Nice spot in LA but you definitely have to know someone to get in here, or at least act like you do, but it was my sister's bday and we had reserved a few tables so we had no problem getting in. Beautiful on the inside very classical Hollywood style with a modern flair, then you go outside and the patio is really nice, it's like the place just throws up and there's the patio in front of you with another bar hahaha (but that's a good thing). The music was pretty good; could have been better (hence it not getting 5 stars) but I had more fun just talking to random people. read more

your typical scene bar in hollywood! great inside but very expensive drinks. i usually come here with my friends who know the "password" so i never had to wait in line. try to find out the password before you go hah. good music, fun people, like i said, a scene bar with multi levels and weird pictures on the walls. parking kinda sucks but usually can find a spot on the street if you circle a few times. i would rather go to the ecco lounge anyday :/ read more

***beware of card and bank issues if you use a debit or credit card. If you must come here, I recommend bringing cash. If you use a card they will temporarily charge you $20 for EACH DRINK. Even if you keep your tab open. I've even asked the bartenders (who are nice enough) about this. I was never given a clear answer. Every time I go I just deal with it and watch the charges drop after 24hrs. But tonight my card was shut off after leaving Bardot, due to suspected "fraudulent activity" I had one charge of $10, a charge of $20, and another for $20. I spent no more than $25 after tip. I'd be inclined to give this place a better review if the bulk of my experience wasn't remembering having my card shut off. I feel like it's a simple fix and hope management makes an improvement to their "temporary charge" system. I've never experienced temporary charges this high ever. This place is quantity of quality. They don't need to give a great experience when hundreds of people are spending a lot of money every evening. The place is clean, and the house staff is decent. Bartenders are fine, they deal with a lot of people and still take care of you in a quick amount of time. Bands are usually good, as is the sound (even though the room isn't really designing to hold bands). While it does sound good, it's a tight room and I'd recommend ear plugs as "it might get loud" read more

It's a cool spot to chill with friends for an hour or so. I came here on a Friday and paid 5 bucks to get in. I wasn't so big on the electro and indie songs that they were being were played. The venue is well designed with a good layout that makes it easy to go from one room to another. A few times I felt out of place when I was in the middle of a bunch of hipsters and tall skinny models. If my old homies from the past were to see me in a crowd like that, I would get shot. I'm sure other people enjoyed it more than I did, and that's probably why we decided to leave early and hit up Tommy's burgers. read more

Came here recently for a work holiday party. The place was closed off for our event and made for a great venue. They had servers walking around with delish appetizers and open bar. Plenty of tables to sit at as well as a dance floor and lots of walking room. Wouldn't come here for a night out but definitely a great venue to rent out for a party. read more

liked it better as the Spider Club. Was there for private party and the help was so rude...party was awesome fun....oh and the lady handing out towels in restroom was the nicest and most awesome worker there.....give her big big tips people....I gave her a hug and a tip,,,,I love the club it was just the help that didn't really do it for me.....and when the party was over hung out to see the clubers....didn't stay long...but the old fellow in the purple sequence jacket was so awesome! read more

went there for steve aoki and dj am last sunday. the club itself is beautiful. very classic feel to it. vip service was very polite and thorough. the only real downside is the layout. upstairs for one, above avalon and after a few pre drinks, the stairs can be your mortal enemy. the smoking room is way bigger than the actual club and even though their are side entrances to get back and forth, the only obvious one is right up the middle making an obvious traffic jam at times. two bar areas which helps out a lot and as a few other reviews said, drinks are abou 10 bucks a pop, but then again, hot spot in hollywood on vine and two of the best dj's out there were spinning, I didn't expect much less. if they were any cheaper I would have given it 5 stars and been a whole lot more drunk when I left. read more

Monday used to be the hot night when the celebs showed, not sure anymore. Get a dinner reservation to avoid waiting to get in. Pricey food of course. Lots of lounge seating, you can sit without bottle service some nights. read more

Bardot was our second stop of the evening. Like I said, this being my first club experience, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was spoiled. My friends are promoters, so we got VIP and bottle service and a table. Wasn't much into the dancing, the Grey Goose just kept on coming and I was focusing my attention on that. Pretty good night. I enjoyed myself very much. Definitely will be going back. read more

I've been here like five times, and I love it! Such a nice sophisticated atmosphere, pretty people and yummy food. Absolutely recommend the goat cheese lollipops, definitely delicious. it's pretty pricey but it's worth it in my opinion. Food is fast and the workers are really helpful in recommending what's best on the menu! Also, portions are very small. read more

