Babe & Ricky’s Inn

If this club is the heart of the LA blues scene, Laura Mae Gross is its soul. Since 1964, she has nurtured new talent and hosted greats such as B.B. King. Monday’s jam nights (with free fried chicken) are legendary.
Bar at The Argyle

Order martinis at this Sunset Strip haven with a decor reminiscent of Hollywood’s Golden Era (see The Argyle).

Beauty Bar

Get your nails done while sipping a “Blue Rinse” cocktail at this unique retro bar styled like a 1950s beauty parlor.

Cameo Bar

Hollywood glamour goes seaside at this Neo-Colonial bar at the Viceroy.
Cat & Fiddle Pub
