Green Door, Los Angeles

Named for a 1960s Bob Davie song about a nondescript building that serves as a pleasure hideaway, the Green Door couldn’t be more aptly described. Green velvet curtains tied back with heavy gold ropes drape over every archway, leading the way to two large bars.  Sophisticated antique décor is as stylish as the well-dressed crowd who sway to ambience-setting, moody music. DJs spin more popular hip-hop tracks as the crowd thickens as the evening progresses, but a restricted guest list means that you’ll never have to get too close to that lecherous stranger on the dance floor.  Dinner reservations are highly recommended, assuming you can get one.
