FUCK YEAH! I really haven't been to too many clubs but this one TOTALLY rocked my socks off! This is my review from Friday 12.3.10 SNOW PARTY PROS My friend put me on the guest list from Andrew at Boulevard III's facebook page and we got in right away staff are extremely polite and welcoming! free smores were delightful tacos and taco guy were delightful dancers were all hot ass people people in the club were all hot ass people played great music so I can grind on the hot ass people with no shame CONS I got too drunk and fell in the "snow" with my girlfriend and got wet. Totally our faults but it was fun and we danced off the soaked parts of our bodies anyways GO TO BOULEVARD3 you will not regret it I fucking promise you.

Say your goal was to design a building that could serve as the perfect architectural metaphor for stereotypical Hollywood. You'd make it exceptionally pretty, but also frustrating after any amount of time, utterly without substance, and then surround it by jerky scenesters and hussied-up ladies. But I'm willing to bet you couldn't do these things as well as Kress. No expense seems to have been spared in renovating this old department store:  one highlight is a gorgeous ceiling on the first level that has been lovingly restored after decades of being covered by a drop ceiling. This first level gets the early twentieth century Hollywood Chinese revival style (seen elsewhere in the neighborhood at the Chinese Theater and the Nirvana Apartments) so spot-on exactly right that it could take your breath away. But you'll have more than enough time to catch your breath while you wait for a bartender.  (They're not busy, they're just not overly interested in making drinks.) The third floor lounge is spacious, with a terrific Hollywood Regency flourish. The first thing off the elevator may be the most gorgeous art deco-style bar in Hollywood.  I could live in this room.  Happily. The much talked-about roof bar seems, bewilderingly, to abandon the deco theme AND the Chinese theme.  Despite the lovely views, on the roof, Kress aims for a contemporary, characterlessly modern look that a hundred other bars in Hollywood do just as well or better. But let's get back to the service.  I am going to shout this next bit because it's very important.  THERE IS NO POINT IN SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON DECOR IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR CUSTOMERS' EXPERIENCE ONCE THEY'RE INSIDE. Seriously.  Waited for five minutes for a waiter at our party upstairs.  Gave up when eye contact didn't work.  Decided to schlep downstairs to the bar for our own damned drinks, and waited another five minutes while the bartender finished up his conversation with a girl in the empty downstairs bar, telling us he would be "right with us." My friend asked him if there were specialty cocktails, he said "yes, there's some lychee thing," and waved his hand vaguely and wandered away for another few minutes. When he returned, I tried another tack:  "is there a specialty cocktail menu we could see?" He admitted that there was, but he told my friend (I did not hear him say, or would have known better than to order what I did) that he "did not like making them," and so he "didn't tell people about them." Anyway, I got the "Kressential," which was a vodka drink with mint and muddled blackberries, but I subbed Makers Mark for the vodka.  I was hoping this would be something akin to the Big Mac at Seven Grand, which is an all-time favorite. No such luck.  Here's another helpful hint for bar moguls, and I'm going to lay off the caps this time, but this is almost as important:  if you're going to have drinks with fancy muddled things -- and you should -- you'll want to strain the berry pulp and the seeds out of the drink. Guh, the whole bottom quarter of my glass was filled with a solid mass of blackberry-mint-muck.  It kept falling at me when I took a drink.  And I was picking blackberry seeds out of my teeth all night.  Really gross. 3 drinks?  $45 with tip.  I've got no problem paying that at a place that knows how to make drinks and has decent service, but neither is the case at Kress. And the crowd!  Barely-21s with credit cards and reality-TV mentalities.  The sort of people who give Hollywood its bad reputation. (I was there for the Art Deco Society's "Cocktails in Historic Places," event, and a similar private event is the ONLY way I would ever go back.) But that third floor is perfect.  And the first floor is beautiful. So, I recommend walking by, peering through the glass and admiring the  building on your way to drink someplace better.
