The LA night life can be somewhat overwhelming what with all the new club openings and reopenings of the same clubs with new names. Bar Lubitsch is a great place to sort of stray away from that a little. Though there is usually a line out the door (so get there early) the crowd is much more laid back and the music is definitely more bearable. It's definitely less of a scene and more of a good place to grab some drinks with friends.

Chill atmosphere in the front bar area and a mix of tunes in the small, but fun, dance area in the back. Lubitsch is a local bar in Hollywood which attracts a crowd that is trendy but not pretentious. The staff there are great. Everyone from the owners to the managers right down to the bar staff all have friendly personalities, and I've met them all. There is no cover but you'll want to show up a bit early on peak nights as the wait to get in can be long. If you enjoy the "dear little water" then be sure to give the vodka menu a look when you're there.
