"Self-described as "a little bit country, a little bit rock-and-roll," Desert 5 is a Pioneertown-inspired rooftop bar in Hollywood that is committed to the bit. There are glowing neon signs, cocktail glasses shaped like cacti and boots, and a stage where some band you've never heard of plays their heart and soul out while rocking cowboy hats. It gets crowded here on weeknights, so probably come then. Weekends are packed, packed, packed. " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
