It was an interesting night . We were invited to come out for a magic show that successfully tripped us out and dinner that was good but not great . Service was slow and not friendly but not too rude ( if that makes sense ). I had the duck and I'm glad I did 4/5. It was moist and flavorful and paired well with mashed potatoes. We didn't test out their escape rooms but planning to come back for that . read more

As someone who loves exploring L.A. nightlife and dining, I really wanted Room 13 to impress -- but unfortunately, the experience fell short of the premium price point. We came for one of their shows, which required a $25 cover, and while the performance was fine, it didn't quite live up to the cost. What surprised us even more was the $50 food minimum per person, making the night significantly more expensive than expected. With those prices, the food should have been memorable -- just not in the way it was. The cocktails were solid, nicely balanced, and honestly the highlight of the evening. However, the food is where things really slipped. My risotto arrived crunchy, and I ended up sending it back -- something I never do, especially at a place with this kind of pricing and atmosphere. My friend's pasta was extremely citrus-heavy, overpowering any other flavors, and the chicken in their dish was uncomfortably dry to the bone. The ambiance is cool and the concept has potential, but when you're spending that much just to walk in the door, you expect the food to meet that level. Unfortunately, it didn't -- and for that reason, two stars feels fair. I hope they fine-tune the kitchen, because with better execution this could be a spot worth the splurge. read more

5/5 experience!!!! My boyfriend and I had a blast here yesterday evening. We had come here for their Daycare escape room, which was perfect for a group of 2. We decided to come back later to check out their bar/restaurant which serves both food and alcohol. The ambience and decor are amazing. There aren't that many tables, so the setting is very intimate. There was a Halloween-themed three-person show at night; I thought the performers/singers were really great and fun. On the first floor, the escape rooms were still going on in the evening, so you can watch the escape room staff interact with the players. The escape room front desk staff were all dressed up in scary outfits and makeup and were all acting in character. You might even see some of the staff scaring the players, which is entertaining. I agree with other reviewers that the food was good but nothing to write home about. We ordered the shrimp limona linguine, ossobuco di Agnello, and focaccia as a side. The focaccia bread was really good; it was fresh, warm, and toasted; it came as 4 pieces. The shrimp limona linguine was suuuuper lemon-y and tart. I like lemons, but even then, it was a bit much. The shrimps were done well. The ossobuco lamb was a huge portion with lots of meat on the bone. Overall, the food was good but the entrees came out lukewarm which was disappointing. I didn't have any problems with the service. All our food came out in a timely manner, and nothing was forgotten Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely come back. read more

My partner and I visited Room Number 13 located inside Escape Hotel on October 3rd for the magic show, and it was truly an unforgettable night! From the moment we stepped inside, the 1920s ambiance swept us away -- a perfect blend of romance and mystery, with Frank Sinatra's smooth voice drifting through the air like a spell. I ordered the Lychee Express, which was beautifully balanced and refreshing, while my partner went classic with an Old Fashioned -- perfectly mixed and rich in flavor. For dinner, I had the Shrimp Scampi (absolutely delicious!) and my partner went with the Burger, which was equally impressive. The magic show itself was fun and engaging to the audience-- the performers are not only talented but fully committed to the atmosphere, making the entire experience feel immersive and theatrical. Fun date night and definitely not my last visit! read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: 2/5 Family friendly: 2/5 Stroller friendly: NA/5 ADA accessible: ??/5 GOOD: Chill ambiance and love entertainment was excellent. There was a trio playing jazzy/Poppy/ funk music with a Amy Winehouse sounding singer, sax player and keyboardist. Since it was Roaring 20's themed night, see people were dressed to the 9's. Drinks were great and perfectly crafted. Espresso martini $19. Basically all cocktails were $19. OK: Food is decent, but a bit on the pricey side; after all we are in Hollywood. We ended up ordering Mushroom risotto $26 was creamy and had good flavor but the risotto was a bit overcooked and mushy. Wife ordered blackened salmon $36 that a bit small but packed a flavor punch. I think my favorite thing we ordered was the Italian style meatballs $18 made with beef, bison and lamb. Had a bit of the gamey lamb taste but decent. Service was ok as well. We had to remind our waiter about water and utensils a couple of times, however. Oh and BTW, 20% is AUTOMATICALLY added to your bill that they don't tell you in the beginning, so that seems to be a new trend. Although this has nothing to do with Room Number 13 itself, it is part of the experience, I feel. Parking is off-site and we found one for $25, but had to walk about 1-2 blocks. Definitely not a kid friendly place (the Restaurant/lounge area) but the escape room might be good for teens. For my ADA friends, I'm sure there is an elevator somewhere in the building, but it'll be a tight squeeze trying to maneuver around the restaurant up top. Overall not bad. Since I live outside of LA and Hollywood it took me about 80 min to get here and same to get back. So I don't think I'd make the trek out again, but if you're in the area I'd give them a look! read more

