Bar Sinister

I appreciate everything about goth scenes but the smoking. It's disgusting. It's stupid. It's not conformist to say that, it's practical based on the fact that I DON'T WANT TO BREATHE ANY OF IT and smoking fools can never seem to realize that. If you want to socialize here, you can't without the constant smell of burning styrofoam on the back patio because it's too loud inside. This place would be a lot more fun if it wasn't for the heavy smoking in all of the outside spaces or some other space to reasonably escape too much noise from the DJ to talk over. BDSM stuff upstairs is legit but only gives enough space and time for people to taste 10min of the experience for the first time.

Was a little apprehensive because of the previous reviews but we didn’t experience any rude staff. Make sure you review the dress code which they enforce seriously, someone ahead of us was denied access for wearing white shoes. The price of drinks wasn’t bad, they do allow smoking in the live music area which was a huge negative for me because it’s hardly an outdoor area with little ventilation. Otherwise it was a cool vibe and had a great time!

I love it here. Always a good time. Love that they regularly have live music and they have a large outdoor patio so you can get plenty of air and smoke etc. If it is your first time just know that they are pretty serious about wearing black or at least looking goth ish. Don't wear blue jeans or white tennis shoes. If you dont know what to wear just stick to ALL black. THIS IS PARTLY A FETISH CLUB TYPE THING DO NOT COME IF YOU CANNOT ACT NORMAL AROUND PEOPLE IN THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT

One of the few clubs I’ve been to in Los Angeles. I’ve always had lots of fun coming here. Sometimes we’ve come we see people we know. You can smoke in the side room which is inside. The main room is where the bar is. Bartenders are quick to get your drinks. Dress code is strictly enforced which is all black. IDs are strictly enforced. Love this beautiful gothic club. DJ was playing good music

I've been coming here for 25 to 30 years and the owner, employees and other patrons are awesome people!

was having a good time until one of my friends accidentally left his phone in here and the staff wouldn’t return it or much less look for it or let us look for it ourselves even after the event was over. called people a ton of times and none of them helped us. told us to call JESSICA, did that and she got angry and told us she couldn’t help . if you wanna come here just know the staff is ain’t gonna help you with ish! it’s been almost a week and not one effort or news about the phone this is frustrating. a phone is needed for work for our daily lives. to speak to our parents and family. they treated it as no big deal and told us to come back the next day just to hear the same thing

This bar was pretty busy and very fun, especially for a Thursday night with no special events! I like the dynamic design of the bar, where crowd flow is controlled well. Everyone was also very friendly.
