by Arthur Finical on I'll start with the good: -The ambiance/decor is beautiful and unique -Our bartender made me a specialty gin drink not on the menu that was delicious (gin and cucumber! yum!) -Our table server was really nice The bad: -Every other drink I tried from the menu was not good and very expensive. -The food was mediocre (the "Perfect Grilled Cheese" was not perfect) -The security people are jerks. My friend had to be escorted out for sneaking in wearing **gasp** CONVERSE. Again, he was escorted out like a criminal by two scary looking guys and the manager, who said "We don't appreciate people disrespecting our dress code." If you want great cocktails, head to the Tar Pit in Hollywood. I can see how some people can put up with the BS and have a good time, but The Edison is just not for me.
by Earnest Harvat on Hi All, If you are a normal person, you may not want to come here. It is ODD! 1st of all, it is very exclusive and quite difficult to get in. I am surprised i got in...being a hippie type person- but i was witht he right people. It is small with a southern/new orleans style of architecture (though I am no architect- but it reminds me of NOLA). There are tables and a dance floor, and an upstairs to do whatever you want. This is a very liberal place...so if you are easily offended by sex,drugs and language...don't go. The bar is super expensive...i spent $30 for 1 drink...and $100 for 4 shots of decent alcohol. I like top shelf ....so get liquored up prior to coming. And a table cost roughly $3000...so prepare to stand! Now the performances are mostly amazing burlesque style. The performers the night i went were excellent. Except one act i was very offended with, but at least i wasnt in the range to get hit by..what appeared to be a she-male peeing. I would display pictures of the place, but they dont allow cameras. Even though i have some pics, out of respect for the establishment, i will not post and just keep these private. I enjoyed the clientèle too... a nice cross section of the underbelly and weirdness of the new york city. I highly recommend going there if you can. Even just once, you'll understand why this place is a must see place to be. However, I don't think i need to go again, unless I know I am getting in. - MSZ
