I read about Coda in a la weekly and decided to check it out with my girlfriend. We couldn't believe this place has been open for over 3 years!! I've lived in Studio City for that long and never heard of it! (The manager explained they don't advertize to keep a good crowd.) I wish we had heard about it before now. Everyone who worked there was so nice!! The bouncer was polite and friendly and we saw him turn some scary guys away. Awesome! The manager greeted us and checked to see how we were doing throughout the night. The crowd was great and everybody danced all night to the dj. We love you DJ Jolyon! This place is so loungy and cool!! The drinks are great and reasonable. The lounge areas are awesome and the back patio is great b/c you can sit, smoke and drink!! I would and will recommend this place to all my friends in Sherman Oaks and Studio City!! By the way, all the negative reviews of this place seem to come from people who can't get in, too cheap to spend five bucks on a beer or eight on a drink, or wish it was still a dive bar like it was before. If it's not your style then go to another bar!! (I would recommend the "Greenfrog" if that's what your looking for.) This place deserved the great write-up in the la weekly, and it deserves one on here too!!!
Pros: Nice staff, good crowd, cool vibe
Cons: None
