This review will be unique as it will review No Vacancy when it hosted Uno Social Club…read more I am not a super fan of Uno, but it is something to do, something to get me out of the house, and when I have played Uno I have had a good time. One time I got so excited I banged the table and the glass dropped. It happens when one is seeking a reverse card to save their life! The place is suppose to be a play on a hotel I guess, but to me it also kind of looked like a haunted house. A bit. Do not imagine cobwebs, ghosts, and Jason props. It was more haunted in color and shape. Like a haunted house that was formerly excorcised of the devil and all his minions and no was in its fixer-upper phase. I guess one might have to look at the pictures to understand where my thoughts went. When I entered the energy was building. But it was such a slow simmer that I felt like Uno would not pop with revelvery. I went exploring after first entering garden, into their main foyare. I saw an upstairs. I was not allowed to go up. Apparently, there was a VIP section. Oh what is up there, I asked one of the staff members and he did not respond. I asked a patron that was walking down the stiars? What is up there? She seemed like she did not want to answer. I said an elephant? She said, heat, it's hot up there. So now I am left to wonder what was up those stairs at No Vancy and kind of irked that I am left to wonder what the flight of stairs held at its end. I was backed in the garden, thinking of what would happen next? I saw a brave soul ask if he could join two to play a game. I did the same and soon I was in a card game with two other people. What was great, is that they had the house rules posted, which were apparently the official Mattel rules. And like for example, I always played Uno in the following way: if you did not have a certain color you ate from the pile till you got a color or another card you can play like the Wild card? But here you only ate one, and if it could be played you could, and if you could not then it was the next player turn. I realized that I kind of wrote an instuction manual. I kind of wanted to delete it, but then I remember when a plate is salted it cannot be unsalted. I played a player who was into the game. I know that people are like why are you so into the game? But when two people are into an ordinary Uno game it stops being ordinary. It does not become a clash of fabled warriors inside an arena with lions and leopards. But it does become competititve in a fun way, where no one tells another to chill just because they want verification of a play that might turn the game on its head. What I thought the Uno Social people did very well was engage us all. They sat down a guy next to us. He became the fourth of our Uno game. Inspired by the staff member I asked someone else to sit and we became 5. We played a few games and had a good time. One of the staff members gave a winner of a round a Love Island expansion pack. Who knew? Saul and I then peeled of that group and went to get some drinks. The drinks at this place were smooth and strong. I got an Uno themed one. I could finish it in one gulp if I wanted too, but I did not, I was not in a race. By this time the place was, in my opinion, too packed by Uno players. It was the kind of packed that if you wanted to stand up you were afraid too because then you would lose your spot and then you would be amidst the crowd trying to find another spot that anchors you to place. The crowded bar made one feel like they were a sardine in a party. And no one likes to be a sardine anywhere. Having no elbow room is a type of torture, not water for sure, but still anxiety inducing. Another Yelper described this place as a human zoo, perhaps I should have left it there too? This place is close, like steps from Hollywood Blvd. So I can see how it can be part of a bigger night. Stop by and if one does not feel the vibe one can bounce to another spot. There are plenty around the areas. But if one gets to here when they host an Uno club that is definetelty the move!

this was my absolute favorite place I went during my trip to LA. We started with the speakeasy…read moreentrance, which was led by a beautiful burlesque dancer. We headed down to the regular bar which is in a house. To be honest, this house was so remincent of my colleges frat houses, it brought the most incredible nostalgia. Once we got our drinks we headed outside to the backyard, and there is an additional bar and fireplace out there. It was after 1am on a Friday and it was like a club. I danced my heart out in my own zone until we were all told the club was closed. I never wanted to leave. It was the most fun I've had in a long time! - signed a midwest mom loooking for a good time

My husband and I love bringing our lesbian friends here; everyone we've met has been welcoming and fun. It's a magical, inclusive vibe that deserves strong community support. The venue is stunning, with huge windows overlooking the Pacific Design Center and an incredible energy throughout. SweetWater already feels iconic, and WeHo is lucky to have it. Come early, grab a drink, bring friends, and enjoy this beautiful space--we're so excited to have SweetWater in the neighborhood!

