Experience The Bungalow Night Market

The Bungalow is known to Santa Monica citizens as one of the most populated bars on the Westside. Its brand built on surf culture, Baja California and a quality sunset over the Pacific leads locals and visitors alike to keep coming back to the inviting venue attached to the Fairmont Hotel. With summer just around the corner, The Bungalow has a new draw with the launch of their Night Market—a weekly event featuring a selection of LA’s best food trucks. Learn more about The Bungalow Night Market and their plans for a bustling, beachside summer event.

 

Night Market 2024 is Back!

For those looking to get their weekend started early, the Night Market will run every Thursday night, from June 6th through August 29th. The free event will stake its claim on what is currently the Bungalow’s parking lot, which normally houses valet cars along with a line of people that snakes through the space on weekends. The unstoppable Bungalow crowds are sure to appreciate a new reason to swing by and take advantage of an additional space to hang out along Ocean Boulevard.

Other newcomers include the iconic seafood-specialists The Boiling Crab, the NY style slices of LA staple URBN Pizza, and Good Time Ice Cream holding down dessert.

Brent Bolthouse & The Bungalow

Bungalow visionary Brent Bolthouse joined designers Studio Collective to open up the now iconic indoor-outdoor space in the summer of 2012. Since then, the beloved brand has expanded to include another location in Huntington Beach with additional venues in La Jolla and Long Beach scheduled to open by the end of the year. Guests flock to both of the current locations to take in the quintessentially Californian vibe while sipping drinks in a welcoming, beachy environment.

Following the neighborhood-centric blueprint of The Bungalow and taking inspiration from farmers markets, The Night Market provides an ideal open-air setting between city and sea, where guests can relax and unwind with loved ones, celebrating the local essence of Santa Monica. “Night Market is truly an extension of The Bungalow’s community-based ethos. As The Bungalow celebrates a decade in Santa Monica, we wanted to evolve with our guests, many of whom now have families of their own. Night Market allows us to expand upon the culture we’ve created and the community that has embraced us with an impactful event for everyone, celebrating the vibrant artists and artisans who together craft the one-of-a-kind creative landscape that is Santa Monica,” comments Bolthouse. 

Previous iterations of Night Market saw celebrity attendees like Cameron Diaz, Aaron Paul and Eva Longoria guest bartending, creating specialty cocktails with their brands Dos Hombres and Casa Del Sol for food and drink lovers alike, while Brody Jenner closed out the 2022 Night Market season with a special DJ set with his tequila seltzer, Mamitas. “Night Market gets bigger and better every year with new food vendors, live music, great drinks and even some surprise celebrity guests.” says Bolthouse, “Food is the ultimate connector and I wanted to create an event where families and guests of all ages can come together and enjoy each other’s company while eating some of the best food that LA has to offer. I can’t wait to have everyone enjoy their summer evenings with us at Night Market.”

Bolthouse is also known for creating exciting events and is recently coming off the heels of the success of the annual Neon Carnival Coachella after party. The 2024 event included blowout live DJ sets, an airstream speakeasy, a themed ferris wheel and bumper car installations, and an unprecedented amount of drinks, dancing, and good times. Bolthouse has since succeeded in making Night Market a staple in the Santa Monica summer scene alongside the June Santa Monica Pride festival and the August Santa Monica Pier Twilight Concerts.

    New Years Resolutions

    The New Year has arrived and a fresh start often means a new set of goals to accomplish over the next 365 days. While “new year, new me” is simple enough for many, entrepreneurs have plenty of inspirational resolutions that may encourage the rest of us to step up our game and embrace the blank slate of opportunity. From celebrities to CEOs, these go-getters share their plans for betterment in the new year with these new years resolutions.




    Natalie Portman, Academy-Award Winning Actress:

    “I think everyone needs to do what’s right for them. And every woman knows the pressures on appearance, but something that one of my friends did that I sort of copied which I liked was to make categories for resolutions, and it wasn’t one thing, so it was like, what do I want to do for my friends, what do I want to do for my family, what do I want to do for my community, what do I want to do for myself?”




    Tracee Ellis Ross, Producer and Actress:

    “I think a New Year’s resolution would be to be gentle with yourself. I like to call it ‘gentle, gentle,” because sometimes you need that second reminder. So it’s like, make space for being soft with yourself.”




    Scott Lipps, CEO and founder of One Management:

    “I vow to use more products this year! Very rarely do I use products other than soap and a bit of a moisturizer so this next year gonna take extra care of my skin! It’s all you’ve got!”

