Bar Marmont

Top choice in West Hollywood & Mid-City


Elegant, but not stuck up; been around, yet still cherished. With high ceilings, molded walls and terrific martinis, the famous and the wish-they-weres still flock here. If you time it right you might see celebs – the Marmont doesn't share who. Come midweek. Weekends are for amateurs.