I spent my pre-birthday dinner here with a friend and I had a really great time. I really loved my mushroom risotto and my friend got the duck with berries. It was very tasty. I really enjoyed the Frank Sinatra show and the guy singing. I forgot his name unfortunately but I really liked that. He was taking request for songs and I liked the ambience and how everything was set up very nice. I'm definitely planning to come back. read more

For my birthday, my girlfriends treated me to the Grand Illusion Magic Show, and it was a fantastic experience! We attended the 9:30 pm show on a Friday night. The admission fee was $20 per person, along with a minimum consumption requirement. While the food at the venue wasn't anything extraordinary, the main event was the show itself! Without giving away any spoilers, I can promise you that there were incredible tricks and plenty of opportunities for audience participation. Please note: no pics or video recording of the acts. The venue itself was engaging, with a spooky haunted hotel theme, escape rooms, and the staff being fully immersed in the act. Just a heads up, though - there is a jump scare in one of the women's bathroom stalls, so be prepared for that! Overall, it was a memorable and exciting birthday celebration, and I highly recommend checking out the Grand Illusion Magic Show for a unique experience! There is easy garage parking with security right next door called Cherokee & Hollywood Parking Garage. read more

Room Number 13 - Cuba night - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I didn't know what to expect when booking a reservation here. I got the impression that the restaurant had a vintage and old Hollywood era feel to it but there was much more! When you walk in, there's spooky characters at the door to greet you. The downstairs are escape rooms and great if you're into that kind of thing. We were directed upstairs by a friendly specter and had dinner. The highlight of the night was the songstress they had on stage. The food was good, our drink orders came out quick and the atmosphere was perfect. We came here on a Sunday night and had a lovely time. I highly recommend this restaurant as a date or group outing. A bit on the pricey side but totally worth it. Multiple themes and activities going on here make it very tempting to return. read more

My friends invited us out on a Saturday to celebrate our Birthday and this place was brilliant. (Sidebar: This is inside a Mock Hotel, the downstairs consists of several Horror themed Escape Rooms. So there's this guy down there yelling and scaring people all night. It's an interesting combo) We head upstairs where it's decorated like a 1920s Speakeasy. There's LIVE music and Burlesque like performances. The food was okay but I'd go back for the decor alone. We had great conversations and enjoyed the time with our friends. Gorgeous place to have dinner. read more

This place is horrible. Avoid at all costs. The service is awful. They include the tip in your inflated bill so you will be ignored after they drop off your mediocre meal. Isaiah the waiter is rude and incapable. We had to walk to the bar just to get more water. Upon leaving, the host lied and said not to bother leaving a bad review because they were "closing the restaurant" but of course they are still open. If you go here after reading this post you will be disappointed and I will feel bad that I've failed in choosing the right words to describe how bad this place is. read more

Magic show was ok but the service is HORRIBLE!!! Took more than 30 minutes to get our order by the waiter who did not care and was not apologetic for not even checking on us after we sat down he was just talking to people and not paying attention to service since they already get paid 20% automatic tip. Food was ok but so over priced would never go back again don't waste your money here you will just leave pissed off with the service read more

tldr: A bar/restaurant sitting above the "hotel" lobby. This themed establishment is like La La Land Horror Nights. Live music for dinner and drinks and an escape room built in downstairs for murder mystery, places like this are far and few between and I'm here for it. -= These Are My Impressions =- We stopped here only for drinks and music near closing hour so my perspective is limited. It was wildly empty on Sunday night. The drinks were solid if a bit pricey and the entire vibe was like being out for cocktails with friends in the 40's. A live jazz band played classics and served as the perfect background for conversation with friends. -= Would I Return? Rating =- Sure. I'm curious about this escape room and show options. The location is a bit cumbersome to get to for an evening like this but we're in LA after all. Service was very nice and at times, in character. Looks fun. read more

Room Number 13 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came to this show because my husband loves Frank Sinatra, first off the bathrooms are by escapes rooms apparently and I accidentally walked into one while trying to find the bathroom, I was then approached by an aggressive employee who I was told named Chris, he said not to go into escape rooms which were next to the restrooms... the way he approached me was very aggressive. Never would I come back to this establishment. Keep in mind you pay $20 a person just to hear someone sing who is not singing constantly... you must order 2 items per person also and drinks are water downed. read more

