The Dresden Room

Last night Christina and I (along with a couple friends) went to The Dresden Room in Hollywood. If the name sounds familiar, it’s probably because this is the same bar that was in the movie Swingers. What a fascinating place. If you’ve never been there, I highly recommend going. There’s no cover charge, you can vallet for $3.50 (or less) and you can listen to one of the older lounge acts in L.A. Marty & Elaine have been performing cover songs in this bar since the early 80s and are quite entertaining. They have to be in thier late 60s / early 70s by now but they can still belt out Stayin’ Alive like nobody’s business. Elaine gets a little crazy on the electric keyboard from time to time and really pumps up the crowd. Speaking of which, the crowd in this joint is really diverse (age, ethnicity, sexual prefs, etc) so you’ll never feel out of place.

I think we’re going to have to go back for a second visit soon… it was a lot of fun.
