Editorial Review for Here Lounge – by Tara de Lis
The Scene
Walk past the movie studio-sized gates and onto the sprawling patio or into the large open-spaced lounge. This is where the boys are, all right, but be warned--some of them spend more time posing than socializing. Inside, the decor is postmodern-industrial with Formica panels and smoked-screened indigo lighting. A small bar is situated in the front, but the large one in the back is higher profile.
The Draw
The glorious gaggle of gorgeous men, quality music and posh environs make this a great pre-clubbing spot on the weekends and a destination in its own right during the week. The proximity to other hot spots like the Abbey and Rage doesn't hurt either; true scene makers eat dinner first and then venture Here for (more) drinks.

Aside from the limited square-footage and power hungry doormen, this is possibly the worst ran venue in the area. Last night a group of friend and I were denied access because one of our friends had an out of state ID. And because the doorman "wasn't familiar" with this State's ID, he refused service asking for a passport, a phone bill, or multiple credit cards. We even offered to call LAPD or the Sheriff's Dept and suggesting running the ID number. Rudely and ignorantly he refused. Which was a pity because we went to rage and spent $500 and had the best time! Forget about what you may have heard -RAGE in WEHO is the place to go! Great staff, REALLY STRONG DRINKS, and an amazing DJ at the dancefloor. Boo HERE, YAY RAGE!!
Pros: They serve alcohol.
Cons: Bad music, bad crowd, bad staff, weak drinks, horrible lighting, too small...

Yeah, besides the hot dancers- which i think occur on Fridays- It has become about under-aged? no eye candy type of girls- this place has fugly promoters cus they sure dont add to the hot scene. Not to mention that most the girls in there are prolly snorting in the bathrooms..if you are into the L.A. hipster clique scene, then by all means...small dance floor, expensive drinks...i'd rather go to the ABBEY ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!
Pros: dancers but same ones!!
Cons: same record diff day, whack cover charges and boo to the promo folk
