Hyde Lounge

Hyde Lounge A chic, intimate hideaway for seriously in-the-know Angelenos, Hyde Lounge debuted in April 2006 in the heart of Sunset Boulevard. Offering a sophisticated, sexy ambiance, the true luxury of Hyde is in the details - from the lush, modernist décor to the attentive service to the exquisite and subtle flavors in the signature cocktails and menu of "small plates" created by renowned chef Katsuya Uechi. The lounge is intimate by design, accommodating only up to 100 to preserve a relaxed, 'insider' atmosphere. Hyde's décor has a decidedly masculine vibe -- lush leather and crocodile upholstery throughout; massive, hand-crafted wood tables; a vaulted copper ceiling; flickering candles suspended from the walls, and tones of taupe, amber and onyx. Open nightly from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m., a rotating roster of DJs spins nightly, focusing on rock music.
