Rooftop country-western bar with line dancing and live music
"A country‑Western, neon‑glitter bar concept from Los Angeles is slated to open in D.C. in early fall in a two‑story industrial space. Inspired by Pioneertown, throwback roadside motels and cosmic Americana, the concept launched in Hollywood in 2021 and expanded to Williamsburg with features like a custom mechanical bull, frozen margaritas and LA‑approved tacos. The bi‑coastal hospitality group behind the project positions it as a lively, nostalgic nightspot intended to bring line‑dancing and Western vibes back to the neighborhood." - Tierney Plumb
"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
"Inspired by Pioneertown, Desert 5 Spot adds to Hollywood’s Vinyl District where the laid-back lounge offers colorful drinks like the ring of fire with Bruxo mezcal, Ancho Reyes Verde liqueur, prickly pear, lemon, ginger, and honey." - Eater Staff
"This Vinyl District rooftop lounge brings the California desert to Hollywood. Inspired by Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, and Pioneertown, the Spot is a standout for live music, including a live house band, DJs on the weekends, and assorted tribute nights. Order a classic Grey Goose martini at the bar and relax in the living room vibes of the bar’s indoor space." - Vox Creative
"We love a themed bar. Why aren't more bars themed? Tell us what to wear! We'll have an amazing time. Self-described as "a little bit country, a little bit of 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's Hollywood theatrics, of course. Not an actual dive desert bar, but something shiny and fun. It gets crowded here on weeknights, so probably come then. Weekends are packed, packed, packed." - Kat Hong