    Katia Beauchamp, Co-Founder and CEO of Birchbox:

    “The year ahead is all about elevating my confidence and celebrating the incredible accomplishments of life. I’ve always been confident to an extent, but it wasn’t a well I could draw from in the hardest moments. I’ve realized that it isn’t about perfection — it’s about owning your strengths, having the humility to see where you need the strength of others, and being open and impressionable to change. It’s within my reach and I feel now more than ever that this type of confidence in everyone will be critical to the future we all want to see come to fruition.”

    Danny Meyer, Founder of Shake Shack:

    “My New Year’s resolution is once and for all to spend significantly less time reading and writing emails, and far more time being present and looking people in the eye.”

    Zendaya, Actress and Singer:

    “… My mom recently took a pic of me looking down at my phone when [we] were out to dinner. She captioned it, ‘dinner with @zendaya and her phone.’ Sorry, mom! I just start scrolling and tune everybody out. Seriously, I’ve gotta do a detox.”

    Stephen Kaufer, CEO of TripAdvisor:

    “My New Year’s resolution is to use the power and influence of TripAdvisor’s brand to aid in the humanitarian refugee crisis that we’re seeing in many parts of the Middle East, Africa, and Europe today. In addition to our commitment to organizations like Mercy Corps and The International Rescue Committee, I want to encourage others in the travel industry and around the world to take action and help provide refugees with critical access to information, essential education opportunities, and resettlement support. It’s one of the worst humanitarian disasters of our generation. Years from now, I want my grandkids to know that I joined with others and chose to help, if only in a small way.”

    Helen Mirren, Academy-Award Winning Actress:

    “Stop procrastinating. That’s my new year’s resolution for everybody, but mostly for myself. Don’t procrastinate, just don’t. I have my whole life and every year I have to make the same resolution because I always procrastinate.”

    Sara Blakely, Founder of Spanx:

    “I just joined Instagram this past fall (late to the party!) when I launched my book, ‘The Belly Art Project,’ to create awareness for maternal health. One of my resolutions is to use my social platforms to build awareness for organizations that empower women. Being philanthropic can be fun and isn’t always about making a financial contribution.”

    Neil Vogel, CEO of About.com:

    “My almost-three-year old is obsessed with the guitar, so my goal is to learn to play guitar serviceably. Only then will I be on par with his other great hero, Spiderman.”

    Gina Rodriguez, Golden Globe Winning Actress:

    “My resolutions are again, they’re constantly, they’re daily, and they’re usually focused on self love and working on not turning the knife on myself, not tearing myself down, fighting fear, trying something that scares me at least once every day, and not allowing rejection or failure to stop me from trying…”

    Drew and Jonathan Scott, HGTV’s Property Brothers:

    “Both of our New Year’s resolutions include more travel… but specifically to places we have never been. As color will be big the new year, we’re hoping to find vibrant inspiration in exotic parts of the globe we have yet to experience. Stay tuned.”

    Whether your sights are set on smaller personal goals, or your plans are to revolutionize your industry, this year provides a brand new start in making it happen. Take the advice from these noteworthy individuals for a prosperous and rewarding new year.

      West Hollywood Extends Last Call Until 4am

      Is West Hollywood Extending the Last Call Until 4am?

      West Hollywood remains a bustling hotspot with a prominent nightlife scene. The hotels are glamorous, the clubs are extravagant, and there’s seemingly always something to do. WeHo is a neighborhood that’s always on the move, and there’s some good news for nightlife junkies. On Monday, June 27th, The West Hollywood city council voted to extend the city’s last call time to 4am, which would allow bars, clubs and restaurants to keep the party going, long into the night. 

      City Councilmember John Erickson says the biggest issue is making sure people can get home safely. “As a young person and young elected official, I see my friends out there way past 2 a.m., but also we have public safety concerns. We want to make sure people are getting home safely. And when people are leaving our bars and nightlife, they’re going into other cities so what do other cities think?” 

      There’s a compelling case to be made that not only is there a ton of money to be made for the neighborhood in alcohol sales, but bars being open late isn’t even a radical idea. Many major American cities have already pushed the window for late-night excitement, including New York, Chicago, Miami, and Las Vegas.

      Pending State Approval

      The pilot program would still need to be approved by the state, but West Hollywood is not alone in their fight for epic nights. Several other California cities were on the docket, including San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno, Coachella, Cathedral City, and Palm Springs. City officials could choose to extend alcohol sales in certain areas, on given days of the week, or even just for special events, like San Francisco’s Outside Lands and of course, the ever-popular Coachella.

      Should West Hollywood elect to extend the last call, it is sure to be an exciting time to be in Los Angeles.

