As one of the oldest bars in Hollywood since the 1930s, the Frolic Room sits just a few blocks east of Highland Avenue and has said to be, according to many locals, the last "real" bar left on Hollywood Boulevard. To make this location even more authentic, the bar is decked out in Hollywood glamour to give patrons that classic feel.

Just from the name of this bar, you already know that it must be a classic! Located in Korea Town, Frank N Hank's can be described as a Monte Carlo Bar, so although it is located in an Asian community, it comes with a different type of flair. In addition to the oldies music that you will hear, they also have drink specials. You can go in and order a drink for $6. You can't beat that!

Burgundy Room

Los Angeles, CA 90028

Not to be confused with the Gold Room, the Burgundy Room is the perfect spot for oldie fans that are into rock and roll and punk music. Not only does the DJ spin rock tunes from back in the day, but the Burgundy Room also has that old school rock decor getting people in the element for the night. To add a little icing to the cake, the drinks are also just what a rocker would like - stiff and well served.
