In the heart of Los Angeles’s iconic Sunset Strip, Sunset Social Club officially opened at 4:20 p.m. on June 14, introducing West Hollywood’s first private cannabis consumption lounge. Located directly across from Chateau Marmont, this 5,500-square-foot members-only venue combines the prestige of a private club with curated access to California’s most sought-after cannabis brands and hospitality experiences.
Operating under one of West Hollywood’s original cannabis licenses, Sunset Social Club redefines luxury cannabis culture with vintage-inspired interiors, strategic partnerships and immersive programming designed for tastemakers and connoisseurs alike.
“As someone who’s been part of the California cannabis community for years, I can honestly say there’s nothing else like this open right now,” said Chris Folkerts, partner at Sunset Social Club and CEO of Grenco Science. “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 and deep Hollywood roots, Sunset Social Club’s interiors showcase hand-picked furniture, gallery-quality art, and a “lived-in luxury” feel inspired by old Hollywood. The lounge includes:
- A spacious, luxe consumption area
- An outdoor patio garden for socializing and smoking
- Secure lockers for members
- A private parking lot with 200 spaces, rare for West Hollywood and ideal for VIPs seeking discretion
“We wanted to create a space where cannabis consumers can relax, connect and be inspired with a sense of privacy and exclusivity that’s increasingly rare in today’s hyper-connected world,” Sara said.