        Drip IV Therapy + Mobile

        Drip IV therapy has become a booming business in recent years as a way to boost energy after a night of partying, a long flight or to enhance immunity. Drip IV Therapy offers mobile services to give clients a personalized experience right in the comfort of their own home.

        What is Drip IV?

        The process of IV therapy was previously only limited to athletes, celebrities and others with demanding schedules that called for them to maximize their energy. Only a select few had the ability to arrange for state-of-the-art treatments, which are highly effective in promoting cellular health. Drip IV Therapy offers convenient mobile IV treatments in markets all throughout Southern California.

        Drip IV’s team of professional Registered Nurses visit clients and administer the infusions, with the full process taking as little as 45 minutes. Clients feel the effects and are able to continue their day with a boost of energy and vitality.

        Types of Treatment

        The body’s need for nutrients becomes even more important when putting it through the day to day challenges of things like jet lag, drinking alcoholic beverages and stress. Delivering vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, an IV drip is far more effective than traditional means of ingesting supplements orally. Drip IV Therapy offers a range of IV treatments that each address different afflictions depending on the client’s needs. 

        One of their most popular treatments is the Hangover Drip, offering just what the body needs after a long night of drinking. The Hydration Drip offers a standard saline solution to help balance fluids and promote nutrient absorption. The Immunity Drip is also a popular option, helping to boost immunity with vitamins like B12, zinc, and magnesium. Clients can even get a Food Poisoning Drip to help clear out toxins in the body due to food poisoning. Customized IV solutions are also available based on a unique test analyzing the client’s white blood cells.

          Safe Social Distancing

          As Californians begin to adjust to new rules and regulations on where they can and can’t go due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many are seeking options for getting out of their house in a safe way. Places like restaurants, bars, movie theaters, gyms, bowling alleys and salons have now been ordered to shut down by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and California Governor Gavin Newsom. However, there are still a number of safe ways Angelenos can participate in social distancing activities in Los Angeles.

          At Home Workouts

          With gyms and hiking trails now closed, you can always get in shape right in your own home with a home workout. Fitness gurus and online publications offer plenty of advice on how you can continue staying active during this unprecedented time.

          Virtual Happy Hour

          Just because bars and restaurants are closed doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy happy hour, with apps like Zoom and Houseparty gaining popularity for uniting groups of friends for a video celebration. Pour yourself a drink and toast the camera for a fun way to stay social during social distancing.

          Cook a New Recipe

          With so much indoor time on your hands, now may be the perfect time to become an expert in the kitchen. Cooking is a great stress-reliever and can boost your creativity by trying out something new. Crack open an old cookbook or look up recipes online for an endless amount of dishes to keep you busy.

          Live Streaming Music Sets

          Many musicians have taken to Instagram Live to continue performing for massive crowds, each in their own home. DJs like Diplo and DJ D-Nice have made waves through the quarantine by spinning playlists for fans. Check out your favorite artist’s Instagram to see if they’ll be going live for an intimate performance during self-isolation.

          Low-Contact Sports

          While the NBA, NFL and MLB have all ceased operations, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your own sporting events with select low-contact activities. Sports like tennis and volleyball are great for staying active, with the proper precautions in place to minimize spreading germs. Even more casual sports like frisbee or badminton are great for a quarantine break.

          Biking

          Take your bike out for a ride to enjoy Los Angeles’ springtime weather. Places like Santa Monica, the Venice Beach boardwalk or Echo Park are perfect for enjoying the fresh air at a safe social distance.

          Dog Park

          Plenty of LA citizens have their pets to worry about during the statewide Stay at Home order. For those with dogs, a visit to the dog park might be just what you and your pup need to clear your mind. Dogs are not known to contract or carry COVID-19, so them playing with other dogs is perfectly safe as a social distancing activity.

          Road Trip

          Why not take the extra time on your hands and go for a drive? If you’re road tripping with a friend, wearing face masks helps keep your germs to yourself along with making use of the backseat and cracking the windows for proper ventilation.

          Swimming & Jacuzzi

          Anyone with swimming pool or jacuzzi access is in luck, as the CDC confirms that the heat, humidity and chlorine will inactivate the COVID-19 virus. A properly-maintained pool or jacuzzi is perfectly safe to lounge in during the statewide quarantine.

          Jogging & Walking

          One of the easiest ways to get some fresh air during quarantine is to go for a walk or jog in your neighborhood. This social distancing activity gives you just enough exercise and allows you to take in the Los Angeles weather safely.

