At first, Guy's seems like an exclusive bar open only to young Hollywood elite, CAA assistants, or people who look like they're on "The Hills." Don't be discouraged: they may be exclusive, but they're a welcoming bunch.

Tucked into an unremarkable block near Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the Beverly Center, Guy's is easy to miss unless you know to look for it—and that's just how the clientele and management like it. The intimate space and all-black interior enhance the privacy Guy's prides itself on, but the really juicy drama always manages to leak out, like the time Lindsay Lohan freaked out when Danny Masterson wouldn't let her into his weekly Sunday jazz night Kid's Cotton Club. And while Christina Aguilera has been known to jump up and sing along with the jazz band, no one is allowed to sing one of her songs during karaoke night, which takes place most Tuesdays—not even Nicole Richie, who has been known to belt out quite a tune while wearing her underpants over her jeans. Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are fans of Guy's, as are the NBA's finest players. But the ballers and the power players are balanced out by a regular crowd of in-the-know locals who slide right past the velvet rope so long as the pearly whites are showing. And a little cleavage never hurts.—Tara Tyson
