Restaurant Spotlight: Hotel Ziggy’s B Side in Los Angeles
Fusing cocktail lounge, pizza joint, music venue and lobby, Hotel Ziggy invites hotel guests to check-in at a sociable and engaging bar lined with hundreds of vinyl albums. A record player behind the front desk fills the communal space with music spanning every progressive genre. A retractable glass garage door partitions one end of the lobby, creating a versatile music venue called “Backbeat,” which supports local musicians and invites them to come and share their sound in a new space to rise above the noise. Hotel Ziggy boasts the largest saltwater pool in West Hollywood, which is another platform to democratize music with live sets performed by notable and up & coming DJs. With celebrities constantly through their doors like Delilah Belle, Amelia Gray, Zac Efron, Emile Hirsch, Dave Navarro, Matt Sorum, James Kennedy, Ariana Madix, Audrina Patridge, Tori Spelling, Kelly Osbourne and King Bach, Hotel Ziggy has created a buzz all its own.
In the playful spirit of LA’s first iconic record store and precursor to the original Tower Records, Licorice Pizza, a casual dining concept named “B-side Pizza” fronts Sunset Boulevard. The pizza joint harkens back to mid-century carhops with an old school pick-up window that allows locals to order to-go with concierge service and style. A custom neon-wrapped 9-inch vinyl album solidifies the retro theme.
Available from breakfast till dinner, the new menu at Hotel Ziggy includes classic favorites like their signature Breakfast Burrito, Buttermilk Pancakes, to lunch and dinner favorites like Marinated Olives, Rosemary Focaccia, Fried Chicken Sliders, Summer Beet Salad, Thai Chili Ribs, Parmesan Truffle Fries, Smash Burger, Thai Chili Ribs, Hot Cheetos Mac N’ Cheese Balls, and Gourmet Pizza (8 different flavors from Cacio E Pepe to Meat Lovers, and 9 if you include their dessert pizza!!) Ziggy also features an extensive specialty cocktail, liquor, wine and beer menu. View here: https://qr.imenupro.com/tad-u.
Layers of decoupage walls and ceilings celebrate musicians of past and present. A collection of memorabilia includes framed legal documents highlighting decades of lawsuits between musicians, producers and streamers with the intent of asking the controversial question, “Who really owns the music?” Hotel Ziggy’s goal is to trigger lively conversations and in doing so, connect people. Its position is clear for all to hear: “Free the music!”

Conceptualized by the international award-winning design team of Dawson Design Associates (DDA), every element of the space is designed to honor and support the rebellious and independent attitude of musicians’ fight to be heard. Powerful street murals wrap the front exterior of the building, the courtyard surrounding the pool, and the main lobby spaces, together expressing the vitality and rebelliousness of the music scene. A comfortable and informal mix of modern and vintage furniture sits on top of rustic hardwood floors and worn oriental area rugs, creating a space designed to chill.
Hotel Ziggy hosts weekly events at night, including comedy performers and their live music showcase, WFNM (We Found New Music), which helps introduce buzzed about local talent every Monday and Tuesday. See what events Hotel Ziggy has going on now: https://hotelziggy.com/music-events/
