The Viper Room

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (424) • $$

"I'm living a rock star dream because Courtney G was performing in the Acoustic Lounge (downstairs). Main entrance is on Sunset and a side entrance for the Acoustic Lounge is on Larrabee. There's a parking lot next to the Viper Room to park for $20-30 depending on what time you arrive.There are two floors - the main act is upstairs, while the downstairs area is small and intimate for an acoustic (1-3 person) act. The downstairs area has a full bar. Surprisingly, the downstairs area is well insulated for acoustic acts.Restrooms are upstairs and unisex. There is also a full bar upstairs with seating. Merch can be purchased at the bar."

"This review is a bit overdue. I came here with my husband near the end of Sept on a Thursday afternoon to watch a football game. I wasn't sure what to expect given all the horrible reviews. We sat in the inner section by the stage where the big screen was. It wasn't too busy, and there was ample space. Our server was very sweet and polite and was prompt with our order and requests. There was music playing, but after a while of the game starting, they turned it off and allowed the patrons to listen to the game. Food was great, drinks were good. Really no complaints. My son got chicken strips, I ordered gobernador tacos, and I forgot what my husband ordered, but we all enjoyed our plates. I do advise that if you go during the warmer weather, wear mosquito repellent if you're one that is usually mosquito lunch/dinner. I got bit 5 times that night:-["

"This place is lit. If you see it for what it is, a gathering place for the young, who have eyes that make club lights sparkle in a special way than this place is for you. It is where to live and dream a phase. The party phase of your life. This place allows you to bump and grind with others, or with yourself, or with your friends, Basically it has vibes and beats that welcomes all. This place is full of life, if you care to live life in a club with a young atmosphere. The party begins before you hit the club. While I was waiting in line, I stood next to a pottery studio, or was it drawing? No I think it was a pottery studio. It was late at night and a few people were working on their art. I could see them focused on their vases and such. They did not look up. They probably were used to being looked upon that they ignored it. They were not dolphins in a an aquarium performing for bored line waiters. It would have been nice to look up from time to time, and smile. But yet, I respect that they were trying to find a moment of zen amidst their clay and hands. It is funny because we were all trying to escape to a good time, some made vases out of clay and others aimed to bump and grind to loud music. Another example that truly showcases that their are strokes for different folks.The club itself pops. I remember going there one Halloween night. And it being a true halloween party attendant by the modest of LA. The reason why I say that is because I have been there a few times, and I never really see the bar, busy like that. In fact last time I went, the bar was completely empty. I had some water in a cup. I did not pay for a bottle. Come on now! I asked the bartender "Do you think that people do not buy drinks because they were young or broke?" He reflected for a second and said both. So the crowd here like I said is young. I did witness a party. The dance floor was full--- at different times I went. If you go there on a Saturday night then the place will pop. If you go, like on Sunday, when the next they there is no work or school, then you will see less but more than other bars and dance floors. Oh as I waiting in line the hot dog vendor had a nice looking speaker and she blasted reggeton. The party hit on the street thanks to their meaningful addition to the night. If you expect boogie drinks, the gliterrari of Hollywood or the LA hit, don't. Go somewhere else. But if you are looking to party freely with those that belong to the graffitied streets then this place waits. And when I say belongs to the street, I mean they belong to fun, earthy and evolving site of LA, not the polished, glamorous or manicured sites of LA."
