another fantastic night at bar sinister, only one weirdo this time, most clubs have more than one weirdo. I always have a lot of fun at bar sinister when I go out with my friends, and there is much to enjoy. I saw a performer with a flaming sword. the music is always great and it looks like they got more speakers so it's even louder now, but I always wear earplugs, so for me it's like bathing in a sound ocean and hoping to disintegrate from the vibrations. much better than a Santa Monica club which is usually full of sociopaths and devils

It was really cool! They even played buck tick, which was a surprise since it was a japanese band.

Such a gorgeous place. Went to the Vampire Bazaar and had a blast. Vamp ball pre party last night. Fantastic. However, the smoking was out of control. Yoy could not get away from it. When finding a bit of a reprieve from it, you still couldn't get away from it because the smokers just can't put out their addiction and have to come into areas where the merchants were in the hall, stand there and smoke. I had to leave because of it. Wasting the $30 bucks for a one way uber, leaving my party, my cover fee and coat check fee. Money that could have been spent happily an another location that respects all patrons. The bar, which serves food, may have a patio, you would not recognize it as a patio as the top was covered (enclosed) and the smoke has no where to go but in the lungs of non smoking patrons. Thanks, Bar Sinister for turning your gorgeous venue into a nasty place to be. Never going back.

We had an unfortunate incident with one of your security guards Saturday night. We had planned to take our friend out for her birthday and we were waiting for them on our vehicle out front to arrive. The security guard who is the tallest one out of all of them told us we were denied entry. He claimed we were drinking on the street and it was illegal so he had to deny us entry. We had planned , arranged for baby sitters, arranged work so we can visit this "viral" place for her celebration. He said no ifs ands or butts will he be letting us in. This was absolutely ridiculous because we were not drinking at all. There was a group of girls in front of us with a buzz ball and he thought we were apart of the group. The 5 of us were left to return to our hour drive back home sad we did not get to experience this place. Our night was ruined and entry was denied to 5 people who were not drinking on the street illegally and just wanted to visit the known bar. I believe the staff should be trained properly on identifying the right people and not ruining an honest person's night. I am shocked at the way this was handled.

BEYOND DISAPPOINTED I was super excited to celebrate my birthday at this goth bar. Took a 40 min Uber, that was expensive but that's not the point. I walked out with an empty beatbox looking for a trash can to throw it away and the bouncer said he would not let us in because drinking on the sidewalk is illegal. Then he accused my friend of drinking who was absolutely not drinking. According to the Los Angeles municipal code sec. 41.27 it is illegal to posses an open container in public with the intent to drink it, however the beatbox was in fact empty and I was simply looking for a trash can. Seems like this establishments dialed 1-800 rent a cop to hire this particular bouncer. Below is the application to lapd since this man wants to enforce the law so bad. Sad and unfortunate didn't even get the chance to enjoy my birthday night,

i absolutely love the aesthetic of this place, and the music is great too. i've had some great memories of dancing here. however, i recently was pickpocketed on the dance floor, and the staff was very unhelpful. the woman working at the door was very nice, and gave me the number for the lost and found. but the security and bartenders were extremely rude, and made it seem like it was my fault. my bag was unzipped while i was wearing it and someone stole my phone and my wallet, i guess i could've been more careful, but the staff could've been more empathic about the incident. the bartender i told first literally just shrugged at me. the security guard i told said "we warn you about that at the door, it happens a lot here." i've been probably 5 or 6 times, and have never been warned about that before. i did have my backpack closed. somebody intentionally unzipped it.

I went on a Monday for my 21st birthday and immediately one of the bouncers accused me of not being 21 even after showing a valid ID. Another bouncer allowed me in anyways. Within 20 minutes of being there I see him escorting my friend out and me and her boyfriend are trying to find out what the issue was and the bouncer starts pushing and cussing out my friends boyfriend, throwing up gang signs, and threatening him. My friend told me it's okay to stay and dance a little longer with my other friends so i tried to stick it out until they started harassing my other friend for "appearing" drunk. They asked for my ID again and then the same bouncer kicks me out accusing me of using my ID for someone else under age. Overall the whole night we were being harassed constantly by egotistical bouncers who need to be fired.

I have been going here for a long time and it is always so FUN! It is my favorite Goth Club! They have hand crafted items for sale at the entrance and they have 3 areas to hang out in.They have the outdoor area which is covered by a big tent canopy, so you can smoke and watch the live bands or shows.Then they have a dance area with gogo dancers and multiple DJ's that rotate throughout the night.Then they have an upstairs area to either watch or volunteer for BDSM play!There are 3 bars with fast service, they always put water out for you to drink and allow patrons to stay indoors long after 2am!My only complaint as is with ALL of the bars in Hollywood, not enough toilets to go around lol. I wish they had just one more restroom area.

Was looking for a goth club while my visit over to LA and stumbled upon this bar. I loved the vibe and overall atmosphere and music. I did not come across any issues with the bouncers or guards they were doing their job so is understandable if they acted a little aggressive when they were trying to get across the dance floor in front of the bar. It's aight

Bar Sinister was an interesting place- I was told of this bar pre-pandemic because it caters to the alternative lifestyle I was excited to finally try it immediately I was questioned by the security guard who was checking IDs "are you sure you're in the right place?" I responded "Im wearing all black aren't I" they have a dress code they except all to adhere to - either goth attire or all black is preferred, however I saw some people inside not wearing anything that fit those two criteria - mainly some anime chick in all pink lingerie/bdsm harnesses (fine whatever it is a bdsm bar) This bar was large, comprised of 3 sections the first was the patio, which offered a bar, a stage, and an outside area to smoke and mingle with others the inside was another bar, dancers, a dance floor, minimal lounge seating and my favorite part of bar sinister the photo booth upstairs was small, offered a bar area, some seating, and BDSM preview interesting bar and concept im in the scene but it all felt like a lot of the people there were cosplaying as extras in buffy the vampire slayer, otherwise it looked like the regulars there were having a blast also super fun to spot the normies who were hella uncomfy
