A night of retro revelry awaits in Hollywood’s neon-laced corridor.
First, you’ll worship at the wood-fired altar of 800 Degrees’ crispy crusts.
Then ascend a hidden staircase to find a dimly lit, velvet-draped speakeasy spinning sweet vinyl grooves.
Once sufficiently smoked in 70’s ambiance, head down the street and dance all night to throwbacks at Davey Wayne’s.
Grab a brick oven pizza at 800 Degrees
📍 1521 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90028
Sure, you could eat at any number of dollar-slice joints around town. But then you’d be depriving yourself of the glorious, blistery pies emerging from 800 Degrees’ raging hot oven straight from Naples. These crispy-bottomed numbers loaded with tangy sauce and molten cheese are pretty much inarguable proof that God wants us to be happy. Just be prepared to burn the roof of your mouth because restraint is for suckers.
Know Before You Go

Find the stairs to the hidden speakeasy inside, Sunset & Vinyl
📍 1521 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90028
You ascend the dimly lit staircase hidden at the back of the pizza shop, push through the velvet curtain, and emerge into a scene plucked straight from the 70s. Vinyl records spin languidly as the bartenders mix a rotating menu of bespoke cocktails. Nestle into a tufted velvet sofa or lean against the brass-trimmed bar, and lose track of time basking in the hazy glow of this speakeasy.

Dance the night away at Good Times at Davey Wayne’s
📍 1611 N El Centro Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028
This retro Hollywood speakeasy is an eccentric ode to the 70s – from the wood-paneled walls and porno ‘stached bartenders to the Airstream trailer in the “backyard.” But you’re not here for fancy trappings. You come to Davey Wayne’s for the beautiful mess that becomes the dance floor right around midnight.
Know Before You Go
✔ The line gets long very quickly.
✔ Aim to get there around 10pm to avoid the wait.
✔ Once you’re through the line, keep an eye out for the special “door” to get inside.
