Downtown LA’s Extravagant Sinners y Santos Nightclub Features Live Wrestling Matches | Eater LA

"Steeped in Gothic-cathedral theatrics, I found Sinners y Santos to be an impressive nightclub and lounge on Level 8, decked out with stained glass, ornate woodwork, marble counters, velvet lounge seating, a church-organ DJ booth, table service, and live lucha libre wrestling matches staged on a platform suspended above the bar. It opened last weekend with a surprise DJ guest, the Chainsmokers, and continues the Houston Brothers’ streak of striking ambiences with a trompe l’oeil entrance they hope to keep secret. Veteran barman Devon Espinosa creates theatrical cocktails like La Tropica Toxica and the St. Marguerite, both featuring flaming elements; the bars here tend to offer better-than-expected cocktail menus without being tethered to high-end mixology. There’s no standard cover—guests can RSVP via an email line to secure entry or join the queue at the door. Sinners y Santos is only open Thursday to Saturday, 10 p.m. to 2 a.m." - Matthew Kang
