Join the crowds at Capri Club, the retro Italian lounge that's L.A.'s hottest destination bar.
Around a quarter to seven on a recent Wednesday evening at Capri Club, the sun had nearly set behind the apartment buildings across the street, and the changing light was creating microclimates in ambiance around the bar.
Up front, along the tables on the sidewalk and just inside the open picture window, the crowd still had the air of day-drinking: Most people sipped punch-red spritzes or Negroni slushes the color of orangesicles.

I stood close by with five or six others in the near dark, waiting to order drinks and looking out toward the street. The patio misting system was going full-blast, and it turned the view of the cityscape beyond into a bright, watery blur. The scene could have been anywhere in the world.
The surrounding scenery might not be picturesque, but in June, when owner Robert Fleming reopened an almost-60-year-old space that housed the former Italian restaurant Capri — he put up a sign that says “Since 1963” in winking quotes — he launched what has become L.A.’s destination bar of 2022.What gave it such instant magnetism? A knowing mix of the sort of new-but-retro-cool that appeals to Angelenos, coupled with the right timing: We simply want to hang somewhere exactly like this. L.A.
