Great local farm to table restaurant and if you call in advance, they'll do a vegan option.

This place is not a functioning bar, it is only available for booking events. Don't believe the hours Yelp is posting here, they are not open for drinks at these hours. Only giving one star to get attention to this problem, I'm sure it's a nice place for private events

Love the vibe truly unique. Great for a date or any occasion where a little retro CLASS and art is desired.

One of my favorite places in LA for a date night or night out in the city with friends. Great ambiance, food, drinks, and I love that we get our table for the whole night and can get up and walk around and explore the restaurant which feels like an industrial art gallery. The burlesque dancers come on a little late so plan accordingly, you don't want to miss the shows! This place is always so fun. The music is a bit loud so not a place if you want to sit for quiet chats. It's more of an exciting upbeat place with good energy.

Love, Love, Love! The Edison. An acquaintance of ours used to manage it, so we for sure had top-notch service and fun every time. the food is SUPER! The table behind the DJ booth is awesome- though not the best spot for a show - we'd move to the floor to watch. And those shows are sooooo much fun! A real throw back to Empire Boardwalk, or anywhere you can imagine in old school Manhattan (only right here in LA!) We just love the vibe and the history of the building. Dress code is jacket+ and security is not messing around, so don't try rollin' in in your sneakers and shorts. Be sure to take a look around the whole place - there's so much to see in little nooks and crannies. Very much on the pricey side, it's an expensive night out, but treat yourself. One of those places you have to go to at least once. Parking off alley - real close. Enjoy!

This has got to be one of my favorite nightlife spots in Los Angeles! It's a 1920s dream! If you're looking for something unique, classy (hello vintage!), visually stimulating, with great drinks and free entertainment (this was one of my favorite spots in LA to perform!)- you have to visit The Edison.The ambiance is everything. It's like a turn of the century, electric, moody, speakeasy vibe. I can't even really find the words to describe it, you just have to go. The space is pretty big with lots of different rooms to mingle in and the staff are wonderful. Just an all around great time.

This place is really cool. It's like an old electric company warehouse and the drinks are bomb. The crowd can be a little weird...so a little FYI. BUT- it's definitely worth checking out for the experience if you haven't been before.

This is hands-down one of my favorite speakeasies in Los Angeles! Every time I go there I am transported back to the 1920s and can enjoy an original daiquiri just like Gerald Fitzpatrick would! The staff is very friendly and accommodating and I honestly recommend going earlier in the evening rather than later. They also have a free show. And get this there is also a lady that dresses up as the absinthe and has absinthe shots available for purchase! I can't wait for it to open up again and I really hope that they don't go out of business waiting to be available for the public again!
Beautiful place, great music and service but a bit over priced. $16/drink....not necessary to gouge like that. It's a place where people go to drink, don't have to charge such steep prices.
Bad management. Cancelled reservation last min, 2 hours before because of: „a sudden private event that booked out the whole venue“. Ruined my birthday celebration that so had planned there. Never again!

We booked our reservation through Open Table to bring out of town guests too. We went all the way into downtown LA had to pay $20 for parking showed up and were told the entire place was closed for a private event that night. The bouncer was very nice and apologized. What a disappointment.

We showed up on time for our reservation....the hostess downstairs had gone home for the evening. They took about 30 min to find someone to seat us. We finally got a table and it took about another 20 mins just to get a menu dropped in front of us. The waitress passed by at least 5 times before she even said a word.....That's just the first half....now the food......The Truffle Mac and Cheese looked like it sat in the window for to long, the cheese topping was cold and hard....it lacked any essence of truffle and the pasta was undercooked....the Kobe sliders were tough to eat through and lacked any seasoning..at least offer salt at the table of the chef lacks any interest in tasting the food before it even reaches the pass...the fries were the only decent item. Dessert was a bust and lacked any effort.....if your going to put a twist on a classic Elvis delight at least to it some justice....Lacked flavor, execution and over all presentation....The cocktails were executed great....Now Dress Code.....This place used to bring some elegance and style to DTLA...More than half the guys in the building were wearing ripped jeans, sneakers and no collar shirts...it matched the music the dj was playing...there used to be a good blend of genres and yet it lacked anything remotely to what was played in the past.....overall Anniversary Dinner/Date night was a bust!

Love everything about this place but my favorite is the remains of the old powerplant.
