Cool place, operates under different names on different days of the week (eg: Bar Sinister on Saturdays). Staff is very particular about checking ID, Vaccination Proof & keeping your mask on - so makes you feel safe inside. Drinks are decently priced & generous pours. Bands playing here are very fun to watch. Decor is always spot on. They have an indoor-outdoor space as well as a smaller upper floor space. Visited a few times now and each time has been a fun experience. Keep it up guys! See you next time 😀

TWO toilets. TWO. on each side of the bar. For a HUGE crowd of girls. I’ll keep posting one-star reviews until this is illegal. You want to spend half your night waiting for the bathroom? Come here! Oh and it’s disgusting! They can’t even bother to hire a bathroom attendant! I wish this place had more toilets, it could be a great place.

Had a great time listening to 80's music, people watching and drinking too much. Stayed till closing time, oh, what a night. On Monday night you can get an entry discount ($10) by using the online coupon. Depending on how much you drink and what you drink will do damage to your wallet.

My new favorite bar in LA, this place is beautiful! Dark and romantic with a gorgeous wood bar and cozy navy blue velvet booths.

One of my fave bars.. usually filled with locals and not tourists. Nice and dark with a great happy hour, great drinks and service and some serious Hollywood history.

I enjoy the night a lot. The place is very spacious, there are several different spots, the bartender attended to me at the time, I saw security around, they ask for the vaccination card which I thought was very positive. The decor was very cool, , good music, I think worth it.

Happy they are open! Everything looks spaced out and they enforce masks when you walk around which is good. This is just my OCD, but I feel like the bartender is handling money or credit cards and then touches garnishes, lemons, and cherries with his hands and it just grosses me out. Lol so that's probably just my 2 cents. Other than that, it's pretty chill and the drinks are decent. I miss it here for sure. So I am happen that they are open.

Was soooo excited to come here!! one of my favorite spots in Hollywood..musoca was great the atmosphere as always great! The only thing that was a jaw dropper were the price for drinks!! Way over priced! 2 beers and a shot almost 40 bucks plus tip? Yeah not worth it...when i go back i am definitely gonna pre-drink, i have the money but not to throw away on a $10beer that cost 2 bucks elsewhere.

I come here a lot and like, I used to think the music wasn’t that bad, then I realized they just played the same songs in a different order lol. So I came on a whim, on (09/01) and I’m so incredibly disappointed, it’s actually so sad to see this place fall so far idk who was on aux but plz never hire them again :/ (whoever this guy is)

Best alternative club in town! Live performances on Fridays! Patio for the kids and indoors it’s goth/dark wave/ alternative. People of all ages. Hit up a dancer or photographer for discounted entry. Great bouncer and security keep you safe and the riff raff out!

One of my favorite places to go out to dance new wave. They have 2 dance floors and sometimes have live bands playing. It’s a whole vibe

Staff was awesome! It was amazing to be in a spot of Hollywood History... And yes, the food was great, the drinks were better!

Drinks are expensive and not particularly exciting. Atmosphere is nice but overall lacks focus.

The venue is really cool and i love that there’s always good music. My advice is that you DON’T USE THE COAT CHECK. The woman doesn’t really take care of the coats that are placed in a way that people can see them and take them. I guess it was my fault for having faith in humanity but someone stole my jacket and the woman tried to tell us that our ticket was old or something. She gave us that ticket, told us to take a photo in case we lost it, and then acted like we didn’t have the right ticket. Even if i had the wrong ticket my black faux fur jacket wasn’t there, so her argument made no sense. It was my favorite jacket and it doesn’t even exist online or at the store i bought it from anymore. And i can’t even afford to buy a new one. An amazing night was ruined by this incident.

Kicked us out for wearing white shoes even though they don’t have their dress code posted anywhere and to be completely honest … who cares about anyones shoes ??? So ridiculous. If you care that much at least let the public know your policies. Will never be returning. Staff was rude and people just want to have a good time on the weekends. Thanks for ruining that!

