This place was awesome for my birthday! Absolutely on point considering everything with covid. We wore our mask anytime we weren't eating or drinking. Everyome there was friendly. The food was fantabulous! I'm now a fan. The atmosphere is classy but down to earth.

Steeped in noir with red lighting and a look of wartime french interiors, Bordel is an interesting place to spend a few drinks. It's situated above a restaurant (flipping the script on most speakeasies) and has a nice simple seating layout inside, with plush red love seats. The night started off a little bumpy as drink service was slow and I was seated in an unpadded wooden chair, since I was solo. However, the drinks were well made and once they came, they were steady and tasty. My server (Erin) set it up right once I told her I wanted a better seat for the show and got me with a group up front. The show (Venmo at Vaudevilletheshow) was intimate and entertaining without being overly long and the 2 showrunners had good stage presence. Overall everything was good once it got going, but at the beginning I was starting to think a good night was going to waste. I would definitely recommend. Although, I will mention since it is at odds with the visual design, the DJ was very loud and very high energy. I would think a more melodious or evenhanded soundtrack would meld with the theme. I cannot comment on the food since I didn't order any. 2 stars off for the rocky start to service and seating location and for the club soundtrack. Will rerate once I have been there again if it is needed.
When I worked at Paramount, this was my regular bar for after work/happy hour drinks. Now, it's a regular stop off when taking out-of-town friends & family out in Hollywood. It has a killer atmosphere, great grub & drinks and awesome service. The juke box is maybe the best in Hollywood, there is always amazing music coming from that thing.
Went here for a cocktail after dinner down the street and it was a pleasant surprise. Enjoyed the punch drink and several other drinks with friends. They had a live DJ that played very good music and the bartenders were very pleasant. Cool space would return.
