Aback from the frantic nightlife scene of Hollywood Boulevard, Warwick comes to live from LA nightlife mavens known for charming, intimate cocktail spaces. The Warwick is no exception, even with its impressive size that impress on first entrance to a lofty factory-inspired space of exposed brick walls, concrete floors and black iron windows. Long, chocolate leather couches stride the central space with elevated lounge areas on either side that lead to the main bar with its dapper mixologists that tout farmer's market ingredients. Upstairs, a secondary VIP lounge inverts the main floor color palette with all-white décor including the rafter ceiling and oversize gas fireplace that roars year-round.
Tips
A chicer crowd than several nearby clubs, Warwick manages to attract a crowd typical of The Roger Room - the other bar its owners operate.
Last Word
Despite its impressive size, Warwick feels more like an intimate lounge bar replete with early-evening cocktail scene that starts earlier than most Hollywood clubs.
