The Scene
This nightlife gem is the first Valley foray by the trendsetting impresarios behind hipster hangouts like Daddy's and the 4100. The posh lounge attracts a mixed crowd of sexy Valley vixens, lounge lizards and coupled up combinations of the two. A long, narrow bar stretches across the length of the intimate, yet spacious main room. Plush, modern furnishings like cushy wraparound couches and polished dark wood comprise the rest of the low-lit interior. Eclectic jukebox selections from Jamiroquai to the Rolling Stones provide the just-loud-enough soundtrack.
The Draw
Sapphire's first come, first served door policy and non-reserved seating inside make it an ideal place to party without worrying about pretentious guest lists or bottle-service minimums. The initial lack of advertising created a steadily building word-of-mouth vibe, and now in-the-know barhoppers from neighboring nightspots--and greater L.A.--have moved in.

Went there for drinks for my 21st birthday, very friendly doorman, quick bartenders and STRONG DRINKS. I am not kidding. We ordered Jim Beam and Cokes and it was like getting a glass of Beam with a shot of coke. So you get your moneys worth. My only complaint is that there were way too many people in there for such a small space, and it was very dark. The photo that accompanies this listing is misleading! I would go there again though.

i love this place! jukebox rocks! people sometimes dance spontaneously. room is dark. crowds are good. drinks are stiff. cool little back room for privacy and fireplace. sometimes it can get really crowded tho and might even have a line. that's the only downside.

this place reminds me of the chalet in eagle rock, which probably isn't surprising since it's owned by the same people. good drinks and great music selection on the jukebox. probably not the spot you want to be at if you're looking for a place where you can have a good conversation with someone, since it gets pretty loud. there is sometimes a line to get in on the weekends, but the wait isn't bad.
