La Descarga is a Cuban speakeasy bar that puts you in the the mood to sip rum and dance the night away, transporting you to a hot Havana night. With a name that means ‘the after party’ and a stockpile of pricey rum, this Cuban-themed speakeasy lounge conjures pre-Fidel late-night Havana in a yet-to-be-gentrified southeastern swath of Hollywood; advance reservations are required to get into the tiny, faux-patina’ed space, which is reached after scaling a mysterious stairway and detecting a secret door hidden in an ersatz office; N.B. stogies are sold on the adjoining cigar patio.
