My friend introduced me to CODA and I've been going since.  All my work friends love it!!! The staff is awesome: they're friendly, fun to talk to, and not so bad to look at either.  The drinks are strong, yummy and affordable.  It's a lot of fun and comfortable, much better than the Hollywood scene.  The music is great, not too much of the radio crap.  I also had a great experience having a party there during New Year's.
Pros:  Drinks, Music, Staff
