We're so happy we stumbled upon this bar after catching a show at the Blue Note! It was a quiet Thursday night, with only two other parties there when we arrived. At one point, it was just the two of us and the bartender, which made for a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. I unfortunately didn't catch her name, but she was incredibly welcoming, kind, and made us feel right at home. Sometimes the unexpected spots end up being the best finds! We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

You can choose your own record to request to play. The speciality drinks are cool but aren't the most tasteful tbh. Nice music selections but very loud as well. Getting help will depend on the night you're there with how fast the bartenders are able to take your order. read more

If you're looking for a hidden bar tucked away from the Hollywood chaos, give this intimate vinyl bar a shot. Located inside 800 degrees kitchen on the 2nd floor. They have a selection of vinyls that you may request to play. Me scanning through all of the vinyls to see what tune I wanted to hear...Unfortunately, not many updated music selections. However, I find it a perk that they give you a chance to pick and play whatever you're in the mood for. The bartenders were very mellow which I supposed it was matched to the ambience of the bar. Ordered the espresso martini and vibed out. I do believe they should carry more music selections with some updates to more legendary artists considering it is a vinyl bar. read more

Love the spot, it was small and intimate. Looks like a speakeasy but no password needed. Went to kill some time while my son was at a concert at the palladium. Had me the grasshopper and it didn't disappoint. read more

Tucked away on the top floor of a pizza joint is this hidden gem! We were looking for a relaxing lounge with good music and top whiskey, we found it here. The vibe is perfect, the bartender is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the drink menu. There is no wine here but the cocktails are excellent, full of flavor, and so is the whiskey. The prices of the drinks are on the higher end but well worth it. The music takes you to all different eras and we had a really great time and highly recommend a stop here! Cheers! read more

Super cool and lowkey spot. The bar is very dimly lit, giving it a speakeasy feel. They had a wide array of cocktails, all music themed and the bartender was super nice. The best part was that they had an assortment of records you could play. read more

Just a chill casual speakeasy. Great if your by yourself or trying to have an intimate connection. The bartenders are super friendly and helpful. read more

The drinks were pricey, but were sooo good. I enjoyed every drop. Cute cozy place for a drink. I like the layout. Cute chairs too! read more

very cool spot. Great owner, great selection of drinks. nice decore and best of all very relaxed and pleasant crowd.

The ambiance is incredible. I suggest dressing up because it will definitely add to your experience. The drinks are a little on the expensive side but reasonable considering they are delicious and the bartender is knowledgeable. I've been twice and the first time it was nice and quiet but they closed an hour early, and the second time when it was actually busy, they were turning people away because there was gonna be a private party. That's why I knocked off one start because both times our experience got cut short. read more

I use to go to The Frolic Room but the staff there especially the doorman Isaac is horible so I went around the corner and found this place and wow I was really missing out! Bar tender is awesome. DJ's are soooo friendly. very cool place. great selection of interesting beers, ciders, and mixed drinks. great place! read more

The atmosphere here is really cool and pretty low-key, which is what I was hoping for. I liked the vintage vibe and the fact that they actually play records while you're having a drink. It's a nice spot to sit for a while and just listen to the music. The cocktails were well made and the place has a relaxed feel overall. read more

The drinks here were super delicious! The menu was really extensive and creative so there's definitely something here for everyone. It's hard to find though. Located at the back and upstairs of a pizza shop. It took me a while to get to. However, when you enter, the decor is really nice and 1930s. Bartenders are friendly and the crowd was young. Would definitely recommend! read more

Cool little spot with great drinks! Definitely recommend the Velvet Negroni. They have some really cool vinyls you can listen to. read more

Found this cute bar which is located hidden in a pizza spot. My midori sour was on point. Absolutely loved that they had a nice selection of vinyls to play. That was an added plus! read more

This place is hidden above the pizzeria and has a cool concept, dim lights, nice atmosphere and you can pick vinyls to play. That said, price of the drinks is high and they're not so outstanding or unique to justify that pricing. I was there Friday night and it was very quiet, almost no one there and no one down at the pizza place either. Overall, cool experience for this once but I doubt I'll return read more

Loved the ambience and the service was amazing. Everyone was great. It was also nice to be able to have access in and out during the show that we watched. It was not crowded at all, and there was plenty of seating throughout the night. As always, the prices for drinks were fairly high, but my boyfriend and I enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. I didn't eat any of the food, but it looked delicious. I would definitely go back again. read more

