Party Earth Review: Tucked away on a quiet shopping section of Fairfax Boulevard, The Dime is a refreshing, hassle-free alternative to Hollywood’s velvet rope scene that continues to attract a loyal clientele year after year. With movie-producer/actor owners, it’s no wonder this venue started out as a celebrity hangout – bartender Stacie even became a prominent character on MTV’s The Hills, so naturally The Dime made several cameo appearances as well. Despite this moment of fame, however, getting in the door is easy enough as long as the bar hasn’t reached capacity – this place is tiny, which is just fine by the hip and friendly crowd of entertainment industry folk and young professionals who flock in for some elbow-to-elbow flirting with the other attractive patrons. Dim lighting and smoky mirrors add to the amorous vibe, while backlit black-and-white photos of the neighborhood add some contrast to the otherwise crimson décor of velvet drapes and plush banquettes. Stylish patrons in the mood for a relaxing night among friends tend to lounge on the sofas, while those more interested in making eyes will want to nab one of the velvet stools at the bar in the back. Hollywood connections aside, The Dime is an inclusive and welcoming venue that has become a consistent haunt for an outgoing, approachable crowd.

Tip from Emma:

“Definitely show up before 9pm to catch the great drink specials – you really can’t beat $3 beers and $4 mixed drinks!”
