Next Door Lounge

Specialties

Next Door Lounge offers innovative cocktails, delectable bites and live entertainment with all of the glamour and forbidden excitement of a speakeasy.

Our cocktails take center stage, offering a contemporary twist on classics from the 20s. Los Angeles Confidential Magazine calls us «one of the best places to go in LA when you want a serious cocktail.» We offer Happier Hour specials weekdays until 8pm.

Home of the Hollywood Heist dinner show, join us Tuesdays for fun and entertainment led by Willie N’ Friends Variety Hour. When the Barrow Gang shows up and takes the joint hostage, it’s up to you and your fellow revelers to raise the ransom by participating in a series of challenges.

Upon entering Next Door Lounge, you’ll be overtaken by Old Hollywood charm, from our dapper doorman to jazz playing in the background, and silent black and white films projecting on the walls. Enjoy spirited conversations over libations in our several intimate vignettes.
