THE WILD restaurant and bar, co-owned by glam singer Adam Lambert, is now open in the City of West Hollywood in time for the WeHo Halloween Carnaval. The new bar located at 8945 Santa Monica Boulevard, was recently approved for a temporary liquor license, which is valid for 4 months, beginning on October 19, 2023, and ending on February 15, 2024. They opened their doors at 5pm this evening to what they are calling a soft opening to give the new hot spot a test run during Halloween.
THE WILD is the name of the new restaurant coming to the former Saint Felix WeHo space in the heart of West Hollywood’s LGBT Rainbow District, which closed this past September after being open for roughly 14 years. THE WILD is co-owned by Adam Lambert and Roger Taylor the drummer of the band Queen.


The bar is full, the Halloween decor is up, and a go-go dancer is on display at West Hollywood’s newest nightlife venue on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Robertson Boulevard.
According to a source, they are testing things out for Halloween, and they plan to close again after the big Carnaval celebration to add some finishing touches before they have a grand opening in the near future.


Construction work has been ongoing inside the new bar these past few weeks in preparation for the big Halloween party, which is one of West Hollywood’s biggest nights of the year, next to WeHo Pride.
The City of West Hollywood’s iconic Halloween Carnaval is back this year. Halloween in West Hollywood is anticipated to draw thousands of costumed revelers to the City’s Rainbow District along Santa Monica Boulevard on October 31, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. In addition, there will be Halloween celebrations at West Hollywood’s one-of-a-kind bars, restaurants, clubs, hotels, entertainment venues, and more on Halloween and during the preceding weekend.
The City of West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval is free to attend and open to the public. It will be a one-mile stretch of Historic Route 66 along Santa Monica Boulevard between N. Doheny Drive and N. La Cienega Boulevard. The event will feature a stage at the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and N. San Vicente Boulevard with a live DJ set, food trucks, and thousands of wildly dressed people in Halloween costumes for a one-of-a-kind experience.

Congratulations Adam on Your New Restaurant&Bar I’m Super Duper Excited for. You
We Hope to See You Soon
Hope they work out the kinks. Stopped by with a couple friends on Friday night and the music was SO SO loud, you literally had to yell at the person next to you. We didn’t stay
I wish one of these many bars was a place that you could go with friends and actually sit and talk over a drink. We don’t have that anymore.
“As a local resident, I believe that our community would greatly benefit from the addition of more upscale bars. While we appreciate the existing establishments, having more options that cater to a sophisticated crowd would enhance the overall atmosphere and attract a diverse range of patrons. It’s important to create a balanced and inclusive environment that meets the preferences of all residents. By introducing upscale bars, we can elevate the neighborhood and provide a new and exciting experience for locals and visitors alike.” I agree, we don’t need anymore go go dancers and loud music the Blvd smells like urine,… Read more »
We are lacking diversity on the boulevard. They are all doing the same thing. Would be nice if someone came along and did something different…for sure.
CONGRTULATIONS ADAM .
Glad they pushed to be open for the Halloween festival and super glad Adam is making this a gay bar with go go dancers. Need to keep weho, weho. Can’t wait to try it.
A restaurant with a go-go dancer..something new and different.
Not sure if that’s sarcasm but it’s Halloween weekend. They probably want the party-goers to enjoy some fun eye-candy.
