The boys behind the Dime and Winston's have struck again with Crown Bar, a Fairfax-adjacent restaurant/lounge that attracts a powerful Industry crowd and celebrities who love/need them. It’s no wonder why. The owners have some serious pull in this town. Andy Fiscella is an actor signed with Endeavor, Chris Huvane is the west coast editor of GQ and brother of celebrity agent Kevin Huvane, and Beau Flynn is a producer. Also joining the trifecta on this venue are Matt Lavin and Charlie Lew from Hardball Productions, an events company that often works with the cool kids at Flaunt magazine.

Unlike the the Dime and Winston's, which both have a New York City neighborhood vibe, Crown Bar is Hollywood glam meets 1940s gentleman's club. Gavin Bordin of Vantage Design carved out three distinct areas—lounge, dining area, front patio—situated around a circular white marble bar. He also gave it a color palette that ranges from milk chocolate (the banquettes) to mahogany (the floors, tables) to amber (the lighting). All three bars have one great thing in common: weekly DJ sets by Michelle Pesce, an A-list DJ who can get even the coolest kids singing at the top of their lungs.
