The Room Hollywood

Late-Night Lounge Vibes in the Heart of Hollywood

Set in the busy heart of Hollywood on North Cahuenga Boulevard, The Room Hollywood is a low-lit, stylish lounge with a cool, underground vibe. Known for its moody ambiance, DJ sets, and strong cocktails, it's a go-to spot for locals and visitors looking to kick off or wind down a night out. While it leans more toward a nightlife destination than a full-service restaurant, it’s a popular pre- and post-show hangout thanks to its central location near some of Hollywood’s biggest music venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is the biggest draw—just a short walk from multiple live music spots. The Room opens in the evening, making it a great place to grab a drink before heading to a show or to keep the night going afterward. With a DJ spinning most nights, the energy is high but not overwhelming early in the evening, so you can actually chat with friends before the music turns up. Plus, the bartenders are known for fast, friendly service, so you won’t be stuck waiting long to get your drink.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a cool, central meeting spot
• Solo travelers wanting a low-key but social vibe before a concert
• Couples seeking a dark, intimate lounge to start a night out
• Fans who want a pre-show drink in a hype-ready space
• Budget-conscious music fans appreciating solid happy hour deals

What People Say

Reviews from TripAdvisor and OpenTable say it all: “Great music, great drinks, great energy.” Regulars love the old-school hip-hop and R&B playlists, the vintage decor, and the no-attitude crowd. Many call it a “hidden gem” in the Hollywood bar scene, especially for those looking to avoid tourist-packed spots. While it doesn’t serve food, guests appreciate that it’s easy to pop in for a pre-show drink without needing a reservation.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not a full-service restaurant, so don’t arrive hungry—there’s no food menu here. Also, later in the night it gets very loud and packed, which can be a plus or minus depending on your vibe. Seating is limited, so arriving early is a good call if you want a spot to sit before a concert.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show in Hollywood and want a stylish, energetic lounge for drinks and DJ beats, The Room Hollywood hits the right note.
