Adam Lambert, Roger and Sarina Taylor, Bryan Patrick Franklin and Michael Solis officially announced what is already widely known that they have joined forces to open The Wild, an intimate and enchanting new bar located in the heart of West Hollywood at 8945 Santa Monica Blvd. The official grand opening to the public is this coming Friday, November 17. Inspired by the lush, tropical jungles of Tulum, The Wild aims to craft unforgettable experiences through specialty cocktails, regional cuisine, and a sensual audio and visual ambience.
Of their new endeavor, Lambert, The Taylors, and Franklin said: “We are thrilled to be partnering on this exciting new venture. We look forward to seeing you unleash your wild side!”
Last night, The Wild hosted an exclusive VIP, invitation only opening celebration for family and friends. The entrance was walled off so that guests had some privacy. The guest list included Chris Colfer, Colton Haynes, Gottmik, Julian Morris, Shaun Ross, Violet Chachki and more who got a sneak preview into the bar’s offerings such as Casa Dragones sipping tequila and signature craft cocktails while surrounded by the sounds of DJ Mike Taylor.

So, it’s certainly not gonna be a restaurant.
Saw in the narrative they will be serving “regional cuisine”…..
Yes, I saw that they mentioned food but clearly from the looks of it it is not going to be a restaurant but more of a bar that has food. Was hoping for a restaurant since everything in that little area is turning into a bar or a club there’s really no diversity of commercial space down there anymore. Shame.
Hell no there’s certainly was no cuisine going on last night and my vodka thought it was $18 so prepare for the prices!!!
Love the journalist adaptation of the city. I love WeHo.
Does GRID on their step & repeat banner stand for Gay Related Immunodeficiency? ( the name before AIDS)
I assumed it stood for great rhomb-iosci-dodechaedron, more commonly known as a truncated icosidodecahedron, which as we all know is an archimedean solid.
Hopefully they keep the place up. Celebrities seem to come into town, have some splashy fun, and then the place deteriorates. The “Heart” sign across the building has had several lines broken for a year looking run-down.
This place is going to be “wild”!