            A New Age in Advertising with Experiential Marketing

            /0 Comments/in , , /by

            Experiential Marketing

            In an era where ads are considered more of a nuisance than informative, companies are exploring more creative avenues to reach their consumers in effective ways. One approach that has gained traction in recent years is experiential marketing—events where consumers have hands-on and in-person experiences with brands. These experiential marketing events allow direct engagement that inspires an emotional connection to users.




            It has become a recognized trend that millennials tend to spend more of their income on experiences in comparison to the product-oriented generations that came before them. With their eyes constantly seeking new activities, they invest their free time in taking trips, going to events, and socializing in public places. This modern pool of highly active individuals sets up a foundation for experiential marketing to be extremely effective for brands. The continuously growing social media landscape has also become a large aspect of why experiential marketing is so useful. The unique and artistic spaces created for events are often prime photo-ops for attendees. Interactive activities can inspire hundreds of pictures which users voluntarily post to their social media channels. Experiential marketing events often will include a custom hashtag promoted in marketing materials and signage that allow attendees’ photos to be grouped online to make them easily viewed by others.




            Experiential marketing campaigns can also provide a way for brands to learn more about their consumers. Analyzing consumer data and KPIs are a significant part of marketing and with experiential events, consumers are often willing to provide relevant information about themselves in exchange for the opportunity to experience a fun event. These events act as a modern re-imagination of the classic focus group style of market research that proves to be more effective as it generates both in-person and online engagement while making a positive impact on the participant.




            Ultimately the most beneficial part of experiential marketing is the personal connection consumers are able to make with a company and more specifically, their brand. These events help illustrate the brand’s narrative and integrate consumers into the story. Their in-person memories of experiencing the event are far more impactful than a billboard they pass on the street or an ad before an online video. These opportunities for direct engagement create a relationship where after attending an experiential event, the consumer is more likely to develop brand loyalty than through traditional means of advertising. This two-way relationship where both brand and consumer are learning about each other is an invaluable method that has plenty of space to flourish within the marketing industry.

              Where to Go Out after June 15th

              As California’s vaccination rate rises, many are looking forward to finally being able to let loose in Los Angeles nightlife destinations. After June 15th, California law will allow businesses to operate at 100% capacity while following the CDC’s updated mask mandates (though many businesses may still independently have their own mask rules). Many Los Angeles nightlife venues have closed either temporarily or permanently due to the effects of pandemic. But for people looking to experience a fun and exciting summer, there are still a number of options for nightlife in Los Angeles. See which Los Angeles nightlife destinations will be the best places to party after June 15th to party it up.

              Poppy

              One of Los Angeles’ most exclusive hot spots, Poppy is an ideal destination to visit for a trendy night out. The whimsical, West Hollywood space is part lounge, part nightclub with a library-themed room for DJs and rappers to perform for tables of clubgoers.




              The Classic Cat

              A newly reopened historical locale, this speakeasy in West Hollywood has an unassuming door that leads to a bustling supperclub. Start the night with dinner and watch the atmosphere transition into a lounge complete with bottle service and live performances.




              Black Rabbit Rose

              Visit this charming, Hollywood lounge with a vintage feel to experience a unique Los Angeles nightlife venue. Live jazz performances and magic shows in their theater draw guests in for an unforgettable night of entertainment alongside an indoor bar and outdoor patio.




              Flying Embers

              Head to the Downtown LA Arts District to visit Flying Embers–one of the city’s most unique tap rooms. With a focus on hard kombucha, hard seltzer and even non-alcoholic cocktails, this bar serves up a one-of-a-kind selection of drinks you can’t find anywhere else.




              Academy

              If you miss seeing your favorite artists live, Academy is the place to go for performances from the best of the best in EDM and Dance music. Get tickets to see artists like Steve Aoki take the stage or enjoy their outdoor patio for drinks, bites and music in Hollywood.

                  LA’s The Bungalow Expands to Two New Southern California Locations

                  The Bungalow Expands to Two New Locations

                  Any visitor to Santa Monica is bound to hear buzz about The Bungalow as it holds its place as one of the busiest bars on the Westside. After expanding to Huntington Beach, the Bungalow brand continues to travel down the coast with the announcement of two new Long Beach and La Jolla locations. The beachy brand will soon be making its mark in these California cities bringing crowds of guests to enjoy their signature eclectic, outdoor space.




                  The Beginning of The Bungalow

                  The Bungalow’s flagship Santa Monica location opened in 2012 at The Fairmont Miramar Hotel and soon became a staple in the West LA bar scene. The unmatched Baja-inspired atmosphere of mixing and mingling with a view of the ocean waves has led the Bungalow brand to continue its successes, solidifying itself as a go-to for bar hoppers. Whether guests are stopping by to enjoy the outdoor patio, play a game of pool or ping pong, or warm up by the fire pit, the lounge space offers up a good time for everyone with a relaxed, welcoming environment.

