We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.
The official scoop: Skybar's getting a sister!
Can't get into the exclusive Skybar? You'll no longer need to leave the Mondrian with your tail between your legs. The Sunset Strip hotel has transformed its lobby lounge into Koka, a chic destination unto itself. Sure, it will welcome any and all through its doors, but you’ll hardly feel like a reject here. Gone is the long lone table next to the concierge that the Mondrian folks called the “lobby bar.” I’m told it’s been completely redone in shades of orange and white, complete with plush couches, low tables, sheer orange curtains, lanterns and claw-footed stools.
Speaking of claws: Cat Power has signed on to perform at the opening party on Thursday, September 4. Doors open to the public officially the following evening. Until then, might I suggest occupying yourself with a box of creamsicles?
UPDATE: This just in. The Mondrian folks have changed the bar's name from Koka Lounge to ADCB, which stands for Asia de Cuba Bar.
