Boulevard 3 was opened in 2006 by Peter Famulari, co-owner of West Hollywood's highly successful Skybar. The club and lounge has a luxurious English mansion theme, featuring an expansive garden courtyard, library lounge and a three-level, 7,500-square-foot ballroom. The courtyard is located at the entrance, greeting customers with regal landscaping such as reflective pools headed by a 20-foot fireplace. Canopied, outdoor rooms feature a private experience with distinct fragrances and ambient lighting. Indoors, the library lounge with its vaulted ceilings and its mix of classical artwork and contemporary media highlight Boulevard 3's old-world-meets-new-world statement. After the library, guests may pass into the ballroom, which features a 1,500-square-foot dance floor, lounge mezzanine and VIP balcony, all bathed with LED lights. For refreshments and entertainment, Boulevard 3 has a large main bar as well as a stage where performers from DJs to circus acts awe the crowd.

VICE Hollywood is a small and exclusive, upscale lounge. Seating consists of black leather sofas and banquettes as well as short, candle-lit tables. The room has a rather minimal decor, consisting of some exposed brick and mirrors, animated by ambient neon lighting. While bottle-service is the focus of the VICE drinking experience, patrons may also order top-shelf cocktails and beer at the VICE bar. As the night progresses, patrons flood onto the dance floor for top 40, hip hop and R&B hits; Tuesday nights introduce a change of pace with rock 'n roll night. DJs and dancers provide most of the entertainment as VICE hosts a variety of special events throughout the week. Valet Parking is available.