I visited here during Halloween season with some friends. We were looking for drinks. You know me, I love interesting names. I was attracted to the venue because of the name and the exteriorlooked amazing! I wasn't disappointed. Inside had a spooky haunted hotel and speak easy day. They lived up to their, October "full contact experience". We asked a gangster zombie staff member to take our photo. He was a very opinionated, gangster. He stayed in character the entire time. We loved it! Upstairs, we had drinks in the lounge area. It was a sea of red. Red couches and upholstered chairs, even red walls. I tried the Headless Horseman Espresso Martini, and Lemon Drop. The drinks were delicious and a bit pricey. I get it, they have to pay for the venue. They have several live shows. It happened to be Sinatra nite (FYI $20. Admission and minimum 2 items from the menu). The escape rooms ($39-$49 Wow!) are to the rear, near the restrooms. There is a garage parking with security right next door (Cherokee and Hollywood parking garage). As I usually ask, "will I return?" If the escape rooms are as great as the rest of the place...Heck, yeah! read more

Best vibe of any bar/lounge on the blvd. A+ to the decorators. Cocktails are really good. Probably the best espresso martini in LA. Haven't tried the full food menu, but had pasta al limone with shrimp. One of the tastiest pasta dishes I've ever had! My favorite time to hang out here is Sinatra Night. Douglas Roegiers is a class act and very entertaining. read more

When you first enter the hotel, you are greeted by a doorman/concierge that leads you to a stairway up the restaurant. The host immediately sat us for our 7:30 pm reservation for the Sinatra night. The singers is amazing, if only I could hear him better. The speakers were facing away from us and there was 3 table of ladies who should have been at a bar/strip club than a live show. They kept screaming and cheering at the singer, chatting so loudly, that I can barely hear the singer. (May I suggest ceiling speakers, so that at least even if the table beside you are loud, you can still hear the singer sing) the food was decent for its price. The wait staff, looked annoyed when I asked for more water, but I don't blame him since he was waiting to the 3 tables of ladies as well. We chatted with the people next to our table who were visiting fromTexas and echoed the same opinion. They were there for a quite nice evening to hear some Sinatra music live but barely heard anything since they were right beside the 3 tables of ladies. When I made the reservation, I specified that we are celebrating a birthday, but I had to even ask the wait staff if they do anything special for birthdays...I read from 1 review that the singer gave her shout out all night but I guess tonight was not one of the special night. I don't know if I would come back and spend $500 ($120 for 6, for the entrance fee and dinner, which my son-in-law paid) i really want to support these kind of establishments. Maybe i will give it another try and hopefully be seated at a better spot.... read more

Took my daughter for her 26th Bday. Very cool vibe. Show was great singers and dancers made it great. Service was not good. Waiter did not take our orders until we reminded him. Took one order and left the rest of us wondering if he'd come back. We waved him down and he took two more orders then later I had to wave him down again to take my order. He actually said.."Oh shit". Took my order and was gone. I was a waiter years ago, it was not crowded yes he seemed overwhelmed. He comes back with one meal, gives it to my sister and disappears again. For about 15 min. My sister wanted to wait for us...so her food got cold. My daughter and niece got their food. From a different server. I waited about 10 min more for mine. We had ordered drinks. No problem there. But I asked for iced tea. I asked for sweetener. Waiter said "we don't have sweetener." Lol! I then asked if they had a dessert menu. He says. No.... I took my Daughter, her best friend, and sister there to relax and enjoy some mellow music and food. I never relaxed. It felt like we were hurried out for the next show. So you get your meal late...and at different times. Gotta eat quick for the next show. Definitely not a great place to chill. Food was Excellent however. Would have been nice to eat together. Performers were Excellent. Vibe was cool. Will I return? Nope. Would I recommend? Not really. Maybe for the escape room. But I'm not doing that either. I call it a learning experience. And we left to a restaurant with desserts. We saw the waiter sipping on a glass on the side. Wish I woulda had one of those. lol. Wait.... I think it was a glass from a previous diner...Blecch! Ok so Sunmary. You pay $25 per person to reserve. You pay 20% gratuity and don't know about it. ( room is dim lit so you can't read it) get crappy service. Entertainment is good. Good is good. You pay for parking... I will not comeback. Will not bring family here and I had planned on it. Can't recommend. I think they should keep the performers. And bar. Get rid of the rest. I still won't be back. read more

