Well-connected scenesters gather for bistro classics and cocktails at this cool '40s throwback.
June 08, 2008

In Short
The space formerly known as Tempest has been transformed into a meticulously detailed '40s-era gentleman's club, neighborhood bar (if your 'hood happens to be WeHo) and eatery where patrons sink into long leather-upholstered benches and rest classic cocktails on an octagon-shaped, marble-topped bar. The team behind The Dime and Winston's have decked the walls with ornate mirrors and low-lit sconces--what better way to make everyone look good?--while the menu is dotted with traditional American bistro fare. Highlights include crispy flat breads with prosciutto, crab-and-sweet corn fritters, "sloppy pig" sliders, short-rib shepard's pie and baked clams casino. Once dinner is done, the vibe turns a tad more clubby, with DJs spinning from 10pm to 2am.

Make it a local bar
February 02, 2011
(3.0 / 5 stars)

Used to be one of my fav places, however, I do hate when small bars act like a super exclusive club then near the end of their life they start trying to act like a chill local bar for locals only.

Even though I was one of the promoters that worked Thursdays and Sundays, I feel that this venue failed because it used promoters. They should have used in-house promotion and focused on local residents and businesses.

As a local and a promoter, it was always a headache to get in early and chill with my buddies on a night that we want to keep it low key.

From what I understand most locals seems to avoid this place all together. Loose the promoters and let the locals in.

One thing though, I love the interior.

New clubs opens in Hollywood all the time. To find the best option for you, check out my website. eVita Parties provides Hollywood Guest List to Hollywood Clubs & Los Angeles Events.

Where to Sit:

The neat, gray-and-black patio is an ideal spot for sipping the Crown Bar's specialty champagne cocktails (sparkling wine, honey vodka and ginger cognac) and sharing an appetizer or two.

Know Before You Go:

Dinner is not served Wednesday or Sunday, and reservations are strongly recommended every night.

What to Drink:

Specialty cocktails includes classics with slightly contemporary twists: Hendrick's gin martinis come with a dash of rosemary, for example, and Crown Royal whiskey Manhattans come shaken with sweet vermouth and cherry juice.
