Description

This tiny Silver Lake bar is almost literally a hole in the wall burrowed into the side of a hill. There is no sign marking the location, save for a glowing red-and-white-striped barbershop pole that beckons passersby. Hyperion Tavern is about the size of a living room, with a small stage, a DJ booth, a piano, a dance floor that's almost an afterthought and a wooden bar crowded into the diminutive space. Distinguishing features include chandeliers, a wall lined with bookshelves and a cash register mounted with a large silver medallion commemorating JFK. Formerly the site of the notorious leather bar Cuffs, the l'il tavern is now the spot for a notoriously adventurous range of weekly DJ nights. Beer only. Ages 21 & over.

The bar opens sometime around 10 p.m. Dopp and Madonna bartend themselves -- beers are $3 to $5 and stored in coolers -- and hold court for a low-key Eastside art crowd. Usually an artist moonlights... More »

  • 2009 | BEST WEEKEND ELECTRONIC BEATS

    You'd never notice Silver Lake's Hyperion Tavern unless someone pointed it out. It's housed in a nondescript navy blue brick of a building on a shady tree-lined stretch where Fountain meets Hyperion. Its owners don't do much promotion; the only signage is a striped barber pole. Until relatively recently it was a gay leather bar (leading surprised would-be patrons to receive beers when they're requesting "bears"). But every Friday, the place turns into one of L.A.'s finest havens for beat... More »
