More West Hollywood Cannabis Lounges

Last verified: March 2026

Beyond the Headliners

The Original Cannabis Cafe, The Woods, and The Artist Tree get most of the press coverage, but West Hollywood's consumption lounge scene extends well beyond those three venues. The lounges on this page represent the next wave of cannabis hospitality — concepts that push the model in new directions: members-only exclusivity, massive multi-use campuses, intimate bar-style service, and modern speakeasy design.

Together with the headline venues, these lounges make West Hollywood's "Emerald Village" the most developed cannabis hospitality district in the world.

Sunset Social Club

8228 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood

Sunset Social Club is the most exclusive cannabis venue in America. It is the first members-only cannabis consumption club in the country, operating on a model explicitly inspired by Soho House — the private members' club chain that has defined a certain tier of creative-industry social life in cities worldwide. Membership costs $420 per month (the number is, obviously, intentional).

The location could not be more LA: directly across Sunset Boulevard from the Chateau Marmont, the legendary hotel that has served as a second living room for Hollywood's elite since the 1920s. The club opened in June 2025 and immediately positioned itself as the cannabis world's answer to the question, "What does high-end members-only social consumption look like?"

What $420 Per Month Gets You

Sunset Social Club offers its members a private environment where cannabis consumption is the norm rather than the exception. The club features curated product selections, private event programming, and the kind of controlled-access atmosphere that Soho House, the Waverly Inn, and similar venues have proven the creative class will pay for. The monthly fee filters the crowd, ensuring a consistent experience and avoiding the tourist-heavy atmosphere that can characterize open-access lounges.

For visitors to LA who cannot commit to a monthly membership, Sunset Social Club reportedly offers guest passes through existing members. If you know someone, this is the most exclusive cannabis experience in the city. If you do not, the other venues on this page are fully accessible.

PleasureMed Irie Lounge

7715 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood

PleasureMed Irie Lounge operates on a scale that dwarfs every other cannabis venue in WeHo — and possibly the country. The facility is a 50,000-square-foot campus that combines a dispensary, restaurant, and cocktail bar (THC cocktails, no alcohol) under one roof. To put 50,000 square feet in context: that is roughly the size of a typical grocery store, or about eight times the footprint of the Original Cannabis Cafe.

The campus model means PleasureMed can accommodate different experiences simultaneously. You can shop at the dispensary, eat at the restaurant, drink THC-infused cocktails at the bar, and consume cannabis in the lounge area — all without leaving the building. For visitors who want a full evening's worth of activities in a single venue, PleasureMed's scale offers something no other lounge can.

The Restaurant + Cocktail Bar

PleasureMed's restaurant and THC cocktail bar take full advantage of AB 1775's provisions. The food program goes beyond appetizers and snacks to a full menu, and the cocktail bar serves THC-infused drinks that are designed to mimic the bar experience without alcohol. The combination of dining, drinking (THC), and cannabis consumption creates a venue that functions like a complete evening-out destination.

Private Reserve

Behind Off The Charts, 8448 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood

Private Reserve positions itself as the "most intimate" consumption lounge in West Hollywood — a deliberate counterpoint to the scale of PleasureMed and the event-driven energy of The Artist Tree. The lounge is located behind the Off The Charts dispensary, creating a speakeasy-like discovery element: you enter through the dispensary and find the lounge in the back.

The centerpiece is a U-shaped bar where customers sit and consume cannabis with guidance from personal budtenders. The bar format encourages conversation — both with staff and with other patrons — and the intimate scale means you are never lost in a crowd. If The Woods is for garden relaxation and The Artist Tree is for events, Private Reserve is for the bar experience: sitting at a counter, talking to a knowledgeable person, and discovering new products in a social but low-key setting.

IYKYK by Urbn Leaf

8487 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood

IYKYK — "If You Know, You Know" — is a modern speakeasy concept from the Urbn Leaf dispensary brand, situated on Sunset Strip. The name and the design both lean into the speakeasy tradition: a sense of discovery, a curated-not-advertised atmosphere, and the feeling that you have found something not everyone knows about.

The Sunset Strip location puts IYKYK in the heart of LA's most famous nightlife corridor, surrounded by the clubs, hotels, and restaurants that have defined Hollywood nightlife for decades. The speakeasy concept fits naturally into a strip where hidden bars and members-only venues are part of the fabric. For visitors who want a cannabis lounge that feels like a night-out destination rather than a dispensary with chairs, IYKYK delivers the atmosphere.

Choosing the Right Lounge

Practical Notes for All Lounges

• Age: 21+ with valid government-issued photo ID at every venue
• No alcohol: California law prohibits cannabis and alcohol at the same venue. THC beverages are available at most lounges.
• No BYO: You purchase cannabis on-site at each lounge. Outside cannabis is generally not permitted.
• Transportation: Do not drive after consuming. All these venues are within rideshare or walking distance of each other on Santa Monica Blvd and Sunset Blvd.
• All venues are in West Hollywood: Not LA city proper. If someone tells you there is a consumption lounge in Hollywood, DTLA, or Santa Monica, verify carefully — it is likely in WeHo.
