Detroit Bar

 

Indie haven for well-accessorized girls and metro boys

Don't be deterred by its location in a generic strip mall. This stylish bar is bursting at the seams with chic mod decor and pretty people grooving to everything from ironic '80s hits to Brit-pop jams.

Operated by the Memphis Group—the same OC wunderkinds who brought Costa Mesa the chic Memphis Bar and Restaurant—the Detroit Bar caters to a similarly sexy kind of crowd. Acts like David Cross and indie goddess Cat Power have drawn well-accessorized girls and metro boys with expensive haircuts. The only problem is that with all those pretty people around, there's often someone better in the crowd. —Tatiana Simonian
