(Entrepreneurs) — “I hate the office,” growls Doug Ellin, the creator and executive producer of the hit HBO series Entourage. “I’d much rather do meetings in a great bar, where people aren’t nervous and you can relax and be more creative.” Even on the show, Ellin rarely allows his achingly suave characters–Hollywood actors, agents, producers and directors–to broker a deal in a boardroom. Dark bars, pulsating nightclubs and old-school lounges that serve epiphany-causing martinis are the settings for onscreen business maneuvers. “You just need to find the right place and become a regular,” says Ellin, who personally favors a sleek sports bar called Goal in Los Angeles. “I do my meetings there, back to back.”
