VALLEY HANGOUTS

Towards the east end of the main thoroughfare of the South Valley called Ventura Blvd, (also know to Valley residents as The Boulevard) lies hip-happening bars. If you’re looking to have a good time on a Friday or Saturday night, but don’t want to make the trek over the hill to Weho or drive through the Cahuenga Pass through Hollywood, CLEAR in Studio City maybe a great alternative to the long wait lines and expensive drinks and not-so-awesome service that WEHO and H-WOOD offer.

CLEAR is perfect for the party goer looking to sip on a Cosmo or Dirty Martini while satisfying the urge to shake the bootay. There is a DJ propped up in a corner booth showcased by a clear window spinning top 40 and a bit of old school 90’s rap, hip-hop and r&b. Booths are spacious and decor is ultra-modern. The cozy interior can get a bit pack during peak hours (11PM-1AM), but have no fear, there is a spacious outdoor patio provides a zen-like ambiance complete with bamboo gardens and large outdoor beds that allow for relaxation after you’ve had too many cocktails.

CLEAR is located at 11916 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City. You can check them out on their website at http://www.clearlounge.net/ and on their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/clearlounge
