I love it here. This is definitely one of my favorite Hollywood spots and I try to frequent the club with friends as much as possible! This is really a great spot...you just need to know how to get in. Jen Lawson gets me in everytime, just shoot her an e-mail and she can set you up: jenlawsonproductions@yahoo(dot)com