It was the end of an amazing first date, we are having our first kiss (yes it was intimate but not much tongue, and we had our hands in appropriate places) anyways our waiter interrupts us and says "theres family here" it was midnight, we were sitting in the very back bar lounge area where there should definitely not have been any kids back there especially at the time. (midnight) I would've given this place 4-5 stars because the hostess was great but I wish they hadnt let kids into the bar at midnight on a friday, this little girl kept wandering by our table and just lurking near us even though her table was not nearby, it was super awkward and weird) what was good though was our russian hostess, she was amazing and had actually chosen the great table and she helped the date start off great, the lounge singer was also great and i love the old school hollywood glam decor the drinks were pretty good too, i got the spicy mia margarita and i like how the bartender mixed it but ya the waiter was not outrightly rude nor mean, he was polite yet i def heard a passive agressiveness to his tone (also before, when my date had gone to the bathroom and the waiter came by i tried complimenting him on the restaurant and instead of a simple "thank you" or a smile from the waiter, he instead answered in a weird "okk.. okk.." (but i was being very nice and complimentary of the restaurant so that was weird and already threw me off) I hope the waiter doesnt get in trouble, but he definitely needs a talking to and to let adults be adults and to completely solve the problem is by following the law and not allowing children into bars serving alcohol read more

I had been wanting to check this place out for a while. Finally I went with my husband after dinner, we didn't have tickets or a reservation so we were just winging it. Luckily we were accommodated without a problem, which was great especially for a Saturday night. Upon entering, you are immediately transported into a spooky hotel. There are staff at the front to guide you depending on if you are doing the magic show or the Escape hotel. We went upstairs for the Magic show, and we were waiting in a line on the stairs with a bunch of people that were all sort of confused on the entry process. It took a few minutes for the host to come greet everyone and so they lost some customers along the way. We were the patient ones and were seated at an intimate table amongst a couple of other couples who were dining. We were just there for cocktails and there was no pressure to spend a bunch of money from the staff (no entry fee either). The Magic show started shortly after and while it was not fancy, it was pretty impressive. We could not figure out the tricks, so we definitely got our magic fix. While this is not a luxurious magic show in Vegas, it is solid and worth checking out. The other guests there were having dinner, and I was able to look at some of the items that passed by, none of it looked very appetizing to me. I'd recommend skipping out on the dinner and just enjoying cocktails and magic. read more

My boyfriend found this place on IG. He booked two weeks in advance for 20 bucks each. Based on IG videos it looked like a good time. Food: We got a Caesar salad. It was quite big and good. I got the Cajun pasta. First off for 25$ the portion is ridiculous. They brought out a side salad-sized plate and the meat was Overcooked. Flavor good. The burger was nothing special. Drinks: I got the Paloma, it was good and strong. Performance: cocktails and tuxedos. I had so much hope. The dancers were cute, one having a little more skill than the other. The singers. Microphones were low you barely could hear. The song selections were not appropriate for the singers skill set. They all could sing but were singing songs that required a little bit of soul, in which none of them had (James brown, Stevie wonder and Aretha Franklin). Instrumentalist were the best part of the show, sax and piano. Service: they seated us 20 mins late, we showed up 30 mins early because we live in Riverside County. All we could do is sit in the lobby. We weren't allowed to go to the bar, waitresses good, food and drinks came out quick once there. They should do a few modifications. Good idea, execution needs a little help. read more

This restaurant was so great, we went to the the cabaret show the table next to us got a free champagne bottle for being the loudest and just having that great vibe. The atmosphere was very lively. The food was amazing I got the cod fish, it was amazing! Everything was going fine until the woman who delivered our plates slammed our food and drinks. We tried talking to her but she just stormed off with attitude. Im not sure what we had done but that took the away the fun vibe. Over all service from others are amazing. The show 10/10. read more

The vibe is great, the food is good, but the service is terrible! While dining we even discussed how fun the place was and it would be fun to bring out of town guests here. I never want to return. The dining area only had a few other parties, but throughout the 2 hour experience we only saw our server a handful of times and had to prompt them to take our food order. Upon finishing our dinner, and drinks we sat with empty plates until I finally was able to wave our server over. I requested the check and debated what kind of gratuity to leave, I'm a good tipper but was obviously frustrated with the service.. We waited over 10 minutes before I finally walked to the bar to be cashed out. Only to learn a 20% gratuity is added to every tab. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! The service is horrendous and they will expect you tip regardless. WHAT A JOKE! Would not recommend this place to anyone, and I'm still upset about my 20%. read more

Very nice food and even better entertainment! The singer was fantastic and vibes were great

Worst food I've ever had in a restaurant in my entire life. It absolutely SUCKED. Vegetables were hard, cold and burnt. The ossubuco tasted like a skid row dog turd.

