by Buster Heil on Loud, obnoxious, trendy, and filled with the beautiful -- and the not-so-beautiful who THINK they're beautiful. See those guys over there who are desperately trying to come off as power players in the movie industry, even though they've been nursing those rum and Cokes for the past half hour? Yeah -- one is a shift supervisor at Banana Republic, another is a part-timer at Pinkberry, and the tall one lives with his parents and is in his seventh year at L.A. Valley College. I think they're working on a screenplay (and who isn't?) that they think is groundbreaking comedy. Yes. It's a rip-off of The Office or some crap like that. And those girls over there, who say they're models? Yeah, they're just tramps. How do I know? Don't ask! Don't come if you're hungry and want to eat, though the food is okay. Pricey, yeah -- but you already knew that. The drinks are better -- they're pricey too, but a cheap drink must always be looked upon askance. XIV doesn't disappoint on the alcohol front, especially in regard to mojitos and margaritas. Expensive, and they taste that way. You'll be so tipsy you'll forget that the service is hit or miss, mostly miss, and sometimes flat out Miss Bitch. Sit on the veranda and you can listen to cars honking and police sirens on Sunset, and also a medley of embarrassing 1980s hair metal. Why am I spending so much space writing about the atmo? Because that's what this place is, mostly. In my opinion, anyway... -- Come to see, and be seen. Be whoever you want to be, baby. It's LA! You can even try to be yourself. There are lots of other cool people around XIV if you're patient and willing to wade through the waves of Hollywood fakes, flakes, and phonies jonesin' for your digits at the bar. Give your information out sparingly, and ignore the poseurs with the staring problems. Wait a minute... Why do I know so much about people around me? Could it be because I'm the one with the staring problem? Gah... West Hollywood really f#@ks with your mind. But at least it's a good lay, and sticks around for noon breakfast.
by Joy B. on In an unprecedented turn of events, I went out on a Thursday night for the first time in years. I almost felt 21 all over again. Ha ha ha, sure. Entrance: Easy breezy - no lines, no cover. I love it. You enter and see a bunch of mini flat screen tv's arranged in a design that looked like the eyeballs of a giant fly staring at a reflection of duplicate images playing in unison. Kinda freaked me out. It's hard to explain but if and/or when you see it, a light bulb will appear above your head and you'll have an "a ha" moment. Anyway, we walked up a long stairway lined with sports memorabilia (yawn) but I guess that's to be expected. It is a sports bar, after all. I could have sworn our table was a see-saw and not a table based on the fact that we had to stabilize it with the tops of our thighs. Our waitress was kind of slow, but I don't think it was all her fault - I think they were under staffed. Music. Holy hell this place is for the musically indecisive. In the bar - hip hop. The karaoke room? A live band and singing. Game area/smoking patio: Some other random shit playing. My eardrums were confused. Food? Surprisingly good for sports bar fare and pretty cheap (about $10-$12 a plate). I had the spinach pear salad, which came with endives, walnuts, blue cheese, pears, and a light drizzle of dressing. The BF had the turkey club with onion rings. Drinks were $10 each. I think my total bill was about $67 (including tip). The things I wish I could give an extra 1/2 a star to: -free reserved area: My bro lucked out and didn't have to pay for basically the entire room you see when you get to the top of the stairs. Why? *shrugs. Recession? Weekday? Good Samaritan Day? Whatever the reason, free is the best price. -free shots: The waitress brought a few shots on the house for the birthday girl. Patron shots and some other red concoction. I typically wouldn't drink on a weeknight, but, you can't let it go to waste! The reviewer who mentioned free parking in the B of A lot was right! Just hang a louie on Wilshire (past the "Albertson" wedding chapel-wtf?) and you'll be at Busby's just past Legend barber shop. And please..don't get drunk married at a cheeseball wedding chapel named after a grocery store before you walk back to your car at the end of the night!
by Florencio Frausto on Really?? Really?? Place like this makes me don't want to party anymore.. A typical nyc low-end club style.. big warehouse with few tables couches and called it a CLUB.. give me a break!!! Of course if you are wasted/hammed/drunk.. anywhere is ok.. I'm particularly not a big fan of the crowd.. it looks like a big "MEAT MARKET" filled with desperate men/women try to get LUCKY!! I hate these clubbing theme..!! this club is definitely not for me..
