Station Hollywood

This is a cute trendy spot. Not too bougie or high maintenance. The drinks are a great size and good prices. The service was very friendly. We reserved a table for about ten people which was ready by the time we got there. The server was great about accommodating our Birthday cupcakes we brought for a friend. They offered to put them in the fridge in the back. I was super happy with all aspects of this place. Food was yummy, pricing was good, bathrooms were clean (and there were a lot of them), music selection kept me happy all night. ONE COMPLAINT, and this is hotel pricing so I can t even complain too much… between valet and tip… 30 bucks… YUP.
I would suggest this place if you wanted to do a cute kind of romantic place for a date that isn’t toooooo muchhhhh, or a cool girls night. Ladies, jeans and heels, or a dress, this place is pretty flexible.
ANNNDDDDD we saw Anderson Cooper!!! #WINNING

Just had the best experience ever, thanks to Jordan the bartender! Great service, & he made the most delicious cocktail I’ve had in a LONG time! Ordered the ‘Spark my Nature’ cocktail & had him make it with mezcal & a salted rim. AMAZING! Will definitely be back to this place soon!

Was here last night for a birthday party! They were very accommodating to our party because we had more guests showing up than reserved for, so they were able to move us to a better/​bigger area. The crowd is definitely more trendy and i liked that. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side 14 – 16 on average. I unfortunately did not get to take pictures of anything i was having wayy too much fun. We also had fries and they were delicious!!!

This lounge area is inside W Hotel in Hollywood. Love the decorations and the furniture they chose. Very chic and modern. There are two big community tables with charging stations! Yes~ charging stations for your electronics!!! How thoughtful is that!
Nice patio seating area with fire pits. Great place to hang out.
The Service: Wonderful! Very attentive. Excellent customer service.
The Food:
ORGANIC KALE SALAD — Crisp Pita, Jalapeño, Soledad Farm Goat Milk Feta,
Creamy Citrus Dressing. They overcooked the kale salad, no more crunchy texture. Overdressing too so the pita is no longer crisp. Love it when they add the jalapeño, a little kick.
SWEET POTATO FRIES — Chipotle Maple Dipping Sauce. The chipotle map dipping sauce is so unique. Sweet & a little bit spicy. It is nice to have different option other than ketchup. Big portion, perfect to share.
The Parking: valet parking or street metered parking or parking lot across street ($ 10)

I had a light bite there and it was nice. Garlic shrimp and spicy sausage was cooked well and service was great. The leather sofa is too stiff though.

Went here Friday night for a friends birthday party. Love that we can take advantage the gorgeous LA nights by hanging out at the patio all night. Good music by the dj, while there was no dancing, there were a lot of people bopping their heads to the beat.
There seemed to me an art show while we were there but I didn’t venture to check it out. I was too busy catching up with my friends and people watching.
I wasn’t thrilled that the people next to us were smoking. Not sure if that’s allowed but no one seemed to be regulating them.
Another thing that was annoying was that it took us nearly 40 minutes to get an order of sweet potato fries, we had to hunt down the waitress to see what was going on. Note the fries are served with a maple syrup-​esque dip, not ketchup. We were split on how we felt about the dipt but we moved on because we were just happy that we actually got the fries.

Came here to check out Jazz night on Sunday nights. I actually have perviously been here for NYE 2013, and that was crackin. But Sunday Night Jazz is definitely worth the venture to check out. The band at the time was doing covers to Maxwell and Stevie Wonder. If you do not know me, that sh^t gets me amped! I love old school slash real music. If there are any promoters who read this I would love to get bottle service for my birthday here. Oh and there is no cover Sunday Night!

This place is EXTRA!!! and it wreaks of people trying to hard.

This is a great place to chill and have a drink by the firepits. Hit Station for Happy Hour before hitting the train at Hollywood and Vine.
There are plenty of places to sit, good drinks, friendly bartenders and lots of «scenery» to watch. There is always something going on here and you never know who will spot. They had a huge party for Out Magazine a couple days ago and there was lots of great music and fun to be had.
If you are staying in the hotel, you can pop down for a nice cocktail in the cool LA air before heading to your room or stick around for a night cap and listen to some of the live music in the living room. Either way, it is a cool place to hang.
The drinks are expensive so it is not an everyday spot for me.

