Black Rabbit Rose—the mysterious new Hollywood nightlife destination conjures a blend of style and spectacle synonymous of the dynamic duo behind it—the Houston Brothers (La Descarga, No Vacancy, Break Room 86). This concept is equal parts bar and theater, with ticketed shows from an array of talent from magicians and illusionists to burlesque dancers, performing in its speakeasy theater space Thursday through Saturday nights.
Cocktails in the intimate main bar blend perfectly with the ambiance, some like the Smoke N Mirrors are a spectacle with gin, sweet vermouth, a hickory smoke filled glass and flamed orange zest. You can also order Thai-Chinese favorites—think salt and pepper popcorn shrimp, drunken noodles and tiger fried rice—from neighboring take-out window, CryingTiger while you’re imbibing.
