Saints & Sinners: though the beads swing, the patrons do not, at least when they're at the bar Kristofer Keith: the genius designer behind the Barkley in the former Forty Deuce space Saints & Sinners: the '70s were all about the sexual revolution, and so is the wallpaper at this Culver City bar Saints & Sinners: the fire pit isn't the only thing that heats up this porno-chic bar

Like Central, the nightclub at West Hollywood’s ultra-hip Foxtail (designed by Franklin Studios and SBE’s Theresa Fatino, photo 18) is an un-kitschy take on ’70s design. Its extravagant rock ’n’ roll decor, inspired by English fashion emporium Biba, works well with the turn-of-the-century excess of the main floor’s nouveau-meets-deco look. The space is mostly emerald, pink and burgundy, plus a faux-zebra rug (or is it white tiger?) underneath a large and almost impossibly shiny L-shaped black leather banquette. Foxtail is so exclusive you might have to take our word for it that this really is what it looks like.
