    Old Fashion and La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor
    Anton F.

    Didn't know this place existed. So glad I stopped in. As I made my way downstairs, I walk in to a full bar and a small cigar humidor in the center of the room. A small collection of good premium stogies but pricey by current market rates. The bartenders were awesome serving up excellent cocktails. Also food is available such as sandwiches, burgers and appetizers. I sat at a cozy table, with a comfy chair, enjoyed my cigar, in a relaxing amber hue atmosphere. Great place for me time.

    They desperately need better bar staff. It's such an awesome place to relax and smoke a cigar, but it would be nice to be able to enjoy a drink. I wind up just ordering bourbon neat cause the bartenders can't make drinks. I've spent a ton here and just can't bring myself to come back after the last consecutive experiences.

    Whiskey Mango made to perfection!

    This was a cute little spot, the perfect place to go if you're looking to have a good drink late night! I was in desperate need of a drink & thankfully this place was open. It's definitely the place to go if you had a long day at work, a long week of work, a long week of parenting lol, or you just simply need a drink! I haven't tried the food yet, but I can guarantee I'll be back!

    Just one night in West Hollywood and thus was it. Good food, great server (Kelsey) and great vibe. Kelsey had to serve the whole lounge alone. She was doing it right!!!

    This is my favorite place to enjoy a stogie in the West Hollywood/Hollywood area. Staff is great and friendly, lots of seating, full food menu from State Social from upstairs and decent liquor/beer selection. Have spent many nights here watching whatever is happening in sports here. Definitely recommend to visit if you like smoking cigars or shisha. Good humidor selection as well.

    LA Puro (pure cigar) love smoking cigars here with my friends. The Backroom is great all the way around. Cigars, cocktails, great staff and sports! Man cave city and women who enjoy a little smoke. Great local spot that reminds me of being in Chicago smoking sticks with friends and family.

Such an interesting spot to tuck it, above the Tail O' the Pup, and the building where the 'Doors' recorded their last studio album (LA Lady). Make your reservation online and don't be late because the clock starts at the time you chose and you will be informed when you get there late that that will be subtracted from your time at the end. They are obviously popular due to social media and it's not a huge place so they have to move people in and out, so just don't be late. The staff was uber-pleasant and personable, yet professional and expeditious. I didn't try any food, but the drinks were very tasty. They also have a small outside veranda if you prefer to sit out there. I was very pleased by my experience at the Lucky Tiki!

You have to let your eyes adjust because it's quite dim inside, but adorned with lots of colorful lighting. It's usually reservation only but I called ahead to see if they had availability for us to pop in and luckily they had room for us. Everyone here is so friendly and seems to love what they do. Our bartender was Shane and he was wonderful and really made our experience memorable. Zeke was the other bartender who was great as well. We ordered a Painkiller and a Captain's Inner Circle. Each drink comes in its own unique cup/glass and has such a fun presentation. The painkiller was presented to us with some fire elements and the captain's inner circle was hilarious - they ring a bell and all the workers join in on saying you're a part of the inner circle. Now the taste. Both of the drinks were delicious! We love a painkiller and this one definitely didn't disappoint, it totally hit the spot. I also loved the inner circle drink, it was coconutty and had fruity elements like apricot in it. There are so many drinks on their menu, we wish we could try them all! We'll have to come back next time to try more. They also have food but we didn't have time to try any dishes this time.

It's the kind of place where you can take your time exploring different pours rather than rushing through drinks. The selection is impressive, ranging from familiar labels to smaller distilleries you don't see everywhere. The bartender was clearly passionate about the craft and offered a couple of suggestions based on what I usually enjoy. I tried a whiskey I hadn't heard of before, and it turned out to be a great recommendation with a smooth, layered flavor. What I liked most was the atmosphere. It felt social without being overwhelming, making it easy to have a conversation or simply sit back and enjoy the drink. The crowd seemed like a mix of locals and people who genuinely appreciate good spirits. The Phoenix stands out as a spot where whiskey takes center stage, but the environment remains welcoming and unpretentious.

The host, Adam, was so welcoming and helpful throughout the evening, checking to make sure we were enjoying our food and drinks, even moving us to a different table since our original one was in a wind tunnel blowing up our dresses. I got two cocktails: 1) the special True Colors cocktail in celebration of Pride Month, with proceeds going to the LGBT Center! It had Tequila, Yuzu, Lychee, Passionfruit, topped with a Hibiscus Mezcal Float and a piece of Rainbow Sour Candy. It was refreshing, delicious, and absolutely gorgeous! 2) the Cosmopolitan: made with Grey Goose Vodka, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao, and cranberry. It was pretty tasty, not exactly like a traditional Cosmo and had a bit of a bite to it, but good enough that I got two. My friend and I shared the guacamole which was a pretty decently sized portion and came with a big basket of chips. We also got the Weho Choco Tacos and they were delectable! It's a bit pricey with drinks ranging from $22-$26, but that's to be expected in Weho and especially on Sunset Boulevard. Just something to keep in mind. The crowd was also so nice! We made friends with the couple sitting next to us and watched the end of the NBA finals together on one of their phones. I also met some nice girls in the bathroom and we had a long conversation about the best clothes to pack for a trip to Europe. Everyone was there to have a good time and it showed!

The karaoke booth was also a great idea but the music in the head phones was different than what was playing in the actual booth so made it confusing.
