Hollywood Smoke is everything I hoped it would be and more. I've been wanting to come here for a…read morelong time, and my wife and I finally made it in--and wow, what an experience. Greg, the owner, truly knows his cigars. You can immediately tell he's passionate and incredibly knowledgeable, and his recommendations made for an amazing smoke. Beyond that, the conversation was just as enjoyable as the cigar itself. The atmosphere felt like family. Everyone knew each other, people were welcoming, and it never felt intimidating or pretentious--just relaxed, genuine, and comfortable. My wife and I had such a great time hanging out, talking, and soaking in the vibe. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. An amazing smoke experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Upon arriving to the original 10:15 pm reservation we were told they stopped serving food at 9:30 pm. Poor miscommunication about a) reservation/ booking b) what time their kitchen closes The whiskey selection is nice. And the place is beautiful but quite hard to find. I'm sure if we had a walker res things would have been different. Unfortunately I was too turned off so I probably won't try again. Staff was nice enough to help get a res upstairs at Dante's.

We have been to The Whisky Bar several times now and we LOVE IT! They have great staff who are very…read moreattentive and always there to help. Good selection of whisky and other cocktails if you are not an avid whisky drinker. The cigar addition makes for a lovely evening. I am HOOKED on the grilled prawns. I have had them every time now because they are the best. I have seen complaints about the $100 minimum per person, but if you get a cocktail, cigar and bits it won't be an issue. Also, it's not a walk up bar so make sure you make a reservation to assure access.

We went to see a tribute band with a very jazzy vibe, which was a lot of fun. The venue is quite small and fills up quickly, so grab a stool when you can! Just don't try to move it around, or you'll definitely hear about it. The bartenders seemed a little moody during our visit, although the place was very crowded, so I'm assuming that was why. Parking is surprisingly convenient, with public parking structures right outside the venue. They were only a few dollars an hour, and the first 90 minutes were almost free, which is a great bonus. The surrounding area is also lovely and very walkable.

I can honestly say that we've never had bad service. After reading some of the reviews, I guess we've been pretty fortunate because our experiences have always been positive. I actually appreciate the security team for helping ensure everyone stays safe, and they've always been friendly and professional with us. The bar has plenty to enjoy, including a pool table, fireplaces, and various games. The bartenders are organized and efficient. Don't expect a lot of engagement, as they're typically very busy, especially when the place gets crowded. Tonight, we had no problem finding a seat, and other guests were very accommodating about sharing space. Overall, it was a great night and a wonderful way to wrap up our evening in Santa Monica. Tips: It can get noisy, but hey go in with that expectation and you'll be fine. Expect the ladies restroom to have a line, It's a 2 stall. Finally, regarding street parking follow the times of payment, they do ticket.

It's located in the old Clock Tower building, and the Art Deco decor is absolutely stunning--dark enough to hide a bad day but vibrant enough for a girls' night. The Vibe: It's loud, lively, and perfectly "bohemian chic". If you're coming on a weekend, prepare for a crowd, but it's the good kind of crowded where everyone looks like they just came from a gallery opening. The Food: I'm still thinking about the Crispy Chicken Sandwich--it was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and came with a fennel-apple slaw that actually felt fresh. We also shared the Bacon Wrapped Dates (obviously) and the Hand Cut Kennebec Fries, which arrive in a bowl so huge it could basically be its own zip code. The Drinks: Their Happy Hour is arguably the best in the city. I had the Japanese Dream with matcha, and it was expertly crafted--not too sweet, which is my biggest pet peeve. The "Misfit" Moment: The service can be a tiny bit slow when it's "rammed," and there's a 4% kitchen fee that feels a bit unnecessary, but they make up for it with those complimentary sea salt chocolate chip cookies at the end. They are warm, gooey, and life-changing. One major heads-up: I heard a rumor they might be closing their doors on April 18th due to some landlord drama, so get there while you still can.

From the moment I opened the door, I knew this was going to be a great experience. I was offered freshly delivered pizza and suggestions ok stogies. Honestly, the cigars were slightly higher in price than my usual lounges but the bar and hospitality made up for it. Bought one of my favorite sticks and a matching single malt scotch. Rigo, the owner was in the house, great guy. Adding this lounge to my regulars. Metered parking in back, bar with mostly whiskeys, bourbons and scotch. Not a large selection of cigars but good premium options.

It was initially confusing when we arrived, because there was no host on shift, and we had to ask the barista inside where we should be going. After taking a peek in the actual downstairs basement tavern, we opted to sit outside under the eclectic mix of chandeliers, heat lamps, and lightbulbs, instead of the empty smoky basement. There was a live pianist playing in the front lawn, which was amazing and pretty much made the night. I don't know if it's a regular thing, but if it is, I'd definitely come back just for that. Probably since it was a weekday night, the place was pretty deserted, but we didn't mind - it was like a private show with plenty of seating options. The happy hour food was awesome. We got a bunch of appetizers to share, and there was plenty of food. Our favorite was probably the grilled octopus and calamari, and the brussel sprouts were amazing. The fish tacos and ceviche were not bad, but tasted basically the same. Our server was really sweet. In the future, I would come in a group of three since it seems like all the appetizers come in multiples of three and it would have been more easily shared between us.
