by Johnie Giampapa on I've enjoyed many nights here... The drinks are ok and are overpriced (aren't they all?) but if you come on the right night you can have an amazing time.. I've seen a few different crowds attend- from the slighly yuppyish city folk to the burningman folk... The music definitely dictates the crowd, so check out the website before you go... Also, sign up online and get on the guest list free....File this place in the back of your brain: it's always there for you if need to get your groove on...
by Gordon Puckhaber on I've been through two incarnations of Tokio over the years--or maybe three--and I am now in LOVE with ECCO! I used frequent Tokio on Wednesday nights for Therapy/DIG with Scott K., the DJ that introduced me to house music 8 years ago. I loved Tokio so I was a bit apprehensive about the new ECCO that was taking its place. But I JUST got home from dancing from 9:45pm til the lights came up at 2am, and I have to say ECCO is my new favorite club in LA. It's been completely re-vamped--I had a bit of vertigo going in because I was trying to recognize the old space. The min/mod decor is nice but all the focus is on the dancefloor. The place is dark aside from the LCD light show that goes on above the dancefloor. It's a bit too bright for my liking (most people like to be a bit anonymous while they dance), & one guy I talked to complained that there wasn't enough lighting off the floor. But either way the lights are fun & definitely give it a Studio 54/Stayin Alive kinda feel. The adequate but intimate dancefloor is surrounded by comfy & firm black couches, & there is an ample bar in the back (with super hot bartenders--one has amazing breasts that she "made" me squeeze when I asked if they were real--they weren't). There's another small bar on the way out to the smoking patio, which is a WONDERFUL thing (the patio, I mean), since before you had to stand outside on Cahuenga & dodge clubbers, drunkards, homeless people, flower vendors & valet guys if you wanted to smoke or get some fresh air & let the sweat evaporate. The sound system is AMAZING. Amazing amazing. One of my eardrums got blown 20 minutes in, but I stuffed a napkin in & I was ok. I guess ECCO is all green & stuff, but I didn't really notice that aside from the cool hand-dryers in the bathrooms. Oh and there didn't seem to be much air conditioning--perhaps that too was for conservation efforts. I'd suggest they pump up the air or bring back the ceiling fans, cuz I was dying. But having a great time while doing it (Scott K./Gabriel/Miguel Migs+Lisa Shaw were incredible, & I could barely stop dancing). As you can tell by the length of this review, I am still buzzed from the strong (but EXPENSIVE) drinks--$12 for a red bull & vodka :( Boooo. I know they put a few Mil into the upgrade, but really, $12 for a drink seems like douche-baggery to me. To end on a high note, I love that they pump the music into the bathrooms so you can continue dancing while you do your business & can rush out in case one of your tracks comes on. Bravo, ECCO, bravo! I'll be back, but I'll be drinking in the car beforehand (& probably smuggling a flask in). (The next morning, sober, I dropped a star for the 12-effen-dollar drinks).
by amy s. on the food was a smidge better than a-okay, but i wouldn't go so far as to say, 'yay, i'm a fan.' because really, i can't stand places like buddha bar-all decked out like we are dining at effing epcot center, no thanks. what is staggering about this joint is the sheer, epic SIZE. it's pretty cavernous in there and for someone accustomed to tiny, cubby-sized new york living, i felt like i had stepped into a wormhole and landed square in the middle of the great plains. at any rate, i digress. buddha bar is full of people who are busily watching other people to see how they stack up in terms of their clothes, their BMI, their seeming affluence. it is dark, some might say 'moodily lit' and there is indeed a gigantic sitting buddha right in the entryway to greet you as you come in and to maybe intimate that you are going to have a spiritual experience here. hardly. i went with a well-heeled group, one of whom was treating us courtesy of his limitless expense account so it was a wild food ordering fiasco to be sure. everything i had was excellent. we had one of everything on the appetizer menu and kobe beef to start somewhere in the melee. as i didn't order, i'm not sure what we were eating (also, i mentioned the darkness), but it was all very, very tasty. they have lovely cocktails and the service was impeccable. i'm also fond of their strange little smoking shaft in the middle of the dining room. smokers not willing to actually walk out front can stand in this glass-walled little chamber for their puffs while we all watch them like strange specimens. but that's just it; buddha bar is a very seen and be seen sort of place and while the food was good, i don't care for scenes like this.
