About Cha Cha Lounge

In December of 2005, the Cha Cha Lounge opened its doors in what was then the small, quiet, unknown Eastern Los Angeles enclave known as "Silver-Lake". Back then, you might have only found yourself the neighborhood while pulling off the freeway only to fill your tank or to fix a flat tire caused by the strewn about scrap metal and smashed furniture that once clogged the streets and sidewalks. Brother, how times have changed.... and Cha Cha Lounge humbly takes credit for no small part of this magnificent transformation.

You've probably heard of Silver-Lake and the Cha Cha Lounge in your favorite magazine or on your favorite website and the hype isn't unfounded! The dimly-lit bar has the vibe of some place you stumble into in Tijuana and is situated in a building that once housed a colorful local men's club.

The table tops pay homage to the previous bar, painted by local artists celebrating the drag queens that used to perform there. Bathed in dark red light, cluttered with old Mexican party favors and an amazing collection of black light paintings, the Cha Cha Lounge has thrust Sliver-Lake forward and into the collective national conscience by attracting the nation's hippest taste-makers and trendsetters.

Tip your hat to the life-size Willie Nelson cutout as you walk through the door and head for one of the many cozy U shaped booths that line the wall. The place packs in the locals on any given night along with a few celebrities (including Jake Gyllenhaal, Kelly Osborne, Drew Berrymore and Ryan Gosling) for its super cheap happy hour, foosball tables, photobooth & vending machine packed with eclectic items.

There is no place like it in LA…its truly one of a kind!
