OR Bar

Or Bar ushers in a dazzling new era for LGBTQ nightlife when it opens in late December as a modern cocktail lounge with a decadent, disco-flavored vibe. Located in one of West Hollywood’s longest-running gay addresses, Or Bar is the brainchild of the powerhouse creative team of on-air personality/style expert George Kotsiopoulos, West Hollywood business leader Rob Novinger and serial entrepreneur Stevie Schestag. This trio has conceptualized an art-infused social gathering place inspired by French disco-era decadence that will transport patrons to the chic nightlife dens of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Or Bar’s location at 8228 Santa Monica Boulevard is inside one of the longest-running gay addresses in West Hollywood, dating back to 1976 when it opened as Lillian’s, a restaurant catering to the LGBTQ community. The name Or Bar comes from the French word for gold, “or”, and is a subtle nod to the location’s more recent history as one of West Hollywood’s longest-operating gay bars, the Gold Coast, which shuttered permanently during the pandemic.
