After Hours At The Burgundy Room

Jon Sidel is a legendary L.A. restaurant and nightclub impresario credited with creating "a scene that gave birth to 32 bars and restaurants, transformed Hollywood, and redefined L.A. nightlife." He’s also a rock n' roll jack of all trades, who’s worked with everyone from The Sex Pistols to The White Stripes.
