Officially the coolest private club since that one started by Kristy, Claudia, Stacey and (ugh) Mary Anne, 41 Ocean's a members-only social lounge-cum-bar-cum-restaurant that's essentially the Westside's answer to SoHo house, with a bevy of hanging areas including this massive outdoor patio...

...a be-couched indoor lounge area that doubles as a rentable private screening room for your next Point Break viewing party...

...and, where you'll actually spend your time: the bar, with a drink menu helmed by a Red Medicine vet who'll have no problem fixing what ails you.

Imbibe-ables include everything from Old Fashioneds to this tequila and pomegranate grenadine-based Mexican Firing Squad (pro tip: order a plethora).

Hungry and totally out of Snickers? Head to this Spanish colonial dining room for stomach-fillers dressed by a former Top Cheftestant.

This braised ox cheek is served with celery root and what Bugs Bunny suggests really kinky couples do in the bedroom (yuzu carrots).

Oh yeah: they're also going to have performances nightly, with intimate sets by artists who will no doubt use this piano, man.
