  • Chars LIVE

    Love this place. My girlfriend and I come every now and then when we're bar hopping on Melrose. They have live music and it's a cool spot. Performers are always awesome. People let loose and dance too. Dimly lit, cool lounge type vibe. I usually get a martini and it's always on point. Definitely recommend coming here for date night.
