New thing of the day, made our way to The Edison in downtown LA.
It's a very cool place - and not in that obnoxious pretentious way. It's a semi-historical place with original Edison generators and 20s style decor and themes.
I absolutely LOVED how the place was decorated. We came in at about 9:20 before a line started outside, and you have to walk downstairs to get to the club. The smoking room is very cool and the downstairs club/bars are amazing as well. Dress code is more formal and even the bouncers and security look very classy. When we came in there was a fairy selling absinthe. There were a few couples dressed all 20s style and swing dancing in the middle all place. They had old silent movies playing in the background and there was a stage where a burlesque dancer danced every 45 minutes or so. We went to the bar and got good fast service. I tried a Mistress Nouveaux - a champagne twist for vodka martini lovers. It was pretty tasty. Overall, the place was a lot of fun and had an amazing atmosphere!
This is one of my favorite LA spots now. It's not super loud so you can talk with your friends. If you want to sit down you have to spend $25 a person at various reserved sections. Drinks average $9-15. They also offer food - also pricey. Overall it's pricier for our taste, but not bad for a hip LA club. I would happily and easily go back again, maybe dressed a little better :)
I've been DYING to check out the Edison! Marie swears it's awesome, and I've been wanting to go for ages! Will have to make more of an effort now. We should make a special "Welcome 2011" trip sometime in January.
ReplyDeleteIt is AWESOME! I think we should go on a no cover night, $5 parking half a block away, and go early before 9:30 pm to avoid standing outside in a line. A definite yes :) After finals once again :) Anytime before start of next semester in January too would be fun!
