The Standard Offering Free Summer Events

No need to empty your wallets on the Sunset Strip this summer. The Standard hotel offers everything from unplugged performances to a poolside BBQ at no cost.

Summer in West Hollywood comes with three things that are an almost guarantee to residents and visitors each year—sunshine, great people and amazing events. From a concert at the to an exciting dinner at restaurant, the city offers an extensive list of things to do during the scorching days and warm nights.

To make the most of Weho’s guarantees, The Standard at 8300 Sunset Blvd. has created great free events to increase traffic in its chic locations, support local talent, and to give a little back to those around them. Offering unique concert sets, poolside BBQs, and artist installations, the hotel is bringing out the best in nightlife culture.

I’ve attended a few of their events, including the weekly Desert Nights concert series in the Cactus Lounge, and thought it was a fun addition to my busy work week. The series highlights creative and unique artists in various genres performing in an intimate setting.

In the Cactus Lounge, you get the chance to feel the sensitivity of the artists’ music in a cozy environment with a great view of the hotel pool and hills. The concerts are a perfect way to enjoy your night after work with friends or as one of those haphazard events your stumble upon while walking down Sunset Boulevard.

To add to the unplugged performances on Wednesday nights, The Standard also holds acoustic sets, ping pong, and BBQ alongside the pool on Saturday afternoons, with Brazilian bingo on Sunday evenings. The events will get you out of the house and enjoying the city atmosphere.
