Keenly modeled after a turn-of-the-century Parisian absinthe parlor, Holly’s is named after everyone’s favorite mistress – Hollywood, sprinkling fresh fairy dust onto L.A.’s pulsing nightlife.  This intimate nightclub embodies the spirited liquor’s emerald righteousness.

The DJ booth is in the center of the room, serenading guests with sonic beats.  Surrounded by such intoxicating imagery, it’s easy to feel the hallucinogenic effects of a night at Holly’s.  With a capacity barely over 100 guests, Holly’s is one of the toughest doors in town.  Much like Kylie Minogue’s playful portrayal of the Green Fairy in Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge, this fun-fueled club can leave a massive memory burn on its willing guests.


Serving up “all of the Hollywood know-how and none of the attitude,” Holly’s West is the stylish sister of the original Holly’s in Hollywood.  Designed as an intimate, upscale, sexy lounge, Holly’s West offers cool libations and a small plates menu featuring Tuscan pizza, rock shrimp calamari fritto misto and gourmet mac ‘n’ cheese.

Soft lighting illuminates the sprawling red suede sofas, ottomans, and black granite bar, all accented with a Venetian flair.  A central DJ booth houses a changing roster of DJs spinning groove, house, funk, jazz, and eclectic lounge sounds that    encourage guests to spill onto the dance floor.   The fresh vibe at Holly’s West is designed to appeal to the more laid back Santa Monica and Westside crowd that doesn’t want to have to drive across town to find a hip, happening hotspot.
