by Rebecca C. on The Girls and i enjoyed Ladies night here recently! It's a no frills type of place, which is great and the food and drinks won't "break the bank" and they are delicious! The Green Beans and French Fries with remoulade and bourbon mayo respectively were crowd pleasers for all and others enjoyed the vegan burgar, tuna steak sandwich and a regular burger! we all enjoyed our drinks and for a place that serves a lot of beer and a group that doesn't particularly love beer, they had something for everyone! Personally i was happy to see Ace Pear Cider in the bottle...most places only carry apple...so if your in the neighborhood...or not...definitely stop by...the beans will be your new best friend!
by Micah D. on I've been hitting it pretty hard since January. I guess being single has a way of bringing out the best in me. Or, perhaps the worst, depending on how you look at it. That aside, I actually went here for the first time with my boss of all people. I had plans with a mutual friend of his in the office. He invited us to dinner at Social (next door), picked up the tab, and then we headed over to BLVD 3 (as I like to shorten it) for some after dinner boozin' and groovin'. I got hammered. But before the night became a blur, I found this to be one of the better clubs in Hollywood. The space is amazing. I love the outside area which has cabanas on each side, an outdoor fireplace, rectangular pool (not for swimming), as well as a full bar. As you move inside there is a foyer that leads you into a medium sized room adorned in dark wood. There are a few chairs and tables here and there as well as another bar at one end. While there is only one bartender, this is the place to escape too if the main bar on the dance floor is too crowded. And then it happens. Walk further in and you enter a massive rectangular room with two floors. This room is probably what makes this place so appealing. The main ceiling rises about 30 feet above the dance floor. It's almost euphoric. Like the lower level, the upper is peppered with tables and plush chairs for those who wish to spend ridiculous amounts of money on small bottles of alcohol (welcome to clubbing in LA). While the upper area is often closed, it does open on big nights when they need more tables to accommodate more requests for table service. If, unlike me, your paycheck was a little too large last week and your pockets are a little too fat, I suggest attempting to reserve the table at the end of the dance floor on the ground level. If you can afford it, this would be a perfect spot for a group of 10-20 to party all night long. It's right in the mix and you are sure to find plenty of "friends" who will come by, steal some alcohol, and then immediately return to the people they came with. Oh, and if you have a confetti fetish you're in luck! When it's late and you've had too many drinks to really know what's going on, it will rain down from above. If you are still vertical and capable of holding your own drink, cover your glass. While there's probably a choking hazard listed on each piece of confetti, its too dark to read the warning. This is where common sense comes in handy. Like most clubs in Hollywood, it can be hard to get in. Along with arriving early (10-10:30 pm) a high girl to guy ratio is always a good idea. I like to call it the "ratio rule." Learn it and love it. And unless you showed up in your rented orange Murcielago shod with orange 20's sporting a black lip, stay away from table service. No matter where you go it's usually not worth the money. At the end of the night, it won't increase your chances of snagging some digits. Wait in line and use something that gets you a lot further...your charm, wit, and perfectly styled hair. Oh wait, that's me...