This is the last true Dive Bar in Hollywood and when I say dive you bet it is. It's a real dump you got to cast a characters at the bar and it's always a gamble not knowing what's going to happen next. They have theme nights like golf night and live music as well. Don't go there looking to be impressed go there for $5 beers and cheap wells.

The entire place has been updated, but has not lost its dive bar "charm." A great list of special cocktails.

Been enjoying going here for many years when I lived in Hollywood. But, I moved away 10 years ago...I was super happy to find that everything felt the same there. I will always recommend this spot to friends visiting this area.

Great and fun place! It’s layed out beautifully and the interior design was cool too. The staff was friendly and fun. The atmosphere was great too and the drinks were decently priced and strong

Very chill, moody spot. We usually stop here for a drink before heading into the goth parties next door. They have some excellent wines available for reasonable prices, but beers are very over priced considering they're just bottles from a fridge. Some of the cocktails are gross, avoid the sparkling wine cocktails.

This place is amazing. Went for their Saturday Bar Sinister night and had a great time. Great music, dancing, and atmosphere. I'm coming back every time im in LA.

They wouldn't let me in because I wasn't wearing all black. The guy at the door pointed at a sign that read, Gothic attire only. Took my nephew here because he just flew in from Denver Colorado. After reviewing their pics, I noticed many people not wearing all black. Wonder why I was discriminated against?

I haven't been here in over twenty years. I paid my respects to Vin Scully's Hollywood star and stopped in for an IPA. Cool kidz!

Of all the bars in Hollywood, this is my absolute favorite. The best old fashioned around with the best menu and most welcoming, friendliest folks serving spirits, I cannot recommend Boardner's more. Patio seating is available at the moment but I admit I am eager to sit along the indoor bar again. Talk about old Hollywood ambiance, Boardner's is all about it.

Great bar! kind of like the slightly sleazier & rougher around the edges sister bar to Musso & Franks which is across the road. Both have great appeal M&F is like posh Hollywood & boardners is like a more down to earth bar but you should definitely visit both if in the area. Our server here was very friendly & thoroughly enjoyed my visit here, will definitely have a beer here next time I’m in town.

My favorite pre-game place before bar sinister or any other club in Hollywood. Great spot if you're going for a more relaxed night, this place is it. Great movies are always on the TV screens, low music so you can actually have a conversation. Great happy hour deals too!

Their cheeseburger is one of the best I've ever had. Don't ever change it please 🙏🤤

Impressive and swanky wine lounge located right in the heart of downtown. Bright and inviting with a very modern feel. This is a perfect spot to hang out with a larger group with a number of lounge seating areas and high top bars. As a matter of fact, the seating is some of the best I have seen in terms of layout and access to the bar. Be sure to dress to impress.

Great bartenders, intrusive and socially awkward bouncers, delightful decor. Fun times.

Nothing on tap, but a solid selection of bottles and cans to choose from. Be sure to get the ribs if you eat there, they're falling off the bone every time I've had them.

Favorite bar, great drinks, chill sultry vibe, typically not too crowded as I manage to get a seat at the bar almost every time I go there. Great and kind service.

My wife and I attended "Wenzday's Party" and had such a great time. The staff running the event were fantastic and the music was great. The decor and atmosphere were awesome!

I’m making an official complaint against venue/event organizer. My group was discriminated against and denied entry based on false accusations. Meanwhile, we witnessed the bouncers for the venue allow individuals into the event who had open alcohol containers and drug paraphernalia. Empty alcohol containers were littered throughout the entrance line. I witnessed one of the bouncers verbally admitting to knowing an individual was carrying cocaine paraphernalia on their person, yet they were still granted entry. This bouncers name is “Zeke”. We believe our group was targeted based on our gender/age and bouncers refused to identify themselves. I would urge venue management to investigate their compliance with their own policies and the state of California. Bouncers at this venue are misogynistic and unprofessional. Would highly recommend anyone considering going here to choose a different place to spend your money.

