Review of Frolic Room

This classic L.A. dive bar is located next door to the Pantages Theatre on Hollywood and Vine. Pumping too-loud music from one of the best CD jukeboxes in Los Angeles, Hollywood vampires hang out with rough-around-the-edges hipsters and old coots getting their fill of stiff, cheap drinks amid the Art Deco decor. Tip: The crowd gets really interesting right before and right after shows next door. Then you suddenly get way-overdressed Valley and Beverly Hills types who would never normally hang out in a place like this. It's a bit surreal. Look for Hedy Lamarr's star out front on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ("That's HEDLEY!").

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
