Those yearning for the elegance of Hollywood yesterday get dressed up and head to this gorgeous Downtown bar.

Ornate chandeliers hover above this old-fashioned, elegant bar located in the historic Millennium Biltmore Hotel. The Gallery Bar is one of those fancy places used to impress a date—or it can just serve as a great excuse to dress up. Legend says that the Black Dahlia was last seen at the hotel before disappearing into the night and becoming one of LA's most famous murder victims. Far from shying away from that sad tale, the bar has commemorated that rumor with a drink named after her. Only in LA, kids.
