The Spare Room - Los Angeles, California

Now this is the kind of place where it’s a blend of rocking and silent evening. Superb place. Superb staff. Every staff was humble and really knowledgeable. Liked the way the place has a old touch yet modern vibes. Will visit again. If you are in LA then it’s a must visit. Only FEEDBACK or my dissatisfaction would be the website does not have any SSL and the booking through the website redirects to emails. While booking there goes a lot of email exchange back and forth and then I have to share my card number on email. Which I think is not safe. Such a great place should have a good website and you can block reservations through card using the website and should show the slots available.

This is by far one of my favorite new bars. My bartender was Yael and she was amazing. The drinks she made were really tasty and she is very creative.

She made us a bowl for our party with rum and passionfruit and was delicious and loaded. Highly recommended and ask for this famous bartender, she will hook you up!!!

We will be back soon for more yummy drinks and good mix of old school hip hop and classics.

One of my new favorite spots in LA, especially in the area. HIGHLY recommend getting a reservation for a bowling lane if/when you go.
There are only two lanes and we were lucky that there was a no-show when we went, so we were able to snag the open lane for the remaining 45 mins of the missed reservation.
The lanes have an attendant and scorekeeper that manually keeps track on the chalkboard too, which is a unique twist to keep the old school vibes

Canceled my reservation with no notice. I drove into LA and planned my night around this and completely blindsided by this. Host was not accommodating and had no alternative solution. Would not recommend.

One of The Best Craft Cocktail Joints in LA. Somewhat hidden in the historic Roosevelt Hotel is a brilliant bar that has a vintage bowling alley. The mixologists there are excellent and the leggy wait staff are gorgeous. It's best to get there early. 1) So you can get a decent seat. 2) Before they turn up the music to an obnoxious level. Having said that, you'll be hard pressed to get a better drink in the city of the angels.

BIG NOTE: You cannot just use the bowling alley in here, you have to reserve it ahead of time AND it is 21 and over only.
The wait staff are fantastic, 9/10.
The music they play is okay, but not only is it loud, it is BLASTING. They turned it up at one point, so it got even worse. I'd asked them to lower it, because my friend was visiting from very far away, and we wanted to hang out, drink, and chat. They did not lower it. We had to scream at each other while sitting directly beside one another.

If you get lost, let me guide you, because it can be hard to find. The easiest way to get there from the valet area, is to go under the stairs with water near it (pictured here). Go straight down the hallway about 15 feet, until you see elevators on your left. Take the elevator up to the "M" floor. Turn right as you exit the elevators, and it is immediately on your right up a couple of tiny stairs.

Awesome place to get specialty drinks and bowl late night. We found it easily in the Roosevelt Hotel and had a great server that helped us get drinks and set up bowling. There are a lot of board games to play as well there, so paying the $100 to bowl for an hour isn't necessary. They had live music the first time I went here, and it was fantastic.

Just had an amazing 40th birthday celebration here and can't recommend it highly enough. We priced out a ton of venues, particularly in Los Feliz/Silver Lake where we live, and Spare Room was hands down the best option and worth the 'schlep' from our side of town. Great cocktails, stellar pre-order food options (you can order there but for bigger groups it's worth pre-ordering), the bowling was a super fun activity to keep people entertained, and all of the servers were very attentive and friendly. Whether you're looking to host a party or just a fun night out with friends, Spare Room should be on your short list for sure. Also the hidden photo-booth! Always a sucker for fun details like that.
