Where is the Best Romantic Bar in Los Angeles, California?
This place is a fun night out, but definitely for an older crowd overall. My boyfriend and I were there for Valentine’s day to see some live jazz which was amazing, but the people next to us were celebrating their 56th wedding anniversary when we just graduated from college last year, and that was pretty much the average age there, minus two other younger couples, but as long as you are with a good conversation partner it is worth going. The food is VERY WELL done but a bit pricey with the cheapest entree at $28 but there is no cover for the live jazz so it evens out. The service was very good, but at times with the music it was hard to talk with my boyfriend across our table since our table was abnormally long. Go prepared to spend some money and make sure you call in advance to check what time the jazz shows are starting. Also try and ask for a booth table if possible which will give you and your date a better date experience. Great romantic spot either way up in the hills of bel air
I live in San Francisco, and have always been a proponent of lunge type bars. San Francisco is home to some of the best lounges in the world, all with their own unique style and sophistication. I found the Side Door to be one of my favorite lounges I have ever been to, which is not an easy thing for me to say. The four times I’ve been there I enjoyed the music selection. Trance, Downtempo, Trip-Hop and Electronica give this gem of a place a certain ambiance that can’t be found just anywhere. The service is great, and the female bartender who seems to be the regular there is very pleasant and knowledgeable of the in-house special Martinis. The Martinis are not cheap, but you will have fun trying them all out. I myself only have a few more to go before I can say I’ve tried the whole menu. A little steep in price, but the drinks are worthy of the price. If your looking for a cool fun place to hang out in Manhattan Beach, this is the place to go. The crowd is sophisticated and th
My experience so far at the Bungalow Club is that I went here with a group of friends at around 9PM on a weeknight. There were 5 of us. We didn’t need a reservation, nor did we have to wait for a table. We were seated immediately on two comfy couches out on the open air back patio. The cabanas were all full, but that worked out better anyway so we could all face each other and talk. The volume of the music was great. Loud enough so you’re not hearing everyone else’s conversations, but not so loud that it drowns out the people at your own table. It’s semi-enclosed with some stained glass which seemed to do a great job of keeping the heat from the heat lamps in, even on a chilly night, without trapping the smoke from the smokers. We were a bunch of girls who were there to catch up on gossip, so for what we were looking for, that was perfect. People may complain about the service not being as fast as it could be, but honestly, we weren’t there to be rushed in and out anyway. We’d all had
So, I ended up at Dakota by accident. No really. It was only after I agreed to dinner at “The Roosevelt” did it dawn on me. But let me tell you, had I been offered the chance to think about it, I probably would have declined, and that would have been a mistake. Very rich atmostphere, deep chocolate tones, low light, very romantic. Unfortunately, I do not feel like our server matched the quality of the establishment. She was a little snobby, and it sort of set the tone for the rest of the meal. I’ve never worked as a server, so I don’t know what goes on behind the scenes (I have an idea) but, after initially discussing the “a la carte” style of the sides, and suggesting that we share (there were three of us), she didn’t even let us finish ordering before she mentioned the sides again. I found that to be a little pushy, and condecending – we heard the first time thankyouverymuch. And it’s not like I’ve never been to a steak house before, and nice ones at that: Ruth’s Chris – c
