Damn, I Miss Paris

This buzzy West Adams cocktail bar is owned by celebrity stylist Jason Bolden, who counts Gabrielle Union-Wade and Dwyane Wade as clients and friends, and his interior designer partner Adair Curtis. The space may be small and the soundtrack is earsplitting, but the energy’s downright electric thanks to the couple’s industry friends—so if you’re looking for a total scene without the commute to actual Hollywood, this is the place to go. There’s a small food menu that includes chicken tenders and chocolate chip cookies, plus a straightforward menu of classic cocktails, wine and beer. I tried the paloma and the vesper; both were solid, but not particularly standout. If you’re coming here, it’s either because you’re already in the area or because you’re seeking out the celebrity-adjacent vibes—no judgment here.