On October 27th, a group of friends and I attended a special event called "Club Decades" at this establishment for their Halloween event. My group experienced discrimination and was unjustly denied entry on the basis of unfounded allegations. They claimed our friend was drinking in line when she wasn't. We asked for proof and the bouncers just laughed. In contrast, we observed the venue's security staff permitting individuals with open alcohol containers and drug paraphernalia to enter the event. Furthermore, the entrance area was marred by empty alcohol containers. I personally overheard one of the bouncers, identified as "Zeke", who is African American, acknowledging an individual's possession of cocaine paraphernalia, yet they were still granted entry. Our group believes that we were singled out due to our gender and age, and the bouncers declined to disclose their identities. I hope the venue's management to investigate their adherence to their own policies and those of the state of California. The behavior of the bouncers at this establishment is both misogynistic and unprofessional. I would strongly advise anyone contemplating a visit to this venue to consider spending their money elsewhere. After reading these other reviews on google and mainly on yelp, these bouncers and security guards have a long history of discrimination, misogyny, aggressiveness, and a major power trip. With all of these other reviews similar to mind, I' 'm surprised they haven't been sued yet.

Boardners is a Hollywood gem! Its vintage vibe, moody lighting, and live music create a unique atmosphere. The cocktails are inventive, and the food is delicious. It's a top-notch spot for a night out, offering a memorable blend of history and modern entertainment.

Great and fun place! It’s layed out beautifully and the interior design was cool too. The staff was friendly and fun. The atmosphere was great too and the drinks were decently priced and strong

If you're going to one of the goth nights-- Wednesday or Saturday, there is a dresscode. Don't go if that bothers you. Not everyone wants to look at people wearing slippers and pajamas.

Really fun place to go to both by yourself and with friends. They have amazing music, atmosphere, and drinks and occasionally has bands, live dancers performing, and free entry specials. Haven't tried their food but their clubbing events are always a fun time :)

Love Boardner's! ♥️💯 Boarder's has been my local watering hole in Hollywood for years, the atmosphere is comfortable personal fabulous, the customers are my kind of people all down to earth. Today I invited my friend Eva she had never been there before she loved it!

A Hollywood classic. A must see, especially on two for one cocktail Tuesday. Classic design, great vibe. Parking is tough on weekends but not as bad during the week but Lyft or Uber is never a bad idea if you're checking out Hollywood, which has changed a lot over the past decade.

Love this place! Delicious food and drinks. Lovely atmosphere.

They have a Photo Booth, it took my money and gave me no picture, no number to call the booth people at. When I asked a staff member about it he said I wouldn’t get charged and I did, I knew that would happen so when I asked him what if I do what do I need to do then he said email the club. I emailed the club weeks ago three days after th attended and they still haven’t contacted me at all.

Great place, great atmosphere, meals are reasonably priced.

patrons are kind and friendly, bartend is excellent! and the happy hour food options are pleasant and filling. I loved my visit

What a let down. Heard nothing but great things about this place… Went in at 5:30pm tonight. It was barely full. Sat down and sat at the table over 10 minutes and watched the waiter walk pass us multiple times and never acknowledged us. Not once. It was like we went even there. At the 15 minute mark we got up and walked out and no one said a word to us, not even the doorman. Bye. Won’t be back. ***Thank for the reply - again, it was our first time - it would have been GREAT it staff used CUSTOMER SERVICE and informed us of ORDERING AT THE BAR FIRST! Just because the sign says "order here", that could be mistaken for bar customers only. Glad we went to Frank and Musso.

This a great Hollywood bar.. food is great. Good value

Great food and service. Been going to the club for over 15 years. It's a place I frequent at least 3-4 nights a week. They have some great themed nights ranging from 80s to 2000s to goth and industrial. Definitely a must if you are in the area.
