Bar Lubitsch
7702 Santa Monica Blvd (map)
West Hollywood, CA 90046
(323) 654-1234
Though its name confuses some and draws snickers from others, this place offers the West Hollywood bar scene a fresh perspective with its decadent Soviet atmosphere. Its red-lit, two-room layout offers plenty of room to frolic Nutcracker-style, complete with an always-popular front smoking patio. Designed in the fashion of a Russian dance club, with the large back room reserved for actual dancing, this spacious, semi-trendy hangout attracts crowds without seeming to feel crowded. Over 200 kinds of vodka make the drink selection huge and interesting (cucumber mojito?), even though most of them probably can’t be pronounced from a Latin language tree. The patio can be an exception to the crowded rule, and lines can start to be a problem a bit early in the night.

The haiku version:
If you start to feel
Historically out of place
It’s the Lubitsch Touch
