by supershag on May.04, 2012, under Beer, Champagne, Cocktails, Happening, Los Angeles, Music, Parking/Valet, Restaurants, Swanky, Wine
The Spare Room is an exclusive small bar located within the fabled Hotel Roosevelt in West Hollywood.
This unique bar features 2 bowling lanes which actually seem to blend in with the very swanky decor.
The main feature of the bar are the cocktails.
This was the drink of choice Amoxycillin. Not for faint hearted.
Of course if cocktail are not your thing they do have Chimay.
This really is a very cool place with one of the coolest soundtracks that I have heard in a while. Reservations are needed after 9pm.

Hakkasan
by supershag on May.04, 2012, under Beer, Champagne, Chicken, Free Wi-Fi, Happening, LONDON, Parking/Valet, Restaurants, Steak, Swanky, Vegan, Wine
Hanway Place houses the original Hakkasan in London.
Situated just off Oxford Street do not let the slightly dodgey surroundings put you off . When you enter this underground restaurant you will be whisked away to a totally different world.
The restaurtant serves modern Chinese
Cuisine and has a Michelin star. I have no idea what the following photos are but can testify that it was all delicious.
The atmosphere is very cool even though it is supposed to be an old style setting.
This place is not cheap but definitely worth a visit.
