Flavorwire recently dug up some impressive photos of the ultra-swank nightclubs of the Rat Pack era, which offer a peek into the original—not the reinterpreted—Old Hollywood: at Ciro's, a club on West Hollywood's Sunset Strip, thick fabric coats the walls, candelabras held up by pudgy cherubim dot the premises, and crowded tabletops nearly rub up against each other, creating a slightly noir aesthetic that begs for a big band to take the stage. Below, more Tinseltown flamboyance.