Came here for an after party on a Saturday. Drinks were moderately priced I got a vodka cran double for $12 and every sip was like taking a shot. The venue is really nice, they have sofas and arm chairs. Really nice place to chill. They also have a DJ dance area with couches surrounding it if you just want to drink and people watch. read more

Went here a few days ago to hear a terrific singer. The setting was reminiscent of the I Dream of Jeannie bottle. The stage is near the center of the room, with the bar area behind a wall, behind the stage. There's lots of tile & brick & large beams that probably should have produced a lot of echo. Nope, performance was good, sound was good, overall experience was good. read more

This is a cute little spot where you can hear some great live music. I have been on 2 different occasions. One to see Bruno Mars jam out and the other to see Stacey Barthe (songwriter) perform at the Honey Live event that occurs once a month. The Bardot has great ambiance which makes it a cool spot. The main floor can be tight if its crowded which makes the space uncomfortable, but they have a few cute rooms to pass through. read more

i only ever come here for the "school night" performances, which are usually fantastic. the decor is really nice. as a matter of fact, too nice. way to swanky to allow people like me in there. i digress. parking next door will cost you $10, which is a bummer. drinks are super expensive, strike two. no cover to have the bands stretch your ear drum to its max., its saving grace. definitely worth a try read more

Very nice venue, I go on Mondays. Only some of the bartenders for good drinks... speaking of which, 1 of the employees decided to try to tip themselves extra on my credit card. Illegal. read more

Classy place, went to see my friends friend perform & it was awesome, we had front stage seating, drinks are delicious, the place is beautiful. Great people, pricy, but worth it. read more

I heard a lot about Bardot prior to going there, mostly good reviews. My friend and I decided to head out on a Wednesday because supposedly this is the night to go. We arrived at 10:30pm and surprisingly there was no line, which I know it's a Wednesday but again, this was apparently the day of the week to head out to Bardot. The design had a very European 1920-30's feel to it, and there was an open bar until 11pm which is always nice. The limited crowd was your typical LA scene, beautiful young women, rich older men. I'm not sure if it was just an off night but there was definitely something missing besides the people. I always like to try a place twice before I make my call, but I don't think I'll be rushing back to Bardot anytime soon. read more

Music lovers should definitely go the Thursday Night Music Sessions here. There are a variety of talented singers who get up with the house band and truly excite the audience. There is such variety, and such charisma from all involved you can't help but want to jump up on stage too, although I'm positive this would not be received well. Macy Gray sang, and Derek Whibley played guitar, and even Dan Ackroyd was in the booth next to us having a great time. It's a unique experience to be in such an intimate and beautiful environment in Hollywood, and not feel like you are in Hollywood. Saturdays have musicians too, and a DJ, so even if you only go out on the weekends, you should still stop in. read more

very cool lounge. We weren't on the list, but the bouncers were nice to us cause we got there early on a saturday night. nice sophisticated crowd. good music. Awesome looking interior. cocktails around 12 dollars. I really want to come back for some live music performances. If you don't like over the top flashy, you'd like it here. read more

I just recently moved to the area from NY and my friends decided to drag me out of the house and down to this club on Tuesday for the Mr. Black party. I was impressed, no cover charge, free vodka drinks for the first hour and an incredibly gorgeous venue. The staff and clientele at this club seemed very friendly and out going for the most part which was very settling for someone like myself who knew absolutely no one. Their are of coarse some clicks but that didn't seem to really matter. The DJ spun some stellar tunes and the dance floor was packed, but not to the point where you feel like canned sardines. Naturally I came back the following week and had just as fun, if not more. If you haven't been to this place yet you need to check it out. read more

I love this place. My friends and I try to come here when we see a good lineup (which is quite often), and we live right up the street so it's only a convenient 10 minute walk. Only issue my friends and I had was the doorman working the event last night for "It's A School Night". He was extremely rude and and hostile towards my friend who needed to run back to our place to get his debit card in order to purchase drinks inside the event. He had a very snarky tone and the only word he seemed to be able to speak was "no". He wouldn't even look at us. I understand there may be a "no in's and out's" policy for that venue, but he was holding a huge stack of wristbands, there was no line whatsoever, and it was only going to take 15 minutes (which we told him). The attitude of the doorman and his unprofessional responses turned us off the event, ultimately making us want to leave. We still plan to return to Bardot, just hopefully the employers replace the doorman or tell him to be more professional and explanatory to whom he encounters. read more

