Sunset Strip revival



Remember Sunset Beach, the SoCal-themed restaurant and club inside the old Dublin's space on Sunset Boulevard? No? That's OK because it never really took off—despite its prime location—because the owners (Steve Marlton from Sugar and James Castro) couldn't agree on anything and were quite vocal about it to the press. Anyway, the venue's back, only it's been reborn into The Beach. I hung out there with Steve on Saturday and I can tell you this: You will not leave here with the ability to walk a straight line or touch your finger to your nose. (Click in to see photos of drinks that are larger than your head!)

For now The Beach is in "soft opening" phase. The grand opening goes down on August 22 with Steve Aoki--and possibly DJ AM--on the decks.
