering how much they put into the "experience" of this place, the music threw me off a little. I had a great time nonetheless at No Vacancy. I'll definitely be back and I'll be taking friends and family as well.

    Visiting LA and saw that I had this place stored in my favorites list without remembering why I had in my list. Decided to go there and check it out anyway. Experience, as described to an Angeleno friend, is as follows: I just remembered why I had No Vacancy on my favorites list. This is why!! Legit speakeasy. Solid 10/10. Dad was blows away by the entrance. We had to feel our way through the three doors at the entrance and figure out which one actually opened to let us in. Then, a lady sitting coyly on a bed welcomes us and gives the usual speakeasy background story and presses a button and voila! A hidden staircase opens up. Dad was blown away and was clapping all the way as we entered the speakeasy

    Wow! What an amazing venue and so unsuspecting. I'm an LA native and No Vacancy has been over my head until now. Originally home to Charlie Chaplin just north of Hollywood Boulevard, NV is a converted Victorian home tucked away adjacent to the valet parking in front of it. Going by here before, I thought the red, neon sign "No Vacancy" meant just that! But as an invited guest from a local, nonprofit radio station I help support for an acoustic set, I was all over it. Valet is $20 (convenience, baby). We walked right in, I gave my name and was set to explore a bit before the set. Topo Chico was complimentary at the bar but the bar was flowing and the lines were crazy long! The space was low lit, moody and dramatic yet felt like a "real home." The garden out back a real yard - it just included built in red booths around the perimeter of the yard facing a patio stage with cafe lights to make the mood glow. The yard was packed for the show. Standing room only to see the stage (don't get me wrong - guests still sat at the booths, but couldn't see). The sound was fantastic and makes you forget you're in the heart of Hollywood. I'd love to come back or even have an event here myself one day! Suffice to say, No Vacancy is on my radar!

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.

The Zombie ($12) had Grapefruit, lime juice, black iced tea, tiger's blood and was wonderful. I really appreciate when places put effort into their NA drinks. Also on the HH menu were a few food options and my friend had a $4 Steak Taco which he was happy with. I had the Box Office burger which was incredibly indulgent with A Cajun-spiced patty, balsamic onions, bacon jam, arugula and garlic aioli on a pretzel bun. Plus, they bring a little pan of melted blue cheese which they will pour tableside onto the burger for you. Cute! And I loved the burger.

With dishes from Shirley Brasserie available all day, it's the perfect spot to enjoy everything from light bites to seasonal plates, surrounded by the warmth of the historic fireplace and the charm of this iconic setting." -- from The Roosevelt Hotel's website. Shirley Brasserie, the restaurant referred to above, is also located in The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (located next to The Lobby). The "iconic" they refer to is the fact that this hotel is historic -- it was built in 1926 during the Golden Era of Los Angeles architecture. It is named after Theodore Roosevelt. The first Academy Awards (Oscars) was held here in 1929. The hotel had its ups and downs since then but currently it looks beautiful and thriving. Take your out-of-state visiting friends/relatives to this place. Because this is a big part of "Hollywood". I recommend The Lobby to hang out after a long day's work or after a nice dinner nearby. This is where my sister and I went after our dinner at Musso and Frank. My sister ordered their Espresso Martini which was really good. I had a beer. Our server wasn't as warm as the ones during my visit in 2023. I think she was an introvert or a bit of a nervous person. But she did not seem potentially horrible. Restroom: I did not go to the restroom this time. I think there was a line. But I remember back in 2023 that you had to ask for a key or a code. Which is understandable for this area. Parking: I recommend the valet parking. If validated, the fee is really reasonable (I forgot how much they charged). We got ours validated because we ordered those drinks from The Lobby.

One thing I really appreciated was the mocktail options. Perfect if you're not drinking but still want something fun. The Wes Colada is a great pick if you like piña colada type drinks, though it is on the sweeter side. The michelada was also really well done, with a nice balance of savory and sour. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.
