PIPS Speakeasy Guide · Behind the Door

Los Angeles

Through an armoire, into a fridge in Hollywood, behind a K-town door.

LA hides its best rooms: No Vacancy hides a staircase under a Victorian bed in Hollywood, Davey Wayne's sends the party through a refrigerator into the 1970s, and Lock & Key makes you find the right doorknob in Koreatown.
