Hollywood Nightclubs

Guest · Posted: 09/11/06

Geisha House is a sushi restaurant with a lively bar scene. The A three-tiered fireplace is the centerpiece of the dining room while the plasma TVs dominate the bar. Other than the crowd, of course, which crowds in here.. (6633 Hollywood Blvd, 323-460-6300). Between Mood and Geisha House is an old Hollywood legend, Book City; unfortunately, it doesn't fit in the modern times and will soon close.

Garden of Eden (LaBrea and Hollywood) is one of the trendy dance clubs. Owned by the Mood creator, has a very picky doorman; girls will usually get in within 15-20 minutes while it guys can wait more than hour. If they are admitted at all. Wear black and be patient! Once inside, it's a young crowd, mainly 21-25, each of whom paid $15-25 for entrance.
7080 Hollywood Blvd (at LaBrea). (323) 465-3336.

The Ivar is a restaurant/bar/club with an industrial look and feel and a hot-looking crowd. Most of the peo;e are standing outside but o get in, get there by 9 or at least 9:30. If you get stuck, the pizza place next door has pretty good social action.
6356 Hollywood Blvd 1st Floor. (323)465-4827

CineSpace is an upscale restaurant, bar and screening room showing movie classics. The front bar is for the scene, the screening room for couples and diners. Movies – think dinner and a flick – start at 7:30 with the DJ coming on at about 10. CineSpace is located upstairs in the same building as Ivar.
6356 Hollywood Blvd. (323) 654-1268.

The Highlands is a fairly new club that gained immediate success. Located on the fourth and fifth floor of Hollywood & Highland, it has four decks and has hosted movie premier parties and other VIP events.
6801 Hollywood Blvd. (323) 461-9800.

Those curious about the "get down and dirty" Crush Bar – a local legend with 70s and 80s music – will be disappointed to learn it is closed. In its place now is White Lotus, an Asian-themed bar and restaurant brought to Hollywood by the Sunset Room and Pig 'N Whistle owner.It has two dance floors, a patio and VIP area (of course). In grand Hollywood tradition, it opened to celebrity-filled fanfare.Like many places here, go for dinner to avoid the huge lines that form later.
1743 Cahuenga Blvd. (323) 654-1268.

The Palace has re-opened as Avalon and is open for now only on Fridays for a New York-style disco (starts 10 p.m.).It's huge buildingis full of history for theater, TV shows (Jerry Lewis, Merv Griffin among others) and bands. On the top of Avalon is Spider Club, which has a smokin' good-looking crowd. It's almost twin VIP rooms, each with a DJ and dance floor and bar; one is more intimate and the other is larger.
1735 Vine. (323) 462-3000.

For the trendy-seeking, Xes (sex spelled backward and pronounced "excess") has go-go dancers on poles and shows videos of girls in bikinis smashing bugs and such which, for some reason we're not quite capable of comprehending, is all the rage for some folks. Tuesdays are hosted by an adult film company, Wednesdays are 80s, Thursdays are Top 40 dance and weekends are for it all (call ahead).
1716 N. Cahuenga Blvd. (323) 461-8191

On the edge of town is a dance club with a Latin flair, the Rhumba Room. Wade your way through the high schoolers at Universal's City Walk on a Friday night to this packed and fun bar. Start with dinner and drinks at TuTu Tango Cafe.
TuTu Tango (818)769-2222
Rhumba Room (818) 622-1222

Club Circus and the Arena is a gay and bisexual club with three dance floors, heavy on Latin music and features guest DJs. Actually they are two clubs located right next to each other. On Fridays, though, a promotion called Red at Arena draws in a huge mostly Asian straight crowd of post-rave progressive house and trance featuring local DJs. Cover is $20, or $10 before 10 p.m. (323) 692-3533.
6655 Santa Monica Blvd (at Highland). Circus: (323) 462-1291

Club One Seven is an Under-21 dance club at Hollywood & Highland, open only on weekends, $20 cover. 6801 Hollywood Blvd. (323) 462-4172.

Take a walk on the wild side: Cinematic is an S&M club in West Hollywood. Located two blocks West of Fairfax on Santa Monica Blvd., the building rotates themes each night. Saturday is S&M night which, for those not eager to participate, makes for great people-watching. Or, you can check out Deep where sex is definitely in the air. In fact, the owner was quoted in a local publication as saying his club "pushes the envelope in terms of sexuality, decadence, voyeurism." Male and female dancers perform R-rated shows to encourage the sexuality, decadence and voyeurism of the patrons.
Deep: 1707 N. Vine (Hollywood and Vine). (323) 462-1144.

After Hours

For those who would rather schmooze than lose another bar opportunity, At the Factory has after-hours activity on Saturdays. It's a mix of people – straight, gays, black, white, Asians, you name it – who dance to high-energy house music. It goes from 2:30 until 8 in the morning. Cover is $15-20.
652 N. La Peer Dr., West Hollywood. (310) 659-4551.

the club scene has changed somewhat in hollywood

- harder to get into 21+ clubs with fake id due to the fact that almost all clubs swipe id's at the door, before very few would do it

- some of the 18+ clubs are becoming more of a coc* fest *cough* florentine gardens *cough*

- clubs are more serious now about not selling alcohol to minors, due the fact that they don't want to risk their liquor license getting revoked
