The Standard is definitely a cool bar. And the prices are certainly high -- but equaled to the going rate at any nearby trendy bar on Sunset. I heard the crowd, usually populated with stars, is half the draw. But I must admit -- the purple, dark lighting makes it tough to see anyone -- hence the reason stars would go there. If you validate, valet parking is as cheap (w/tip) as nearby lot parking. And for those that want to avoid attitude at the door, get there early (before 11pm).
Pros: great scene
Cons: expensive
