Beauty Bar

Beauty Bar Detail

Beauty Bar might be a good place to go for a girls-night out. After all, you can get a manicure or a henna tattoo all while sipping on a cocktail. The crowd mainly consists of young hipsters and the music varies between oldies, 80's, and rock. As for me, I'll probably never go back nor invite my friends to go. The dive bar vibe really doesn't justify the $11 drinks and my biggest complaint is that this place tries to be real swanky, but ends up being cheesy.

My favorite part of the bachelorette party was our stop at the Beauty Bar on LA's La Cahuenga corridor. It's a small little bar/club that offers drinks, dancing, manicures, and henna tattoos. After the bartender whipped me up a pretty delicious virgin concoction, I headed over to the manicure station to get my nails done. I then hit the dance floor, where I conveniently incorporating the waving of my hands to dry my nails into my regular dance routine.

The interior of this place was something right out of the 60's. Which makes sense, since the owners retrofitted the space with a mid-sixties salon interior salvaged from Bakersfield. Because the bar has a retro vibe, it draws more of a hipster crowd (and surprisingly more guys than girls) and a wider range of dance tunes than your normal clubbin' atmosphere. I enjoyed every minute!