I was invited to a magic show by a friend on friday the 03/21/25 , but our evening was ruined by our extremely rude waitress, Maria. We had made a reservation and were looking forward to trying the street-style tacos before ordering a main course. However, when we asked Maria questions about the food preparation due to my friend's food allergy, she became angry and annoyed, rolling her eyes at us, she would dropping off the food she slammed the plates and stomping her way out .Her demeanor made us uncomfortable, and we decided not to order more food. When we asked for a manager, Maria claimed that one was not available that night. We later found out that her name was Maria from other staff members. The setting of the place was nice, but Maria's behavior ultimately ruined our experience. The show was cool tho. read more

I didn't expect much from room number 13 originally, but we just wanted to get together in a small group for dinner and some kind of burlesque style show. Usually these types of experiences are one or the other, good performance and average food or vise versa. Room number 13 was both! The entertainment was spectacular and they sang and danced very well! Kept us all entertained! The food was actually really good! For an appetizer I got the Ssamjang chicken tacos and they were nice and flavorful! For the entree I had the steak au poivre and it was cooked perfectly medium rare and the flavors were on point! The cocktail I had was the Hotel Nacional Especial which was Simple syrup, lemon juice, apricot brandy, pineapple juice and aged Rum! So good! There is a parking structure right next to the location and we paid a flat rate of $12 which was an awesome find! Things to keep in mind is that you are prepaid ahead of time which includes a cocktail under $20, and appetizer, and one entree! It includes gratuity as well! Anything in addition you order or cocktails over $20 you obviously pay there at the location. You are only given 1.5 hours from your reservation time, not the time you're seated so if you and or your other party is running late, keep that in mind and also have them tell you what they wish to drink and eat so you can order it when your order goes in since it has to be put in at the same time. It sucks but it makes sense since they're on a schedule and they have reservations that need to be honored. So no hanging out after dinner! You can always hang out in their awesome lobby but not at the dinner table. Overall we all had a great time and actually want to go back again! read more

It's an ambiance and beverage place (cocktails will run you about $26 since gratuity is included) think 1920's speak easy horror decor cocktail bar. Tasty beverage but def pricey. Will I go back for the ambiance, absolutely. The performer was singing Sinatra and Manilo, creating an old school vibe in a dark, dim ambiance read more

Went for dinner and the magic show. Easy to make the reservation and parking was easy too. Upon walking in the lobby we were greeted by the friendly staff and guided up stairs to our table. The room has a dark and cozy vibe to it. Our waiter was attentive and the service was great. We ordered the spicy tuna crispy rice, shrimp linguini, the spaghetti bolognese and a couple of cocktails. The show was great and lots of audience participation. I wish the food was as good as the show. It was nothing to write home about but decent. The cocktails were tasty but a little weak. Overall it was a good experience but I don't think I'll go back any time soon. read more

I highly recommend this place! It feels a little bit like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. The place is just gorgeous and really fun with the 20s vibe. We had a 10 o'clock reservation for four and we were allowed to add one more person. At $80 a person I think that's such a great deal for an appetizer, main, and a drink. My espresso martini was so delicious and so are the other cocktails. I got the rock shrimp tempura and it was overdone. My seafood risotto was good. I think that this is one of the places where you come for the ambience like the amazing dancing so, not the food. I would definitely come again! read more

Street parking (paid or if you're lucky, unpaid but a lil bit of a walk). Literally on WOF, it stands out being one of the only escape experiences and looks fancay! It's located within the Hollywood Hotel Escape room and is on the 2nd floor. I didn't see an elevator so I am not certain there is easy access. Reservations recommended esp on Fridays, Weekends and Latin performance Nights via OpenTable. Food and beverages are $$ (but priced because of location) and the overall feel is more like a bar than speakeasy but it's the experience you're going for. We got a couple of beverages and a salad to share, nothing to rave about and drinks were like one's at cheesecake factory. But the servers and performers make this place. They will put their hearts into making sure that everyone has a great time. Friday Saturday evenings have table side magic performances and night long live jazz, with hilarious emceeing. Time flies here so if you're wondering how to kill time before your escape room, this is it! read more

If you're doing anything on Hollywood Boulevard expect to drop some money. Ambiance: Cute spot with a spooky atmosphere. If you're here for dinner walk pass the lil hotel check in thing ( that's for the escape room stuff) and walk upstairs on the left and wait to be seated. There was a jazz singer that was performing on stage while we chilled so that was cool. She played some contemporary hits and classics. We came on Friday and they have an up close and personal magician that comes to your table. It was a good time. Food: We ordered the Paloma cocktail, Rock shrimp tempura appetizer and the Cheese Burger and Chicken schnitzel. Gratuity is automatically included at 20% so be prepared for that. Service: the staff was very helpful. read more
