Double H Sports Bar

If you're coming here for dance lessons or dancing, it's a great place to come as there are multiple rooms, great dance floor, and large. It also gets packed.

However, as a bar it leaves a lot to be desired. The bartenders don't necessarily follow directions as to how I want my drinks made, they have a very limited liquor selection despite being a large bar, and the service is a little on the slow side. Plus, some of the hotel guests or bar patrons are creepsters. There was a drunk guy seated at the bar who touched my back repeatedly and then the hair and back of a female friend that arrived later.

As a sports bar, yeah there are multiple TVs but they are not large screens or even particularly good ones. No more than 2 games on at any given time.

It's chill~ it's super empty at lunch time but I like it because I can just come here, have a drink and relax!  The bartender is super chill he gave me more than a glass~ woot! I think they serve food here too... I just hope it's not from Carrasco's next door!

The Double H Sports bar is located inside the Hacienda Hotel on El Segundo Blvd. just South of LAX.  I've been coming here for years, my first time was summer of 2003, to West Coast Swing dance on Thursday nights.  I live in Bakersfield, a mere two hours North over the Grapevine and down into the Central Valley, so it's quite a drive -  especially since I have to be at work early on Friday mornings - but it is WELL WORTH the drive.

There are three large dance floors with a wonderful finish for dancing all night without making my knees ache as some bar floors do.  Thursday night is West Coast Swing night, though I've heard they have Bachata on Mondays and Salsa on another night.  There is no cover charge, the music is fabulous (every song is danceable) and they validate your parking so that you get the first 3 hours FREE!  How could you beat this?  It's pretty hard, I tell you.  

So you say you don't dance?  That's okay, Doug Endo teaches swing dance lessons before the social dancing starts on Thursdays.  The first Saturday of every month is usually a West Coast Swing dance night also, with Phil Adams - a nationally known champion swing dance instructor - teaching classes in West Coast Swing, Country Two Step, and Nightclub Two Step followed by an evening of social dancing.  You can get more info about Phil's classes and dance at

There are dancers of every level there from rank beginner to nationally ranked champions and everyone is so down to Earth that they will dance with anyone who asks them. It's a very laid back atmosphere.

If you'd prefer to just watch, that's okay too.  Pull up a low slung leather chair and enjoy the dim lighting and the waitresses in white tuxedo blouses and black miniskirts looking like they walked right out of the 60's will be happy to serve you a couple of drinks.  WIth no parking fee and no cover charge you can afford to throw a few back while you enjoy the ambiance.

Who knows, maybe you'll discover your inner dancer.
