Unfortunately, this establishment did not meet expectations. Bruno, the host, did not follow responsible guidelines and his customer relations sense was lacking. Hope the club follows customary procedures next time. Looking forward to an improvement of the standards.

What a welcome at the entrance !!!
What kind of rude people you put to represent yourself at the door??English man at the door super rude and aggressive with me, a woman, for no reason.
People don't go out at night to get attacked for free by random people at the door.
I just read the others reviews left and apparently it's common treatment here. You should be ashamed how you treat people. Such violence and attitude for no reason. That's the image you create of your self. If the owners doesn't do anything after all this reviews it's because he is good with his employees mistreating people at the door this way.

“We have a very strict door policy and management reserves the right to refuse entry.”

Meaning if you dont look a certain way .. cough cough ?? . You are not allowed in regardless if you have a reserved table.

If you would like to go to a small outdated club with the most rude security and want to be belittled then this is the place for you

Went to this spot recently to see if it was true about the abusive door n rude staff...

Well ...
Unfortunately it is a fact....
If your not part or what they think is hip...
Your screwed to even get in...
N service is ok, but for the money you spend..
Hell! any decent dive bar has far better customer service...

Their discriminatory practices may not just be rude n unpleasant...
But actually illegal...
N with a liquor license, that doesn't go over well with ABC .....

Going to visit a old school mate this coming week who is with ABC n speak to him about the goings on there....
May not do anything n it may sink the ship..
We'll see...
Reason I'm looking into this is....
I hate Euro Trash acting as if their something special in the states...
If they were special.....
They'd be in their own country ..
Especially the French...
Grew up in western ?? ..
Don't have much love for "Frogs"

Yeah i know it's not a nice term...
But far sweeter than the smack the door people n staff talk about patrons ...

Toxic place
Stay away
If you have any class at all....

We reserved a table here to celebrate a few of us passing the bar exam. We were told it was an exclusive club and that there was a $2k minimum (no problem). We wanted something different, not Warwick or the regular go-tos, considering it was a special day. When we arrived, we were greeted by possibly the rudest staff I’ve ever encountered in LA. They selectively spoke French in front of their guests, except we are all fluent Spanish speakers and could make out the awful comments that were made. The people in front of us were not allowed in, despite having a reservation, because a blonde woman in a slicked back bun looked at each person up and down and said “no.” I’ve seen that happen at clubs before but not the way she did it. It was comically rude and shocking. Despite witnessing this, we still gave the place the benefit of the doubt. When we got to the front of the line, we overheard the same blonde woman ask a bald guy in French, “who would leave the house in that” referring to my friend’s pink dress. The blonde woman proceeded to roll her eyes when the promoter said we were allowed in.

Once inside, the bottle service girls seemed to either hate their jobs or our group. There were no smiles or attempts to make us feel comfortable the entire time that we were there, despite purchasing multiple bottles. After a while we wondered if the issue was that we weren’t white Europeans, but of Mexican descent. We’ll never know but that’s exactly how it felt the entire night. We were made to feel unwelcome and the staff seemed genuinely bothered by having to serve us. They actually made us feel awkward every time they came around. Further, the club is about the size of a large conference room and the bathroom has only 2 stalls. They also have a man working inside the closet that is the woman’s restroom..a little odd but he at least had manners.

The DJ was decent and when we ignored the blatantly classless staff, we managed to enjoy ourselves. However, as we left, the blonde woman made two additional comments under her breath about the way women in my group were dressed. I’ve never experienced a bottle service girl that is allowed to walk around insulting paying customers, or one that follows them as they leave the club to make passive comments but wow did she feel comfortable acting like she owned the place…

I’ve checked the reviews and the rude staff/racially charged discrimination appears to be an ongoing issue with this place. We will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Was told it was guest list only and that’s their policy! Except it says nothing about that on the website!
