Sunset Social Club officially opened its doors at 4:20 p.m. on June 14, 2025, marking the debut of West Hollywood’s first luxury cannabis consumption lounge. Located on the famous Sunset Strip, directly across from the iconic Chateau Marmont, this exclusive 5,500-square-foot venue is designed for members only, offering a unique blend of premium cannabis brands and upscale hospitality.
The lounge operates under one of West Hollywood’s original cannabis licenses and aims to elevate the local cannabis culture through a combination of vintage-inspired design and curated experiences. Chris Folkerts, a partner at Sunset Social Club and CEO of Grenco Science, emphasized that the lounge is unlike any other cannabis venue currently available. He stated, “This has been five years in the making. We’re not just another dispensary or lounge; we’re building a community around premium cannabis culture.”
Designed by Pantera Sara, known for her vintage aesthetic, the lounge features hand-selected furniture, gallery-quality art, and an ambiance reminiscent of old Hollywood. Key features of the Sunset Social Club include: – A spacious consumption area for members. – An outdoor patio garden for social gatherings. – Secure lockers for personal belongings. – A private parking lot with 200 spaces, providing convenience and discretion for VIPs.
The membership fee is set at $420 per month, which includes several exclusive perks: – A monthly perk credit that offers members a curated selection of cannabis products, gourmet food and beverages, and merchandise unique to the lounge. Unused credits do not roll over, promoting regular visits. – Access to a cannabis mixology bar featuring infused cocktails. – Gourmet small bites prepared by a Michelin-trained chef. – A comprehensive coffee program managed by Be Bright Coffee, with founder Frank La personally training the staff. – VIP access to exclusive events, private performances, and brand activations. – Discounts at popular Los Angeles restaurants and nightlife venues. – Priority access to private screenings at the Chinese Theater.
Operating hours for Sunset Social Club are: – Sunday to Thursday: 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. – Friday and Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. – Weekend hours may extend to 4 a.m. pending city approval.
The lounge partners with renowned cannabis brands such as 710 Labs, Alien Labs, Jungle Boys, and Kiva, among others. Many of these brands have planned large activations and intimate events within the lounge to engage members and showcase new products. The lounge will also incorporate immersive experiences involving Grenco Science and Stündenglass, offering signature cannabis cocktail experiences and exclusive glassware presentations.
Sunset Social Club is not only a lounge but also aims to create a far-reaching cannabis hospitality network akin to Soho House, with plans for future locations in other legal markets. The venue incorporates a flexible event space designed for live performances and curated member programming, merging cannabis culture with Los Angeles’s vibrant nightlife.
With previous venues like Cannabis Cafe closing, Sunset Social Club serves as a vital addition to Los Angeles’s cannabis hospitality scene. It offers a legal, exclusive space for consumers looking for a private and upscale environment. “This is Sunset. This is Hollywood,” Sara remarked. “We built something people can be proud to belong to with comfort, design, exclusivity, and great cannabis at its core.”
