"Opening in the former West End space, this dimly lit, clubby lounge pairs a tropical-inspired design with nightly live music—from jazz on Sundays to late-night live acts and DJs—delivered with Hollywood-like energy by Pacific Coast Hospitality founders Nas Negahban and Wen Yeh. Longtime LA bartender Devin Espinosa created a colorful cocktail program that leans into rum and tropical flavors, highlighted by the Gran Canaria (rum, lemon, passionfruit, yellow Chartreuse, and mint) and the Cafe Fria (Giffard banana liqueur, rum agricole, cold brew coffee, pineapple, and stout syrup). The venue does not serve food on-site but will host rotating food trucks outside, and it will operate Wednesday–Friday 5 p.m.–2 a.m. and Saturday–Sunday 8 p.m.–2 a.m. (with Sunday hours starting December 8)." - Matthew Kang
