BUZZ CLUBS

A lounge that’s all about rock

Rocker Sirius Trixon is launching a new rock ‘n’ roll social club called Star Lounge at North on Sunset Boulevard every Tuesday. Kerrang! ....

Concorde is nearly ready to fly

So, word on the street is that Paris Hilton is one of the investors in the new nightclub Concorde, soon to open on Cahuenga Boulevard. Fancy. We also hear that the Bolthouse crew, which rocks the Ivar, the Lounge and A.D., has already promised to promote a night at the new venue. Fancy schmancy ...

Turning up the heat at Nacional

For the hottest scene in Hollywood on Tuesday nights, better head to Nacional. And if you do, be sure to check out the new neighboring Cuban restaurant, Paladar. Spice is so nice....

Also on Tuesdays, check out the hot New Romantics night at Vida in Los Feliz, which features DJs spinning the likes of T. Rex, Roxy Music and the Cars. Let the good times roll.... C’mon get happy: We hear the best happy hour in Hollywood is happening at Pinot. Might have something to do with the stiff martinis.... Say it ain’t so!
