by Kelvin Mcgoon on New this year, 1642 is the type of bar LA is sorely missing. A little dark, scrubbed clean of dingy-ness in a building with some history for a freaking change. It's a subtle bar. No velvet rope, no mixology, no nightclub pretensions. Just beer, wine, music. Long wooden tables, room to park your bike at the rear or against the wall and right along the Glendale Blvd bus route.
by Brett Bumbalo on I would defo would revisit Martuni's it was awesome, a great ambience and a great paino room. The cocktails blueberry sour was a-mazing, the music was a-mazing. It so much fun, dark and quirky, bar tender was overworked a little.............it was so fun fun...upmarket swish fun - thanks steph and Liam great choice
by Laura F. on I love Jay Z, and when I drink champers I think about how someday I'll be his gurl. Champers makes me think about Jay Z, Jay Z makes me happy, therefore, champagne should make me happy, right? Following this logic, a place dedicated to champagne (and therefore, dedicated to Jay Z, my happiness, etc), should make me ecstatic. Unfortunately this is NOT so. I have been here 4 or 5 times. The list is amazing, so many options. The decor is cozy and warm, and the pictures on the wall (happy face grapes and happy face cork) are cutesy. The staff? JESUS! The hostess last night had the BIGGEST attitude. Seeing as it was a tuesday at 7, and there were a total of NINE people here, you'd think she'd be glad to see to ladies coming in... instead she gave us the stink eye and made us feel TOTALLY AWKWARD. Our server tried to rush us. Every time the hostess walked by (literally with her nose in the air), she'd give us that crazy eyeball. This place is lame. The staff is pretentious. Jay Z would NOT approve, Bubble Lounge.. pull it together!
