A romantically lit spot parked on a quiet stretch of Burbank Boulevard in bohemian North Hollywood, The Good Nite boasts all the accouterment one might expect from a fashionable watering hole: There's the shiny stainless steel bar, the Art Deco sconces and damask wallpaper, the black leather bar stools, couches and cube chairs. Then, of course, there's the shiny brass pole...

Still, on a recent Sunday evening -- the bar's typically well-attended karaoke night -- the sense of a tight-knit community is evident when Pinup Girl Clothing model Amie Nicole arrives to celebrate her birthday with her BFF Masuimi Max and a posse of pinup and fetish models, including Chelsea La Vone, Cristina Tiberia, Hollywood Geisha and former "America's Next Top Model" contestant Micheline Love, who works some nights as a Good Nite bartender.

"As soon as I started coming here, it became a weekly thing," says Nicole between karaoke offerings. "I'm not normally a bar person at all. I just love this bar. Everybody's so nice, it just feels like family."