I went during Pride weekend because I was really excited to check out the newest lesbian bar, and…read moreit was definitely packed! The space was a little smaller than I expected, but it was honestly really nice to see so many people come out and support it. The bar service was a little slower when I went, and there seemed to be some confusion with making an AMF, but I'm also keeping in mind that it was Pride weekend and they were extremely busy. The top-shelf liquor selection at the bar on the left also seemed a little limited. I was hoping for something like Ciroc, but it's possible the other bar had more options. There wasn't a ton of seating either, although again, with how crowded it was for Pride, that may have made the space feel even smaller than it normally does. Overall, I'm still really glad this place exists and I would absolutely come back. There are so few lesbian bars around, and I definitely want to support spaces like this and see them stick around. I'd love to come back on a regular weekend when it's less hectic and get a better feel for the place.

I am so glad I found this gem! The interior atmosphere is really maximalist and fun. I love all the pink and the disco balls. RuPaul's Drag Race: Down Under was playing before the show. So we were quite entertained while we waited. The food was messy, but good. I really appreciate the vegan options as someone with allergies. Their drink selection is fun and has a lot of options. I got a pop rocks margarita, and then I ended up getting the dirty peach in a heel! (Which is now proudly displayed in my home) The dolls were AMAZING and so talented! Misty Violet was our hostess. I loved their stage presence and sense of humor. Bobby Dismorphia was so sweet and an amazing dancer. The other dolls were also such great performers and dancers. It was one of the best birthdays ever! Thank you!

There are big screen TVs along the wall for your viewing pleasure - the NFL Playoffs were on. Rams vs Bears. The music was bumping and the line to the bar was 3 deep, so I was unable to see a drink menu. I asked my brothers to bring me back a vodka soda. It got the party mode going. Bathrooms are gender neutral and there is a security guard to direct you to the next available restroom and prevent more than one person going in at a time. They also serve food but we had already eaten. Good vibes, good music, & stiff drinks are why this is one of my brothers' go to spots on a night out.

Came on a Friday night after work with co-workers at 6:45PM with about a dozen folks already here…read more By the time we left at 10:15PM the place was packed and there was a line of about two dozen downstairs to get in. This Hollywood rooftop bar reminds me of new-money, North Dallas, contemporary honkey tonk with a shiny new facelift and ozempic - think modern cowboy-chic. There's great views of the Hollywood sign, Downtown LA and a slight view of the Pacific Ocean. The drinks are priced like you're in Hollywood, so don't be budget conscious. They have a taco cart in the corner - order your food with the bartender and they will give you a ticket for the taco cart. On Fridays, they provide 50-minute line dance instruction every hour with 10 minutes of general line dancing every hour between 7PM - 10PM. The first hour is pretty simple, but the routines become more complex at the evening progresses. Also, this place gets packed - at 7PM there were about 9 of us learning the routines. At 9PM, good luck trying not to run into anyone - the dancefloor was packed. Thankfully there's patio seating and walkways around the packed dance floor, which helped traverse the space by going around. The bartenders smiled at the pretty girls and typically bro-stoic with everyone else. Quick, efficient, but not conversational or "friendly". The bar got pretty impacted once the night got hopping. I had a lot of fun and look forward to coming back.

Hey - if anyone is missing their stuff after the pool party today on Sunday 9/27 - I saw two guys…read morewhen I was in the pool take my sunglasses and take other people's stuff. I went right to the coat check guy and right to security. The two guys were maybe 20's thin blonde alternative - and they literally grabbed my sunglasses that were right next to me thinking they were someone else's. I THEN confronted them, and they handed me someone else's sunglasses thinking they were mine. Like, how many sunglasses do you have?? So if you're missing stuff - these two guys did it. Dont know their names but security and the venue might, cause they interviewed them at the coat check thing. Oh another racist note - the two guys said to my fiance (who is Black) "who are they going to believe, me or you". And the bar let them stay cause they didnt see it. Security said they would keep an eye on it. Like be so for real. Check the cameras.

To top it off our server Austin was so nice and helpful. He was super patient with our large group trying to get our order together. The margaritas are giant. I loved the CUCUMBER MARGARITA. It was not overly sweet which I appreciated. My friend was not a fan of his cucumber margarita. So I guess the flavor wasn't for everyone. It worked for me though! The NACHOS were gigantic portion and very tasty! This is a classic to go to in Weho. It never dissapoints! So much fun!!!

The nachos are towering over with toppings, your choice of meat and guac. Great for sharing! Taquitos are also a solid option with a crunch. Great spot to stop and have a bite if you're hanging out in the area.