So I went here yesterday which was gay night. The set up is nice its cool you can smoke inside which I thought was cool. Its so easy meeting people here cuz its so packed that you end up getting like 10 numbers by the end of the night. I came a little bit late like around 11pm thats a good time to go. Its no cover charge and open bar at 9pm. Music was okay crowd was like 8 and 9's. read more

I like the decor and chill atmosphere..feels like im in someones large living room.The lights on the dancefloor flashing brightly on me constantly is ANNOYING though! Its cool to be there before 3 am since its not too crowded yet.After 3 they close Avalon next door i guess so all the young crowd comes in and it gets hot and stuffy and lame real fast. read more

Never thought I'd write a review on yelp... Went to Bardot/Mr. Black's two nights ago. Wasn't quite sure what to expect. If you've never been, expect this: There's No Cover. It's hot and crowded. Don't layer. Bathrooms are not separated according to sex. The drinks are kind of pricy. $12 for a Pinot Grigio and $8 for well drinks. The music was meh. Keep your customer receipt!!! The bartenders charged my card twice! I went back to Bardot the following night to correct the charge, and the manager in the front told me to call during normal business hours 10AM-5PM. Well, I've tried calling three times now--its 11AM. And guess what?? crickets!!! No one is working/answering. I will probably go back. Definitely won't be nearly as dressed up and will absolutely be paying with CASH. read more

I went on a school night the place is different live band , i dont like this kind of music it was packed , casual attire.

Monday night is my favorite,very cool local band,d.j,its not too crowded,mature Hollywood scene Full bar,decor is amazing, beautiful outdoor patio,hot cocktail servers,no line, upscale venue, dress code , valet parking HAD A LOT OF FUN !!! read more

Just got my credit card bill. Bardot tacked on an extra $10 to my bill. My friend and I had 1 beer and 1 jack and coke. Which as I recall is about $18. My credit card bill said Bardot, $28. So someone decided to pad the tip, or something. LAME. Already called Chase, aint paying for that. This happend at the Key Club once also. NOTE if you go to Bardot and use a credit card and you have paperless billing or automatic bill pay, check your statement. Imagine if they tacked on $10 to customers every night and no one checked.... nice lil pay day. read more

My wife and I just went here this past weekend for an after party. We had an ok time. This place was way too crowded and as the night went by it kept getting packed. We think this place was way too over crowded for how big it is. At one point my wife couldn't get across the room and had to go around down to the other other room and back up the stairs just to get to me. As the night went by it started stinking more and more like BO. We ended up leaving at 11 and I don't think we will come back on a Saturday. We were told Monday's are good but I don't know if we will come back. read more

I have not been to Bardot, on Vine, but I just want to let everyone know who has been there or is going there, that in the 1960's A vaudeville TV show called the Hollywood Palace (It was on TV on Sat nights) was taped there for ABC TV I worked the show as a page. Here are some of the famous people who preformed on the stage at Bardot. Bing Crosby,. Milton Burl, Jimmy Durante, Rachael Welch, Steve Allen, Jerry Lee Lewis, Sammy Davis Jr, and many more. read more

I am writing this scathing review because of how you treated Rock Journalist Julie Ann Page, Lost Anarchy Magazine and all the bands at the Motorpsycho event you hosted terribly for them. I am recording artist Matty O' and you haven't heard the last of this from me or the rest of the Hollywood Music Scene. A hashtag has been created on Twitter #onestar and you will be seeing it on your feed soon. Patrons, the staff here, the bouncers, hostesses, bartenders, and especially the sound man, do not care about you, or your night out. The service is condescending and terrible, plus the fire exit strategy is non existent and highly dangerous. Support the local Los Angeles music scene and avoid this place like the plauge. You have been warned. read more

I'm a fan. this review says it all and has great pictures. http://www.chinashopmag.com/2010/01/bardot-hollywood-glamour-shines/

Horrendous! We had been on the guest-list for weeks and upon arrival had to wait over an hour as they had a private party and didn't open til gone 11pm (they negated to tell us this little gem until we had all arrived... all 30 of us). We waited as it was my friends 30th birthday and she really wanted to spend it there. Once it was time for entry the captain jack sparrow (Jonny/james) wannabe informed us that there was no room in the inn (bare in mind the place was still empty as they hadn't let anyone in yet). Then a couple weeks ago another friend had organized her birthday there which they proceeded to cancel the night before making her find another venue on the day that would take 45 people in last minute! Obnoxious staff, poor waiting facilitates and who have made it a point to ruin 2 of my friends birthdays. Enter this place at your own risk. I certainly won't be anytime in the future read more

