CLOSED: Sam Nazarian, nightclub entrepreneur had to close S Bar due to a lawsuit by condo owners in the building above complaining about noise. Soundproofing measures were taken to rectify it but were not sufficient to satisfy condo dwellers.

The famous corner of Hollywood and Vine was once home to the Palace Theater, at the end of 2007 the S Bar opened with a lot of fanfare. The new boîte, designed (of course) by Philippe Starck, has a discreet entrance on Hollywood Boulevard, while inside, stylish patrons lounge on leather chesterfield sofas.
They serve cocktails made from freshly squeezed vegetable or fruit juices with again (of course) Roberto Cavalli vodka for the health-conscious.
