Dirty Laundry

Top choice in Hollywood


Under a cotton-candy-pink apartment block of no particular import is this funky den of musty odor, low ceilings, exposed pipes and good times. There's fine whiskey and funkalicious tunes on the turntables. Alas, there are also velvet-rope politics at work here, so reserve a table to make sure you slip through.
