this hot valley hangout draws both locals and Hollywood hipsters willing to venture into the 818 to check out its retro-chic delights and killer jukebox. though it's usually packed just about every night of the week, the friendly crowd will make room for you (reminding you that you're definitely not in hollwyood anymore). take a seat at the inviting redwood bar, wander back to check out the quirky orange wallpaper in the lounge area, or wait your turn at the pool table or tabletop ms. pacman and galaga machines ... you'll swear you've wandered into some '80s rec room from your childhood.