                  Much of The Bungalow’s success is due to the creativity of nightlife guru Brent Bolthouse, who created the concept and heads The Bungalow Hospitality Group. Bolthouse’s legacy in the industry, along with bringing on Venice-based design partners Studio Collective, made the perfect combination of talent to push forth the uniquely Californian brand.

                  The Opening of Huntington Beach

                  Bolthouse’s Bungalow Hospitality Group soon expanded the concept to the similarly beach-driven city Huntington Beach in 2016, creating an Orange County outpost of the popular hot spot. The Bungalow Huntington Beach took on an aesthetic familiar to the original with textured accents and vintage designs that complement the city’s own history of surf culture. The success of the brand has led to the upcoming launch of two new Southern California properties under the Bungalow name—one in Long Beach and another in San Diego’s La Jolla.

                  The Huntington Beach location boasts a food menu from local partner Bear Flag Fish Co., but the two new locales will get an upgraded dining menu from world-renowned chef and restaurateur Michael Mina. The Michelin-starred chef founded MINA Group, which owns more than 40 restaurants across the country. The new Bungalow menus will include small bites and large shareable plates along with specialty cocktails.

                  Expansion of The Bungalow

                  Guests will have a view of the harbor at the Long Beach location situated in the recently opened 2nd & PCH complex in the Belmont Shores neighborhood. The Bungalow Kitchen Belmont Shore will have one of the biggest spaces in the complex with a layout amounting to 8,000 square feet. The new seaside lounge broke ground in 2019 and will soon make its mark on the Long Beach bar scene on March 4th, 2021.

                  The Bungalow La Jolla will be connected to the Westfield UTC with its own dedicated building featuring views of Downtown. The plans include an expansive 10,000 square foot layout with half of that belonging to the outdoor space alone. Guests can look forward to visiting this San Diego County destination.

                    Relax & De-Stress

                    The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the way people live with state and local governments requiring businesses to close and urging people to stay indoors. While these are stressful times for people all over the world, there are still a number of ways you can calm your nerves in your own home.

                    Cooking

                    One of the best ways to take your mind off of day-to-day life is to cook up a new recipe. Staying at home can mean that you have extra time to put together a quality meal. Cooking both a simple recipe or a complicated dinner can be a relaxing project to help pass the time. Trying a new type of cuisine or cooking method can also give you skills that will outlast the quarantine.

                    Studies show that foods like salmon, dark chocolate, chamomile, and green tea can all help to reduce anxiety, so integrating these foods into your diet may also give you an extra dose of relaxation.

Now is a great time to begin planning trips for when the world re-opens for travel and hospitality experiences. Tropical beaches, bustling cities and serene landscapes will soon be re-populated with tourism in the coming year as the current limitations of the pandemic subside.

                    Self-Care

                    The idea of regularly practicing self-care has gained attention over recent years, and becomes even more important with the impact of the COVID-19 virus. There are numerous ways you can spend time tending to your needs to help ease the anxiety of the crisis. Taking a hot bath is a great way to physically relax your muscles with bath bombs and candles adding an extra touch.

                    Meditation helps to clear your mind and reset at the beginning or end of your day. Things like detoxifying face masks and hair treatments can also be relaxing ways to take care of yourself during a stressful time. While you should focus on staying home as much as possible, an occasional walk to get some fresh air can also help to clear your head.

                    CBD

                    In recent years, CBD products have become a popular way to de-stress through the health benefits of reducing anxiety and increasing relaxation. Companies like Cheef Botanicals offer oils, topical rubs and edibles that are all made to deliver calming effects without the psychoactive properties of marijuana.

                    Cheef Botanicals aims to provide healthy, plant-based cannabis products as an alternative that can ease the discomfort of various conditions. Their CBD Bath Bomb is the perfect way to immerse yourself in a revitalizing aromatherapy experience, or add drops of their Full Spectrum CBD Oil to your favorite drink to absorb the benefits with each sip. The possibilities are endless for how you can use CBD to sit back, relax and enjoy a stress-relieving experience.

                    Exercise

                    With gyms, hiking trails, and even beaches closed during the pandemic, it can be difficult to stay both active and safe. Exercising at home is a great way to release stress with there being plenty of at-home workouts you can try. Whether you have equipment or you’re just working with body weight, staying at home on quarantine doesn’t have to mean getting out of shape.

                    The endorphins released through exercise can also help to set your mind at ease. Getting fresh air in a safe way is also an option, through going for a jog in your neighborhood while taking all the necessary precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