So the spot is hard to find but it kinda adds to the vibe of the spot, and the drink menu is pretty amazing, and I'm not gonna lie I had this bartender named james who made the best Hennesy espresso/ horchata w/ cinnamon Martini! The drinks were well thought out and I'll be back a lot! Only thing missing is a better vinyl selection but that can easily be fixed, a must go to spot for me now! Tell them Sinatra sent you read more

Has potential.... Mostly touristy, Very Pricey at $100 for 4 drinks?.. With all the bars close by, these guys gotta get it together lol Most likely will never go back read more

finally tried it the food was seasoned so good, and the people were kind, I wish it was half indoors and half outdoors but the painting are cool read more

I really dig this spot, but DAMN was it hard to find lol. I walked around the entire block of Sunset and Vine, through the parking lot, just to find out that it's inside of the 800 Degrees Woodfired Kitchen. Talk about speakeasy! Staff was super friendly and helpful, and the ambiance was on point! The cocktail menu is quite extensive, I wanted to branch out, but this was just a quick stop before our concert at The Palladium. Now that I know how to find this place, I'll definitely be back when I have more time to enjoy one...or two of their unique cocktails! Check this place out for sure! read more

A great little speakeasy on the second floor above the 800º restaurant, you go through the restaurant to get upstairs. There's limited space but the ambiance is fun/cozy and quite friendly. Eclectic furniture but can get cozy with with a decent size group. I went with 3 friends and it wasn't too hard to find a place to sit, but we did get one of the last 2 available tables, definitely limited seating space in the speakeasy. The drinks were delicious, I had the Keiamina (gin) and a friend had Manager's Meeting (mezcal), and they were both wonderful cocktails with well blended flavors, great balance of sweet and smokey flavors, respectively. I would highly recommend. May have a little wait if you go during peak hours, but going around 10pm wasn't too much wait. Parking was on the street, you may find some parking structures as well around, but I don't think there's dedicated free parking. read more

Such a cool spot above 1800 pizza upstairs. Pick some music and come chill! Thanks Justin and Kyle for the help.

This place was cool they had a variety of vinyls that you can put on que to be played on their record player. They have a good variety of house cocktails that were really good! read more

Sunset & Vinyl - Entrance - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wanted to love this place but their prices are ridiculous. They're not really welcoming customers to stay when 2 drinks each for a couple is already $100. The place has potential & I wouldn't mind spending if it was worth it, but it smells odd in there like I'm sure it's hardly been cleaned & looks so run down. I'm sure they're a struggling business & hate to leave a bad review but I feel like it's necessary for management to be realistic if they want customers to keep coming back, I've gone to so many upscale lounges/restaurants and gotten wayyyy more drinks, and amazing service even food for less than that $100. And I'll go back every time! I wouldn't recommend this place I'm sorry but shout out to the bartender cause he did make delicious drinks. read more

I love this bar and have been a few times. The ambiance is perfect and they always allow me to choose my favorite vinyls to play. The bartender is always very attentive, nice, and goes out of his way to provide great service. The drinks he makes are amazing as well. The Midori Sour and Espresso Martini were my favorites, very well balanced and a good strength. There is also a delicious pizza place on the first floor which is very convenient after a night of drinking. I'm only giving 4 stars because they changed the glasses they use for drinks since the first few times I came. The glasses used to be a typical medium to large size cocktail glass used in most (even other high-end) bars. However, this recent time each drink came in the same small glass. Although they were great tasting, this was a change I wasn't anticipating especially because most cocktails were $20+. Regardless I would love to come back. read more

We had a really great bartender who offered me to smell the drink he was making to see if I would be interested. I am always asking bartenders what their sweetest drink is and I was told on this occasion to get the Yellow Submarine. I was pleasantly surprised by the sour notes present. I also ordered the Rhythm and Blues, and it wasn't as sweet. It had a nice note of lychee that was fruity and sweet still, but the blue curaçao was coming through rather bitter. I still enjoyed it, but I would prefer a heavier sweet note. The vibes here are chill which aligned with our goals for the evening: to be chill. I think it was my first or second ever speakeasy that I've been to. I never thought about Hollywood being a place to socialize in the evening. I am so used to the chaos during the daytime that I am shocked at the literal day/night difference. Lots of cute seating areas. I didn't get a chance to rifle through their vinyl collection. Maybe someday. read more

