A damn fine bar since 2015
Every bar says it's a neighborhood bar. Ours comes with a landmark hotel attached.
Rooted in the heart of Los Angeles' Koreatown, The Normandie Club is housed inside the landmark Hotel Normandie, circa 1926. Established in 2015, it's a community cocktail bar with a unique drink program — our take on the classics alongside plenty of incredible drinks we're excited about — complemented by a signature service philosophy. Let us know what you're in the mood for, and we'll find the right drink for you.
How we got here
- 1926
The Hotel Normandie opens at 6th and Normandie. The neon sign on the roof still works.
- 2015
The Normandie Club opens on the ground floor — twelve months of buildout, one Coconut Old Fashioned that never leaves the menu.
- 2016
The white brick behind the bar starts collecting signatures from industry friends around the world. It hasn't stopped.
- 2019
The back room finds its calling: neon pink, an infinity bar, and a comically large disco ball.
- 2020
Koreatown keeps us alive with to-go cocktails and stubborn loyalty. We remember it.
- Today
Lounge up front, DJs in back, Social Hour every single day. Guest experience first, above all else.
Things the regulars know
- The building came first — Hotel Normandie, 1926. We moved in on the ground floor in 2015.
- The Coconut Old Fashioned has been on the menu since day one. It isn't going anywhere.
- Penny Pound Ice cuts a "Normandie" cube — a size created specifically for us.
- The white brick behind the bar is covered in signatures from industry friends around the world.
- The back room hides a comically large disco ball. Friday and Saturday, it earns its keep.
Of Koreatown, for Koreatown
We strive for an experience akin to an elevated neighborhood bar — one where you can feel just as at home with your pinkies out sipping a martini, or throwing back a beer and a shot with friends. Unlike your typical hotel bar, this is a welcoming, comfortable neighborhood spot with streamlined and impeccably executed cocktails. Above all else, the guest experience comes first.
- Local breweries on draft — Skyduster, Modern Times, MadeWest, Enegren
- Rotating pop-ups that hand the counter to neighborhood kitchens
- Housemade syrups, fresh juice, and the Normandie ice cube
- Social Hour priced for the people who actually live here, daily 6–8
