Business Description from the Web

Air Conditioned is one of the more wildly ambitious bars you’re likely to find in Los Angeles, mixing a dance club with a live music venue with a (sort of) supper club. It doesn’t completely succeed at all of them – since it’s mostly just bar food – but the fact that you have the option of getting a bite while you listen to great music is certainly appealing, especially when you’re with a large... more

On a grungy-strip of Lincoln Boulevard mostly known for used car lots, this much-welcomed spin-off is a cinnamon-colored architectural beacon for cleaned-up surfers and six-figure power femmes. The 3,700-square foot space is painted in shades of red-and-green light with UFO-minded artwork and bar of retro-swivel chairs. Patrons lounging on cozy two-seater couches and tufted booths make their... more

Tips About This Business

Know Before You Go

brought to you by

Citysearch

The Lincoln Boulevard strip is heavily patrolled by the CHP--be sure to request a taxi from the bartender as there are rarely any drive-bys.

So I went to the Air Conditioned Bar in Santa Monica and thought it was a really nice, chill sorta place and thought the same could be said of the Venice location. Boy was I completely wrong! First they keep the line outside long just to make it seem like it's the happening club even though once you go inside it is not even that full. Second, you have to pay a $10 cover even if you are on a... more

No shorts, no notice, no entry...

brought to you by

Remember to not wear shorts on a 95 degree night fellas. Even though it doesn't say it on their web site, at least nowhere I could find as of today, you won't get in. But it's okay for the ladies to wear shorts. Go figure, then go somewhere else. Wasn't worth the drive all the way down to the lower west side to get turned away for something like that. Lame.

Was here on a Saturday night. Great music, but the crowd was soooo lame and rude! People trying to be Hollywood types, but on Lincoln. It just doesn't work. And who has a red carpet on Lincoln? Bizarre place. I wouldn't go here again.

Pros

Last night I attended an event at your establishment. I was very pleased with the set up and atmosphere of the club and had a good time for the most part. However at the end of the night there was an incident with one of your bartenders that upset me greatly.

COOL and EASY

brought to you by

Citysearch

For a Venice Bar this place is cool. . . .I found the doormen to be very polite. The Bar could use some lessons and speed. . . . but coming from NYC (Me) where the rents are higher I guess Bartenders tend to hustle better for bigger tips. Over all Nice music and everyone seemed to be having fun and that is what you want. You'll have fun starting off there then bounce.

Nice surprise! by Cassandra L. at InsiderPages

brought to you by

This place was a pleasant surprise. I never even knew it existed until a friend of mine mentioned it and we went. The inside is surprisingly decorated very nice despite the outside. Drinks are a little pricey for a whole in the wall and the crowd wasn't all that hot when I was there, but the vibe could potentially be really awesome!

Best clubbin music

brought to you by

Jumpin Music, Sweet Djay, got no smoke machines, and lazer rays..
Old school music from late nineties, early 2000 and a mix of eighties, banging bartenders, music will not make you stop dancing!! I've been to other clubs out at Hollywood that would play songs that you would normally hear on the radio, BUT at this club they'd take you back to what hip hop is all about!

I could not get in.

brought to you by

Citysearch

I forgot my license and it's understandable that I could not get in. I am 35 and was not going to drink. What made me mad is that the bouncer looks at my girlfriend and says she can get in because he recognizes her, but won't let me in because he doesn't recognize me. My gf's never been there in her life. Look, bouncers, you don't have to want to sleep with someone in order to be cool. ... more

Oh man

brought to you by

Nights at AC always end up wild. Get there early to avoid the annoying line (What the hell - this is Santa Monica lets get rid of the line people) and the$5 cover is lame considering you are paying club prices for drinks. But come with a few in you already and get ready for a fun night.

Pros

+ Great scene

Cons

- drink prices, cover, line.

Great New Place

First time here and its defenitely a place I would come back to on a regular basis. Easy to get in, great decor, good scenary, and really great music. If you've been to the Room, imagine that, but, way nicer, bigger, and with food.

Pros

+ Great decor, music, spacious, and good scenary.

Cons

- No smoking patio so you have you go outside.
