Teddy's, Los Angeles

The bar for club exclusivity went up a notch after the opening of this boutique bar in the legendary Thompson-Hotel-owned Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, but since power promoters from Alliance have jumped in the fray, the elite lounge has become accessible to John and Jane Doe (provided they’re connected to a A- through C-lister, of course).  The tiny space is accented with oversized, comfortable furniture and a forgiving, soft-focus lighting scheme that ensures that everyone is as gorgeous as their neighbor.  What’s as impressive as the mile-long list of celebrity clientele? The lounge maintains over two hundred varieties of wine in its cellar and boasts a specialized cognac room.
