This is the historic Art Deco bar inside Hollywood’s American Legion Post 43, at 2035 North Highland Avenue, just below the Hollywood Bowl.

The post was organized in 1919 by World War I veterans working in motion pictures, including Cecil B. DeMille, Walter Long and Adolph Menjou. Its present clubhouse—an unusual blend of Egyptian Revival, Moorish and Art Deco design—opened on July 4, 1929, during Prohibition. The bar playfully calls itself the “longest continuously operating speakeasy in Hollywood.”

Because Post 43 was known as the “Post to the Stars,” the room attracted generations of Hollywood veterans and entertainers. Clark Gable, Gene Autry, Mickey Rooney, Ronald Reagan, Charlton Heston and Stan Lee were among the post’s celebrated members. Humphrey Bogart was reportedly such a familiar presence at the bar that one area is still called “Bogie’s Corner.”

Much of the room’s vintage character survives: the sweeping curved counter, checkerboard floor, ribbed woodwork, mirrored back bar, streamlined columns and dramatic vaulted ceiling. It remains a private members’ bar, although it is occasionally accessible during screenings, tours and special events.

American Legion members traveling through can visit anytime it’s open to Post 43 members. You can also join if you or a family member is a veteran or was involved in World War II.

This picture was taken when the room was dressed for the January 2023 premiere of Peacock’s series Poker Face—you can see its title reflected in the mirror. The historic bar itself has appeared in productions including the 2009 Star Trek and David Bowie’s 2013 “The Next Day” music video. The clubhouse has hosted hundreds of other films, television programs, commercials and videos.

I don’t know about you, but all I can think of is the bar scene in THE SHINING!