Friendly staff, shoutout to you Josh! Great bartender and makes well crafted cocktails! I never had my Midori sour this way before! Great vibes, music, and company. Pick a vinyl and put it in the queue to play on the vinyl station. This placed is upstairs of the pizza joint. Call it "speakeasy" if you may. We honestly thought we got the address wrong lol. This place is super cozy and dimly lit. Wide selection of drinks to choose from. Go check it out! read more

I'm usually of the school of thought that if I really don't like something, I keep it to myself rather than provide a one-star rating (check my profile if you don't believe me), but unfortunately, I think I have to share my experience here. I was excited to try this place because it was a speakeasy in my neighborhood with good reviews. You enter through a pizza spot, and it's located upstairs. The vibes inside are a bit dingy, but it's not necessarily a bad thing; it looks like an old-school Hollywood vibe. Upon opening the menu, the first thing I notice is the egregious prices of the drinks; they range on average from $20-$25. I'm sorry, but that's too much money for a drink. I wouldn't have been so salty if it came out good, but here's where the story goes extra sour. My girlfriend and I ordered the $23 Smoke and Spice mezcal drink. The bartender looked like this was his first week on the job. I know it's a hard job, but a $23 per cocktail spot should have experienced bartenders. He looked like the owner's son that they gave a job. Nice guy though. The drink was the worst I've ever had, and I'm not exaggerating. It tasted like what I imagine sweet gasoline would be like. My girlfriend concurred. I brought it back to the bar, and the other, more experienced bartender tried the drink and agreed with me that something was seriously wrong. The bartender who made my drink said he forgot the lemon and that's why it was off. I assured him that lemon could not fix that death potion. He added lemon, and I tried again. Still horrible, and arguably worse. We replaced the drinks with mezcal on the rocks, which was okay, but I think I would have been better off sending my money to a Nigerian prince who was fundraising via email to take back his rightful throne. Unfortunately, I'd avoid this place. read more

Meme her customer service was excellent she's the best the boss was great the food was fire

I've been going to S&V for awhile because I like the hidden location, record selection and drinks. The prices have always been annoying, but the drinks are, (were) good and the bartenders were great to banter with. It had been about a year so I was eager to take a new friend to check it out. He ordered a vampire something with Absinthe, I ordered a Whiskey sour. The bartender asked me what I would like bourbon or rye. I went with rye. When the drinks came she asked if I wanted to start a tab, I said no I would pay for these and close out. My friend liked his drink. I tasted mine and realized immediately it was not as good as before. She didn't use egg whites and the drink was bland. Then the bill..... $75!! I was speechless. "Excuse me, there must be a mistake? My drink is $45? "Oh yah.... I should've told you... I was surprised myself. I'm new so I didn't know, sorry..... " I really should've thrown a fit right then and there and demanded my money back. Even in Hollywood, the ripoff capital, this is criminal to charge $75 for 2 drinks. It's conniving and calculated to fey ignorance because you're new on the job. I can say one thing you're not new at is manipulation. I will NEVER go back to this bar until the owner personally calls me and offers compensation. And the drink was boring. The most boring $45 in my life. Afterwards we walked up to the "dive" bar called The Frolic room- 2 drinks- $20 and they were excellent. read more

Relaxed jazzy bar to kick back with good drinks and good music. I love the vibes of a smaller speakeasy style bar, and the variety of vinyl to choose from and add to the play queue makes it all the more fun and welcoming. Drinks are solid and bartenders friendly. I love looking through their collection and hearing choices you don't always get on a typical night out for drinks. Really great spot! read more

It's a speak easy... nuff said..... Well, okay Let me tell you a little bit about this place. SMALL, Cute, HIDDEN, Cozy, GREAT DRNIKS, Great Bartender, GREAT OLD VIYNLS, Hollywood Prices..... for a speak easy in the middle of Hollywood. Parking as always is a challenge but you may be fortunate to find street parking. If not, there are Pay Parking Lots up and down the Boulevard and most of them have similar rates. I'm not a whiskey drinker but I will admit the Smoky Old Fashioned might be something I'd challenge. Don't go to a speakeasy and ask for a wine list unless you want puzzled looks by your question. If you go early enough, you can have a pizza from 800 Degree Pizza before going upstairs to enjoy what Sunset & Vinyl has to offer. THIS IS A HINT Don't miss this place if you are in Hollywood read more
