The Scene
Originally used as Hollywood's first soundstage in D.W. Griffith's ''Intolerance,'' the space was later converted into a flamenco/dinner-theater venue. From the street, the weathered Moorish facade belies this subterranean gem. Shaded by heavy foliage, a white stairwell winds down to a pleasantly lit red, black and gold room with plush leather booths. Bullfighting posters, coats of arms and flamenco paraphernalia seek to replicate a 16th-century Spanish tavern, while adding a touch of kitsch value. Outside, the sprawling patio features decorative plants and festive lighting.
The Draw
Early in the evening, the restaurant hosts authentic flamenco shows for a crowd of cozy couples and groups celebrating special occasions. Later in the evening, DJs from the rotating club calendar take over and the bar is packed with an attractive crowd from across the city. Depending on the night, the music could be any variety of rockabilly, salsa or house.
