No Vacancy

The entrance ritual to No Vacancy is one of the most elaborate in town. There are three doors. Only one is unlocked. In that room: a gorgeous woman and a bed. Within that context is the entrance to the bar (which we’ll keep hush-hush for the sake of suspense). The space, located within the now-defunct Juniper Hotel, is a love note to old Hollywood. And it’s appropriate, because the property is one of the oldest in Hollywood and once upon a time, doubled as a brothel. There’s a roster of celebrity bartenders (Jim Meehan, Julian Cox, Marcos Tello, among others) that rotates seasonally and killer cocktails with gin as a reoccurring theme.
