The Next Door Lounge is famous in L.A. for its supreme sense of style. From the stylized 1920s ambiance to the password-protected entry, everything about this club recollects the glamour and mystique of a mob-run prohibition-era speakeasy. Just a couple blocks from Sunset, the entrance is marked by a giant yellow key above the door along with a neon "LOUNGE" below that. When you submit your name and email address on the websites 'Secret Password' section (under "About") you get a free appetizer from the "Big Boss." While Hollywood parking can be the worst in the city, causing the valets to get pricey, Next Door Lounge keeps it affordable at only $6 for the service.

The creativity factor is off the charts at the swanky Library Bar, located in the famed Roosevelt Hotel in the heart of Hollywood.

Such privilege comes at a price, of course, and its not cheap, but it is definitely well worth it. Valet is super fast, and is a bargain in Hollywood at $9 for three hours with validation.

The Pikey
7617 W Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90046
(323) 850-5400

The former Coach and Horses on the Sunset Strip was expanded, revamped and renamed with new ownership in early April this year, and is better for the change. Now the location boasts an overflow back bar, a fantastically eclectic crowd, and an improved English menu. The staff is well versed on the food and drink and they greatly contribute to the fun, chilled-out vibe. Valet is only $5, which is an even better value than self-parking on the strip.
