Here's what Trippy members say about Gallery Bar and Cognac Room:
"Check out the concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. You can see some of the best artists in the world for under $20. Just make sure you bring a pillow as the seats are rock hard. It can be notoriously hard to get to (the parking is awful) so if this is on your list you might want to consider staying at the Loews Hollywood Hotel which is very, very close. The Getty Villa is free (although parking is not) and they have great exhibitions. I would make a stop at Tower 8 at the Oceana Santa Monica either before or after. Actually, the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel is nice, for that, too. Watts Towers Arts Center is a true "only in L.A." experience. It's a sculpture/complex/giant piece of folk art that was built by an Italian immigrant in the early 20th century. Really worth seeing and only about $7 to see. I'd head north after that and check out Downtown Los Angeles where there are tons of free walking tours. Here's a good link to one of the tour companies: ." See More
