Are you a cable cutter who struggles with securing how you’ll be able to watch your favorite awards show?
Do you love the camaraderie of watching The Bachelor with your friends?
Have you ever just wished there was the equivalent of sports bars for reality TV?
If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, you’re in luck. One of L.A.’s newest alluring rooftops has answered your prayers: the Reality Bar experience.
Videre— the bar-restaurant atop the Kimpton Hotel Wilshire that’s helmed by the same operator of Employees Only LA— has launched a watch party series that screens award shows and fan-favorite reality TV.
Surrounded by impeccable L.A. views, the Videre Reality Bar lets Angelenos BYOB (that’s bring your own blanket), sip themed cocktails and snack on the likes of popcorn and truffle fries while watching and gossiping about what’s happening on Vanderpump Rules, The Bachelor, RuPaul’s Drag Race, The Real Housewives shows and more. It all happens right in Videre’s cozy fireside lounge area.
It’s like being at a dive bar on NFL Sundays, but with a touch of glitz and glam.
What’s more, there’s no extra cost to get in, but attendees should RSVP in advance to secure a spot. It’s also recommended to arrive before the show starts so that you have plenty of time to grab a seat, settle in and order snacks and drinks. And before you leave, be sure to get your parking validated from the rooftop so that your valet cost is just $10.
See the upcoming lineup of screenings below. Future screenings will be posted on the Videre Instagram page.