Pretty adorable little spot, if you come when it’s not jam packed… the vibe is really nice during the week without the weekend party peeps. The atmosphere is great, a bit over priced, but still worth it… Really enjoy having a cocktail and apps here.
;-))

the lounge inside the W Hollywood Hotel… great place to come chill during the week nights… the outdoor patio is relaxing if the weather is nice… comfortable seating… it gets really busy during the weekends
dont feel like staying home on a sunday night? not ready to call it a night yet??? well every sunday theres a jazz event w/​burlesque dancers… gone to it a few times and it gets super packed… always a good performance!!!
the drinks are average hollywood prices. they have a few specialties, the summertime lemonade is refreshing… cucumber cooler its actually pretty strong… my friend really liked the gimlets.

Went here on a Friday night for friend’s birthday and the place had a surprisingly low key vibe despite it being in the middle of Hollywood Blvd. AND being outside. The music was chill with the DJ spinning mostly hip hop and some house with videos accompanying it on the giant projector. Station never got as crowded as The Living Room which was nice as our large group was able to snag a large day bed type seating area for the whole night; although it probably gets more action during the summer. Drink prices were reasonable and definitely on the stronger side!
Overall, trendy and chic but casual enough to just hang out and have good drinks with friends. I wish I could rate it with 3.5 stars.

I came for an event and great excuse to check this place out since I always wanted to stop by. Well lets just say it’s finally out of my system.
The hotel is very nice and chic, it has a nice view of the city around you. I love that they have a gorgeous red carpet staircase that takes you up to the private halls and rooms and you get a nice view to scope the crowd and the place out. They have a comfy internet room in the second floor and if your lucky enough to check it out they also have a roof garden.
Back to the patio area, where the Station outdoor lounge is located, they have a full bar, comfy seats and two great fire pits to keep you warm.
The staff was nice for the most part, but lets just say we bumped into one pretentious bartender that seemed overwhelmed or something and I don’t understand why since they had just opened up.
The place is pricey but dang! we ordered a couple appetizers and lets just say we payed to have that chicken flown in first class to make it to our plate in four chicken strip pieces! GEEZ! Too much for what it was. The drinks are the price you would expect at this place and i’m glad at least that didn’t dissapoint.
Trust me on this one, Its worth getting valet. It’s $ 20 bucks but a small tip: validate! and you end up paying only a juicy $ 7 with the money left over for a couple drinks somewhere else. (You validate in the bar before exiting –I share beacause I care ;).
Try it for your self and enjoy!

Stopped by here for drinks before a show at the Pantages. Such a cute area with delicious (Albeit expensive) drinks.
My friend and i ordered:
Mixed berry mohito: Exactly how you would imagine a mixed berry mohito to be. Minty, fizzy, and full of fresh berry flavor. This drink isn’t on the menu, but it’s delicious.
One of the drinks with bourbon in it (ahh i forgot the name, but it had raspberries in it too!) — super strong and delicious. The berries added a nice layer of sweetness to the drink.
The drinks are a little steep (at $ 15 a pop) but the service and ambience are good.
Perfect place to stop by if you get to the theatre early and don’t want to wait around in your seat!

Celebrated my birthday party here last weekend. The venue is beautiful and the Saturday night scene is lively.
The vibe is Hollywood trendy and the drinks are pricey. We reserved a table via Erika A. their Events Hostess. She was very nice on the phone and made sure she placed us right in the center of all the action.
Our initial server, Casey, was nice too. She took care of us and handled our bill dispute with class. We were given the price we wanted on one of the bottles we ordered.
All in all, I can’t complain about the venue or the service here. If you make it rain, then you will be treated with excellent customer service. The old adage goes… you get what you pay for.

Open air bar located inside the W Hollywood hotel and right behind the entrance to the Metro Station on Hollywood Blvd. (Hence the name). Nice couches and lounging areas surround the space and there is a huge projector displaying sports on one of their walls. The drinks are yummy, but Hollywood priced as expected; and Delphine Restaurant is right next door.
Overall, trendy but casual enough to just hang out and have a good cocktail.

