EIGHT-18 WINE BAR

If you are like me and love to taste wine and eat tapas-style then you will love Toluca Lake's Eight-18 Wine Bar.  You can choose from over 40 or so wines and order a selection of cheese from the cheese bar (my favorite!)  They have a great Pinot Noir Champagne that I've never seen served anywhere else and it is Soooo delicious!  I also love their Mini Kobe Burgers and the Short Ribs that fall of the bone.  The place is packed every night with young locals.  They have live Latin music on Wednesdays and Thursdays and a DJ on Friday and Saturday nights.  If you like to be where the action is then make sure to sit in the front room where the music is.  If you want a little more quiet or privacy they have a back room and a patio.  This place is great for both a singles-night out or for a fun date-night.  I hit this spot up all the time and I always leave with a full belly and a smile!  Make a reservation if you can (and request the front room)...

VICE

The former Star Shoes, VICE is a hot new lounge that fits 200 people in a intimate and sexy setting.  My favorite night is on Tuesdays when the DJ plays 80's & 90's rock all night long!!! Hip crowd but not overly pretentious, I love hanging out here…

CRIMSON

David Judaken (owner of Garden of Eden and Mood) has created yet another Hollywood Uber-Hot Spot in CRIMSON.  Attached to his extremely hip club OPERA, Crimson is more intimate and VERY sexy.  Young hollywood loves this spot, especially on Friday nights when you will often spot the stars of "The Hills" dancing away with all of the other beautiful patrons... (and my girlfriends and me as well, I love this place!!!)  Reserve a table (and be prepared to spend some $$) if you want to be sure to get in.  Otherwise, get there early and dress your best!!  It's worth it..
