R Bar, Los Angeles

This bar and lounge in Koreatown is off the beaten path, but offers you a rare opportunity to fulfill what has undoubtedly been a dream of yours since the first time you saw The Wizard of Oz. Walk up to a big wooden door, knock loudly and have a tiny window slide back so that someone inside can prompt you for a password. Once you rattle off the word or phrase (you can get it on their MySpace), you'll be inside a lounge with deep corner booths and a raucous population of young Hollywood types who were also cool enough to get in.
