Editorial Review for Kitsch Bar – by Janeen Christoff
The Scene
This sleek watering hole for the trendy and artistic is deceptively tucked away in a strip mall. Candlelit tables and black lounge chairs occupy most of the medium-sized room. Themed art installations like primitive Atari games and accessories inhabit glass cabinets along the back wall. Although there's no stage, jazz bands regularly perform in a corner of this chic space. Popular L.A. DJs frequent the turntable booth, and videos from local photographers and independent filmmakers are projected onto a screen in the middle of the bar. Music is kept relatively quiet, facilitating non-strained conversation.
The Draw
In contrast to its name, the bar remains sophisticated without being pretentious. Hip 20- and 30-somethings flock here to relax with friends and check out low-key DJ sets. The friendly and attractive staff is quick to offer drink suggestions and even attract a regular following of friends and admirers.
