by G R. on Soma is the hot spot for clubbing and Eve is a cool place to start your night. The cover is $5 not too steep; the crowed is a cool mix of folks all having a good time, the music is a wild mix depending on the night and loud, the staff behind the bar are attentive and pour good drinks, it get crowded but fun.
by Jacqueline Kawelo on Don't say I didn't warn you, this place sucks and that's all there is to it. Think about everything you hate about Hollywood, this is where all of those things reside. I do have to say that it's great to have a place where all of douchebags congregate, that way they aren't where I am hanging out at! Cover charge + $12 drinks + Ed Hardy Shirts + Dr. 90210 = Green Door
by Halley Lawhorn on I wound up here with a few friends on one of those nights we set out with the goal of getting as blindingly, stupidly drunk as possible (it, um, worked). This bar probably does deserve five stars, but a friend of my fiance's is a part-owner and the potential for a conflict-of-interest thing makes me paranoid. This bar was our second or third stop of the evening, so I was properly smashed by the time we got to National Mechanics. What I do remember left a lovely impression on my brainmeats. This bar has so much of what I want in a drinking establishment: It was dark, the drinks were gooooood, we danced a lot and, for happening upon NM on a prime barhopping night, the place wasn't even close to being uncomfortably, obnoxiously packed. And the bar's exterior? So pretty! I'm a little bummed I haven't had a chance to head back here since then. National Mechanics seems like it deserves to be a lot of people's favourite bar-going destination.
