Drunken Boss Karaoke Lounge Part of La Defense

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Just noticed this sign today on Serrano Avenue — Drunken Boss under La Defense Restaurant and Karaoke. From what I gather, the Asian fusion restaurant is La Defense, and they’re rebranding the karaoke lounge as Drunken Boss.

La Defense Restaurant and Drunken Boss Karaoke Bar


DRUNKEN BOSS OPENING SPECIAL
소주한병만시키셔도 5가지 안주가 공짜

Even if you  order just one bottle of soju,
you get five different anjoo (small appetizers) free!

Korean Name: 드렁큰보스 (transliteration of “Drunken Boss”)
HOURS OPEN:  Monday-Sunday, 5:00 pm – 2:00 am
ADDRESS: 3701 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010
PHONE NUMBER: (213) 384-9500

It may be a good idea if you had a Korean friend with you, spoke a little Korean, or have some patience should you go…  But once the top’s off that soju bottle and you’ve got the mic in hand, nothing else should matter.
