; 8171 Sunset Blvd; 6pm-2am)
Elegant, but not stuck up. Been around, yet still cherished. With high ceilings, molded
walls and terrific martinis, the famous, and the wish-they-weres, still flock here. If you
time it right, you might see Thom Yorke, or perhaps Lindsey Lohan? Come midweek.
Weekends are for amateurs.

Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable used to knock ̓em back at this dark railcar of a water-
ing hole so authentically noir that scenes from
LA Confidential
were filmed here. Skip the
Chinese food.
Malibu
Sunset
BAR
A perfectly strange oasis after a day at the beach. Mostly because the Happy Hour crowd
gets weird. Like rich, celebrity, plastic surgery, comb-over weird. We do love us some
Malibu.
