Verified Reviews of Private Bars in Los Angeles, CA
John and Jessica were fantastic to work with, made things super simple to plan! Space was great, exactly what we needed. 10/10 would recommend!
I love Saint Felix. The Venue itself is absolutely beautiful. the intricacies of the decor have a classy, tasteful modern vibe that you can relax in. They have multiple areas that you can use based on your event needs, with different sized private rooms and an outdoor patio with side access. All of the staff were absolutely stellar, John in particular was amazing, he was really flexible as we figured out how many guests we would have and had so many options available for drink vs food. They had options for bar credit or even using drink tickets. We had an album release party so we used the projector for visuals and had our own spotify playlist and music over the equipment which had amazing sound quality. Christian handled our AV needs like a pro and was so easy to work with. The manager and bartender on the night accomodated us for everything we needed. The drinks were spectacularly presented. The whole venue was spotless and well maintained. Truthfully I will not hesitate to bring all of my events here again.
5 stars for St Felix! It was the perfect place to throw my 30th birthday bash. The space was exactly what I needed. The Selma Lounge and Patio was intimate, yet spacious. John was a joy to work with, was great with communication, and collaborated well to make my vision come to life. I will definitely keep St Felix in mind to host my next big event!
The place is incredible, a mix of a barber shop, a speakease, a beautiful photobooth, and an incredible retro space for photos, shows, clips, events, etc... The size is small, but ideal for small projects or small celebrations, it is my second time there and I highly recommend it... possibly I will rent it again soon.
The location was great! The team and staff were professional and kind! Everyone had a great time! 10/10 recommend.
I really like the side room it’s big enough for about 40-50 people, the use of the Photo Booth was included in the rental and you get a private bar tender. The food was amazing, we recommend doing the tacos for a big party. The rental price is very reasonable. They allow you to bring a dj and/or play your own music.
The space was unique, welcoming, cozy, and ultimately exactly wanted out of a 30th birthday celebration. Nick, Kat, and Jimmy are wonderful people and were super friendly and accommodating. All of my guest felt like they were transported to a whole different side of LA, as well as a whole different era! All in all, I was happy that everything was set up and taken care of, leaving me with nothing to worry about except my karaoke performance.
