An evening walk from the Pantages Theatre into hidden speakeasies and rooftop bars, the Hollywood Speakeasy Bar Tour blends classic movie-era history with modern nightlife. Expect three hours of short bar stops, tapas-style tasting dishes, and skyline views from the Hollywood Sign to downtown LA.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The city lights of Hollywood collect like a scatter of film reels as you meet beneath the marquee of the Pantages Theatre. Evening air carries the smell of street food and the faint echo of applause; a guide in hand, the group slips into the Frolic Room and into a corner of the 1930s where actors once lingered. From a rooftop you tilt your head and take in a skyline that runs from the white letters of the Hollywood Sign down the ridgeline into the glass towers of DTLA.
