Society Room

If you’ve driven down Santa Monica Blvd. in Weho lately, you’ve probably noticed a massive new restaurant surrounded by a swarm of people. That’s Conservatory, a complete mess of a place that we hope you’ll never have to eat at. That said, there’s a hidden speakeasy in the back called Society Room that’s actually great. The well-made cocktails are completely different than the terrible ones served at Conservatory, and the tiny room looks like a membership-only hotel bar from the 1940s. If you stick around long enough (but not too long because they close at midnight on weekends), one of the bartenders might even give you a tarot card reading.
