by Monica G. on Green Door=Dante's Inferno. This is supposedly Hollywood's new hotspot? Yikes! First, my friend has her dinner here (party of 15-20) on a Saturday night. The server (late 50s, white hair, tall, beer belly) tricked everyone into thinking that there was a $25 minimum per order. The sleazebag just wanted to end up with a large tip. I ordered the organic chicken...which when served en masse, definitely didn't look like anything special. Tasted fine though. Cost ~$26.00. Further, two small bottles of Fiji water cost $5 each. Ha, are you kidding me? Such jerks. The bartender didn't even offer to give me a cup, he just assumed I'd like the bottled type. Crowd: disgusting (girls either had fake blonde or fake black hair), drunk, and slutty (includes gross guy, thinking he's hott, trying to talk to me). Such a joke. Hollywood needs to pick up some class. Impossible? Probably. There was way too much A/X, Rock and Republic, etc. Also, a huge line forms outside the dark (and probably disease infested) womens' restroom, since there are only two stalls. DJ not bad, though:) He played some good samples: Journey, Daft Punk, and RATM. The dj is the best thing this place has going for it. Also, the decor (though heavily under appreciated), has a Prohibition era feel, which is pretty sweet. FYI: in back of this club is Cabana Club. While the dance floor at the Green Room blends in with the seating (very small for an LA club), I hear that sometimes they open up the doors which lead to Cabana Club. I will never go back to this place. Ever. Peace out, friends.
by Harrison Kotnik on Thankfully, I know somebody that can get me in without having to wait in line bc it's so not worth waiting in it. The place is nice and big, and every time I've gone there, I liked the music selection and the drummer on the first floor plays with the flow of the music, so it just makes you get into the music all that much more. If you're into the snooty scene, this place is for you. The owner always looks people up and down before letting them through the doors. Even when I'm with the person that can get me in, he'll still scope out my outfit. Ladies and gents, you need to look fly to get in, or at least dress the part. This is the type of club where people are superficial and don't really go there to dance, they go there to drink and watch other people. Only until they've had enough to drink, will they dance. As for me, if the music is bumpin' I need to dance and I will! There are different rooms, so if you aren't vibin' the music in one room, you can easily just go into another one, and so far, I've been able to get my fix of good music here. The downfall of this place is that a lot of the people seem fake and all about the looks. The crowd is pretty diverse though. One funny thing to do when you do get in, is go outside in the front where there are tons of people outside, you'll have people begging you to somehow get them in. It's just funny, nothing against them, but really, just bc I'm in, doesn't mean I'm going to hook you up, trust me, if I had the power to do so, I would, but I'm unfit to determine the criteria of people getting in. JK. I just think it's retarded how they scope people out and if you look good, you get the green light. Maybe I should let the little girls out and bounce them around as if they're waving hello to the owner...I'm giving 3 stars bc of how they are unfair as to who gets in, who has to pay, etc. based on looks and I'm not cool with that. Like really, there are so many other 'free' spots to go to in NYC, where there isn't such a lame door policy.
