    Pretty empty for a Saturday night and the DJ only played Latin music, which would've been fine, but the evening wasn't advertised as a Latin night. One of the bathrooms was either locked or out of order, so there was only a single stall for the entire establishment.

    Came here to end the evening for my brother's bachelor party and had a blast. It was pretty packed and people were down for a good time. Overall good vibes from everyone there. If you're single, I would definitely check this place out. Also super unique decor / atmosphere. Security guard in front who checked me prior to entering (some Hawaiian looking dude) was super chill when I told him I had a little fireball shot in my pocket from our festivities earlier - he appreciated the honesty and said I could pick it up after the event if I wanted to. Thought that was a pretty good start because usually security guards act like they hate their lives, jobs and especially you if you're male. The security guard monitoring inside/ clearing paths for the bottle service girls was power tripping a little, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he has to deal with drunk idiots all night. My one issue was that, while the music was decent, they definitely could have played more EDM. As a person who used to be a huge festival guy, I was sad that I didn't hear any at all (it's all hip hop). But it wasn't terrible, just my only complaint. Overall, will come back to this place when we're looking for a fun night out.

    The corner table at the end of the bar is the best spot!

    Last week I celebrated my 30th birthday at this venue, I reached out to their Instagram page and got a hold of Sam, which helped me through out the booking process. I was able to get a good deal on the table. I have around 30 guests. We got there around 10:45 PM, there was no line and even tho they were short on staff they were still able to take care of us. My group got in pretty fast and the club was popping already. Saturday night they played hip-hop songs like hypy type of vibe, bangers after bangers my friends and I can't stop dancing. It was not crowded but just enough for it to be lit and comfy at the same time. We ended up getting 4 bottles! My friends told me that the drinks at the bar is reasonably priced-$15 drinks which is a steal! It's like having a house party with strangers! The crowd is classy and more matured but still knows how to throwdown without being annoying! If you're looking for a venue where you want to celebrate this is the place! You can dance and have fun but if you wanna take a break have conversations you can go to the outdoor area. Btw there's also food! After 12 my friends started to have the drunchies so we got some fries and pizza!!! Thank you so much Apt 503!

    This place is a great place to lounge and hang out with friends while having some drinks. There's such a positive vibes and a really cool atmosphere. We celebrated a friend's birthday with about 30 people and this place was more than accommodating. They have really cool artistic paintings and scenery on the walls throughout the place. Great for selfies. The bartender was super cool and at the end of the night, she was making her own concoctions . I will have to come back here with more friends.

    Free pizza pls

    Ask the Community - Apt 503

    How do u get inside the venue?

    There is an elevator that takes you up to the venue. There is typically security downstairs to take you or help guide you as well.

    Is this 21 and over only?

    I think it is. They check ID before you are allowed inside.

    Where do I sign up for guestlist? The number posted on the website was just ringing the whole time and no one was answering?

    You have to send an email with the names of everyone in ur group to info@apt503.com

    I've emailed and msg'd them on yelp regarding a larger party and no one has answered. Anyone know if they would be accommodating if 15 people showed up at 730 on a Friday night?

    Well, that depends if you're looking to get a table or if it's just a large party that you can all get yourselves on a Guest list? If you're not looking to get bottle service, I'd suggest just emailing to get on a guest list... this Friday and… Read more

    How much is it to reserve a table with/without bottle service? And how many people per table?

    What is the dress code here?

    AB(f'n)G

    Hi! I'm interested in spending my birthday here, I was wondering how far in advance it's recommended to RSVP? Thank you!

    RSVP as soon as you can! But you need to make sure that your party is even ratio and have everyone's name or else they won't let you in. If you end up with an uneven ratio number of guys, I would suggest purchasing a table for your party.

    What is the dress code like?

    I would say a nice top and jeans and dressy flats/ heels for the ladies, and a buttonup and closed toed shoes for the men. It's dressy casual for a bar!

    Is this only 21+?

    Yes.

    What type of music is played on Friday nights?

    Honestly depends on the DJ but APT 503 does play predominately hip hop/rap music.

    How much is a table/bottle service?

    Cheapest starts around $300-360

    What is dress code for men n women? what if my friend decide just to go that day do they need to pay?

    Dress semi formal. Bottle service is recommended

    Is there an entrance fee?

    No they don't charge for an entrance fee. You need to rsvp by email (including you with your guest too) email: info@apt503.com & they would recommend yourself & guest to be there by 10:30p

    Which night is better? Friday or Saturday?