The Station is an open-​air bar ensconced in the vibe of ‘luxe’.
Flaming centerpieces attract socialites to wicker lounge chairs topped with cozy, thick pillows as a live dj spins techno grooves.
The scene is highlighted by a mega screen that loops images or plays movies in the b.g. (Monday, I’m told, is typically ‘movie night’, just not on the 4^th of July.)
But while the TV tempts the eye, nothing meets the fancy more than the beautiful people, flanked over the chairs. Besides the W’s guests, only the rich and/​or gorgeous get past the hotel’s velvet ropes.
As money is expected to be no object for you, drinks are so weak that you’d have to advertise yourself as a super lush to get ‘crunked’. Four Long Islands later, you can still do your catwalk without falter, and you might even get the frustrating itch to scratch at the absurdly priced in-​room mini-​bar.
The Station’s waitresses and bartenders possess a bit of snoot as expected (though snot is *never ever* welcome.) Once the down-​lookers find out you’re a guest, however, their tones change from «wtf-​do-​you-​want» to ‘OMG’-bouncy. The contrast teeters on acrimony, but just to feel ‘accepted’ amongst the W-​IN-​crowd…
Priceless. No – PRICEY but peerless.
And cool???
Maybe–
Just FYI: I got to see the pillow cushions during daylight.
Yikes! I’ll sum it up with the word «grimy».
Ladies w/​cute skirts or dresses: Beware.
You may be nesting your tush atop bird dung. Chirp!

Atmosphere: Nice lounge area.
Service: Super slow bar tenders.
Food: The drinks were amateur-​ishly made.
Price: Expensive for a pretty sucky drink.
Would I go back? Nah.

Like this thick buffalo asian dude shouted from the mountain tops of the W valet drive way, «FUCK YOU!»
This must have been your first time doing an NYE event, because this shit was a super hot mess! My date bought the tickets online almost a month in advance (100 bucks all you can drank.) That didn’t mean shit because everyone can afford 100 bucks and that night it seemed like yuppie 21 yrs were all over that. Im only 27 and I felt like a olé bitch around these tweens! My date is in his 40s so thank god for a man thats open to doing whatever the hell I want to do and being comfortable doing it.
Ok so we get there around 10 or so and you can’t tell which line is what, it was bad. So get this the line was insane just to get the neon wrist band. Im thinking will we even get in this place by midnight. I truly wasn’t looking like we would. So these yuppie kids were selling their wristbands two for a hundred bucks. Everyone was so skeptical of this but my date asked if I wanted to do it, so I said fuck it, I have nothing to lose at this point so fuck it LOL
We get up to the part where were TRYING to get in. Security had no fuckin game plan on how to have ropes or any form of barricade to get people in one standard uniform line!!! They were baffled, it was nuts. Then they had the nerve to have the fire marshall stand there, trying to tell us were not letting more people in. Yea right mister, he tried strong arming us, that fuck knew damn well he didn’t want to be there as much as we didn’t want him there. I love my fire men but fire marshalls have theeee biggest sticks up their ass. Finally we get in after 30 minutes of bull. Go to the bar and WTF its a paying bar, um we all paid for the same thing, why is there a bar with a fee!!! The free booze is in the courtyard under one of this huge wedding type tents. Oh and get this the champagne was also not free. Um so what am I getting for 100 bucks. My date the trooper that he is yet again, got us tons of shots and vodka and cranberries lol The upstairs had no umph just a bunch of highschool looking kids socializing and ultra bright bathrooms. Oh and there was no where to sit, unless you had bottle service. This lead to me standing 3 plus hrs and I literally feel like I have a broken toe!!!
There was barely a loud countdown, it came and gone LOL Only good that came from that evening was the Shakira look alike I befriended and the bartender giving us double shots instead of being lame and giving us dribbles.
Seriously W please don’t ever hold this event EVER AGAIN OK!!!

3.5 from me…
Came here on a Saturday night… got here pretty early. 9ish. So we were able to snag a table and part of a couch. A line did start to form around 10ish but didn’t last very long.
WARNING: those bed type couches sit pretty low. I had to stand a few times to stretch my legs out… and I ain’t even 5 feet tall! Ha. The place is nice though. I love the fireplace and lil heaters to keep you warm on those chilly nights. Anyhow…
I like this place! The best way for me to describe it was, Hollywood… but not! There’s some good looking people (especially one of the security guards. Next to the gate by Drai’s. Hey hey hey! Hahhah). But not a typical Hollywood hot spot where all the patrons are über hot…
DJ was spinning some hip hop from the 90s– my fav! There were people dressed up to some in chucks and denim shorts. No one was really dancing… there really isn’t any place to either. My friends and I were grooving while sitting though.
Drinks weren’t bad… $ 8 for a glass of Cab was pretty good. Prices do go up… specialty cocktails were $ 11 – 14 but I thought $ 8 was good compared to the $ 13 for the cheapest glass at the Viceroy.
Count me in again… especially during summertime!
