Great place

OMG we had so much fun at here! I was shocked that the drinks were $5 dollars! The bartenders were really sweet and cute and so was the crowd. I def recommend this place.

Friday night- great for girls!

by colombiankitten

The crowd was amazing- beautiful girls everywhere- I never knew L.A. had that many! Everyone seemed friendly and they get very hype when the dancers start performing. The go-gos here are better (performance-wise) than most clubs I've been to, including NYC and Miami. I dug the music. I wish they played reggae but it's all good.

• Pros: outdoor patio, music, drinks
• Cons: small, not enough lesbian nights

BEST NIGHTCLUB/LOUNGE IN LA!

by AJNME95

I recently went to Here after not being there for awhile and had THE BEST TIME! Not only did I go Friday (which is ladies night, but mixed) but again Saturday. The music was amazing... the lighting was great and the staff was hot n super friendly. The Friday night ladies are amazing.. the bartenders dance these hot choreographed numbers every hour! And one girl got a lap dance.. ON THE BAR! Blew my mind... Sat was equally as fun with hot weho boys and amazing music... HOT NEW MUSIC, HOT/FRIENDLY STAFF, GREAT DRINKS! I love Here and can't wait to return to LA!!

• Pros: MUSIC, DRINKS, STAFF
• Cons: none i can think of

Poor Management and Bartender Courtesies

by littlesaid

I went with my friend to the Here(hadn't been in over a year) The music was the bomb(as usual), the dancers were awesome(something new) and the crowd was mixed(which I love).

When the dancers stopped dancing they began to bartend. My friend and I waited at the counter for our drinks(which was to be expected,duh, there's a crowd and I'm very patient) However after being passed over too many times my friend told the girl we had been waiting awhile. The bartender for whatever reason was annoyed with us and told us we were standing in the middle of (I guess an imaginary divider line). I was clueless to what she meant but she reluctantly made us our drinks. I held my twenty bill out for her to take, which she did after serving and taking money from another patron. Before leaving the counter my friend asked if she could have a lemon with her drink and the bartender THREW the lemon at us and it landed on the counter. I was LIVID, INFURIATED AND SHOCKED. I felt like I had been violated in front of a crowd of people, for what. I still don't understand why she was bent. We were waiting not irately or obnoxiously. I told the manager, Andrew, and he didn't seem to believe us. He spoke with the girl and she denied it, of course. He said he would offer us free drinks. At that point I didn't want to stay because I felt the management was lax and I had no clue what else might happen there and they didn't seem to have control over their employees(obviously). I told him(as I was pointing at him) I wanted my money back for the drinks and cover charge and I wanted an apology from the bartender for her inexcusable behavior. He refused, which infuriated even more because at this point I felt like a helpless victim with no where to turn. the manager had his bouncers put me out because I wouldn't stop pointing in his face. If that was demeaning to him then how does he think I felt having food thrown at me.

I say BEWARE of this establishment.Management SHAME!! They don't protect you.

• Pros: Awesome music versatility, the ambience is inviting, great dancers, never had a problem until now with bartenders,they have always ventured me into new drinks in the past.
• Cons: Tall thin, no booty brunnette has issues/BEWARE, Poor management mediator/liason, present Manager, Andrew is thumbs down Dude

Worst Venue in LA/HOLLYWOOD

by rwh2727

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...