    Saturday

Echoing what everyone else has been saying - the service is SO slow. It was about 45 minutes before we were able to order our second drink and our water glasses were empty. They have so many runners bringing the drinks out but only a few servers and, from the looks of it, one bartender (on a Saturday night - what?!). The server was saying he was trying to find a manager to help out but they were nowhere to be found. Clearly management is fine with these service times since they're still making $$$. The drinks were delicious, and I loved that there were heaters on the patio (though they did get very hot at times). Our server was so kind and brought us a celebratory drink. I do wish there were more explanations with the beverages, especially for the Paid Vacation as most people will not realize you're supposed to bite into the buzz button for the tingly sensation. I would come back, but need some time for my wallet to recover first, haha!

The Library Bar is small, intimate, and effortlessly cool, with dim lighting, vintage vibes, and an atmosphere that feels both upscale and unpretentious. Open Thursday through Sunday evenings, it's the kind of place you want to linger. There's no printed menu--instead, one of their highly skilled mixologists asks you a few thoughtful questions and creates a drink tailored exactly to your taste. It's a personalized, artful experience--and our cocktails were nothing short of spectacular. There's no food served, but that honestly wasn't an issue. This is the perfect spot for a date night or a quiet, elevated way to unwind after a day exploring Hollywood. Our only regret? We didn't make it back for a second visit. If you appreciate craftsmanship in a glass, cozy ambience, and great conversation, Library Bar delivers all of that and more. A true standout.

    The best meal I've had in LA!…read more From start to finish, the service, atmosphere and food were all exquisite. The Valet is friendly & efficient. The rather hidden front door (the restaurant has no signage--so it's a secret--known by those in-the-know (and now you). The bar is dark and charming--feels like an English country home. That leads into a beautifully lit library bar lounge. The indoor/outdoor dining room is gorgeous: evoking a classic European courtyard. The open-air courtyard is surrounded by arched seating areas, each with curtains you can close for privacy. We arrived at 7:30 with the sunset's warm light entering through the open ceiling. As the sky got darker, the room took on a glow from the string lights, candles in niches, and central fireplace. The waiter was charming and friendly, and brought complimentary aperitifs of Luca Bosio Brachetto Rosso Semi Sweet wine. My friends who drink wine loved it and are ordering bottles for home. I don't like wine myself--but I still loved this because it was like a most delicious sweet lightly fizzy grape juice. We shared a cheese board which had a variety of fine cheeses and sweet grapes, honeycomb, dates, dried apricots and almonds. My friends shared the Mushroom Pappardelle--a rich, creamy mushroom sauce on wide delicate noodles. Excellent. I ordered the Steak Frites, 8 oz filet mignon, green beans, creamy peppercorn sauce, and garlic fries. *This was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten* --and my friends agreed. So tender I hardly needed a knife. And the sauce was savory perfection. Even the fries were delicate, crispy outside. The portions are large--I took about 1/3 of my steak and frites home, and my friends took enough pasta home for another meal. Since it was a special occasion, we ordered the Le Petit Gateau, a dark, rich, moist chocolate cake with golden candied wild cherries. So chocolatey, not too sweet--the hint of cherries made it very special. We each had at least one piece (OK, I had two) and there was still half a cake to take home! Firefly is truly special.

There's a deliberate sense of discovery to it that gives the place character. The main issue is access. Parking is limited and inconvenient. It feels designed more for rideshare drop-off or a bar-centric crowd than for people arriving on their own to sit down for dinner. If you're coming with friends for a relaxed meal, you should assume you'll either be circling for a spot or paying for valet. The food and drinks are fine, but not the reason to come. Prices sit noticeably above what the execution justifies, especially when compared to similar spots in the area. It's not bad, just not aligned with value. What Firefly does well is atmosphere. The lighting, layout, and hidden-garden concept create a mood that carries most of the experience. You don't come here chasing culinary excellence. You come because the space feels different from everything around it. It delivers on that promise. Just not much beyond it.

In between performances there was social dancing, with a lot of great dancers dressed to the nines. The birthday cake performance is something you got to see and experience, totally off the charts, like something you'd see in a movie! The final performance is with a giant martini glass. The girl dances around/in the glass filled with water and then pours champagne all over herself. One of the most wild over the top things I've ever seen! The energy and vibes were off the hook!
