Vampire Lounge & Tasting Room

I met up with a friend here on a weeknight. This place is cozy and quaint. There are a couple of outdoor seats, and an upstairs area with sofas. The sofa area is pretty small though so unless you're up there alone there's not much privacy.
the wines are good, maybe a bit pricey, but I'm no connoisseur so it may just be lost on me. there is no food. only street parking, but it's pretty easy around the area at night since not many other restaurants/bars nearby.

This place is haunted.  Just kidding.  Seriously, this is a legit little lounge located in Beverly Hills near Century City.  I came here in a group of six on Saturday night.  I was a little worried given the location, size, and fact that they weren't very busy.  But this made street parking super easy and the size definitely gave the Vampire Lounge its own charm.

My friends and I basically got the whole upstairs loft area to ourselves.  Despite its name, the place is actually furnished more like the library room from the boardgame Clue.  It's kind of dark but also feels a little homey.  This is one of those places where you go with your friends and just chill.  No need for the pretentiousness that LA can sometimes be all about.  Apparently Vampire Lounge has its own vineyards that make all kinds of wine.  My friends and I ordered a bottle of pinot noir and shared it.  It was rich, kind of fruity but also still had the classic features of a red.  (I actually know very little about wine, so I hope this was convincing.)  Prices aren't too steep either.  

Service:  Our server was great, too.  He came by to check on us now and then, guided us to finding the perfect bottle, and even was a decent conversationalist, telling us some stories based on the theme of the restaurant.  

Bottom line:  I had a great time at the Vampire Bar.  It's not haunted, it's not scary, it's actually quite pleasant!

Great advice on what to drink; great wine as well. Nice upstairs sitting area. It is a bit pricey, but it was worth it.

No food though, so make sure it's a place you visit after you've already had dinner.

Parking is street only.
