Something I've been wanting to ask the group. Where do you actually go in LA when you want a bar or lounge you can have a real conversation in, without screaming over the music all night?
I love a good night out, but sometimes you just want good drinks, a nice room, and to actually hear the person across from you. Bonus if it has a little atmosphere without turning into a club at 10pm. Where are your go-to spots for that?
Employees Only in West Hollywood is my go-to for this. The music never fights you and the bartenders actually know what they're doing. You can hold a real conversation without leaning across the table to hear each other.
If you want something closer to my side, The Otheroom in Venice is small, dim, wine and beer only, and quiet enough that you'll remember what the other person said. No dance floor, no bottle service nonsense. Just being realistic here, once you're past the club years those are the two I keep going back to.
Oh I feel this one. There's a stretch where you just want to sit across from someone and actually talk.
On the Westside I love The Roger Room in West Hollywood. It's tiny and a little hidden, dim lighting, proper cocktails, and the volume stays civilized so you're not screaming by 10pm. Great for a first date or catching up with a friend you haven't seen in ages.
If you're ever out my way, Chez Jay in Santa Monica is an old-school little dive that's been there forever. Peanut shells on the floor, real character, and you can absolutely hear each other. It's one of those spots that reminds me why I stayed on this side all these years.
I turn on my computer and connect to Discord. I know that doesn’t answer you question to the point you wanted it to be answered…
Nah, Arisu, it does. 
Really, I think you are an awesome dude. I do appreciate your input!
Arisu is the best. 
This is exactly my kind of question. For a proper conversation I love the bar at the Hotel Bel-Air, it's quiet, the drinks are beautifully done, and you never feel rushed. On the Westside the lounge at the Fairmont in Santa Monica is another lovely one, low music, real seating, the kind of place where you can actually talk for hours.
If you want something a touch more casual, the back patio at Élephante can be surprisingly civilized early in the evening before the crowd turns up.