The venue its self is amazing, full points there. The Staff on Tuesday or Mr Black's on the other hand was not. Not only did the bartender loose my card and give it to someone else, but he attempted to tell me that "you probably dropped it". His manager was no better, suggesting the same thing, and ultimately telling me that there was no way to recover the card. Considering that the bartender attempted to give me another person's card originally, and that more drinks were purchased with mine, it seems unlikely that after giving my card to the bartender, I magically managed to loose it while it was outside of my possession. Moral of the story there: staff are less than competent(and rude), and definitely pay in cash unless you want to have an extra fun night being told that someone else's mistake is your fault. Crowd on Tuesday: well dressed and interesting, obviously not packed to the gills like one would expect on a weekend, but for a Tuesday, fairly good. Drinks: expensive, but about what you'd expect from a trendy nightclub. My gin and tonic was 12. Would I ever go again? Probably not on Tuesday; definitely only with cash. read more

Bardot has a cozy, sexy vibe to it. Everything is dark and lush like the interior of a David Lynch film. If Laura Palma lived in Hollywod this is where she would have gone to get trashed and gangbanged before Leland throws her in a ditch somewhere. Oh so hip experimental music blairs loudly while oh so hip people crow the dance floor, surrounding by the too cool (scared) to dance that vegetate and sink in to the dark furniture like decadent scenery. Oh, and the inside is open air (you can smoke). read more

This place was great! I went on a Monday it was $10 for people under 21. It was packed by 11 and the bands playing were amazing, really talented. I liked the vibe of this place, very chill. I have only been on Monday nights, but I'm sure it's great any other day. read more

#TGIM! I love going to School Night every Monday. The venue is beautiful and the music is the best. I've seen so many talented artist performing here and there is no cover. Couldn't get better than this! :) read more

It's a School Night and Bardot on Monday night are by far the best thing in LA during the week!

My issue with this place is the staff. I purchased 2 bottled beers on my card for $14.00 and left a cash tip. Next day had a hold for $16.20 on my card. Called Bardot to try to get them to explain it, but the number has been disconnected. It's not the money, but the principle that their staff is dishonest. Beware. read more

My friends and I made reservations for Bardot last Thursday. We called earlier that day to make sure it was not going to be a hassle to get in. We thought we had covered all the prerequisites, we made the reservations, left the boys at home, dressed and looked as cute as possible. We got to the club at about 1030 PM and there was no line at all. We spoke to the bouncers and they said that we did not make any reservations, we were not on their list and that was it. They did not tell us to wait in line, they refused to answer any of our questions, and didn't even make eye contact with us. After some time of waiting, we asked to check the list again, or if we could speak to a manager. The tall learn bouncer then said that we were being rude. We felt insulted that we weren't even "allowed" to speak. Women were given the right to vote and state our opinion almost an entire century ago! There was no line! but a few guys were able to walk in without a fuss. It was really strange. After a few minutes we left. I understand that they try to make their clubs seem exclusive, but this was extremely bad service. We had money to spend on their stupid over priced drinks! Anyway, we ended up walking up Hollywood Blvd, where a few promoters would ask us to come in to their club. We ended up going to Les Deux that night, we were greated, welcomed, the bouncers even joked around with us. What a difference!!! We are never going back to Bardot EVER. read more

What a great place to see your favorite bands play. It's so up close and personal and never a bad seat in the house. If you want to sit upfront then you either have to reserve a table or get there early for first come first serve seating. Atmosphere is pretty chill and has a mixture of people. Drinks are a tad bit pricey and water is $5. Didn't really bother me since the concert was free. Negatives: I can't stand the cigarette smoke that's allowed indoors because technically the establishment is outdoors. The roof is like a canopy, so I'm guessing that's why it's allowed. But it feels like everyone is smoking in enclosed building and it made me sick. I'm allergic to smoke so that's why I have more of a problem with it but for those who don't care then it won't bother you. The couches/reserved seating are so gross looking. I don't even want to know what they look like with the lights on. Just from being on them in the dark, they looked filthy, nasty and stained. That didn't deter me from seeing my favorite band and I'm sure it'll be the same for you. read more
