What People Are Saying About Mayan Night Club

In Short – A landmark in L.A.'s historic theater district for more than 70 years, the Mayan leads a double life as an occasional concert hall and as a sizzling salsa club where Latin lovers and salsa dancers show off their moves. Friday and Saturday nights spotlight live salsa music with a bouncing blend of DJ-mixed Latin, meringue, retro, house and funk grooves shaking things up between sets. – –

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
An upscale dress code is strictly enforced for club nights. Men are required to wear collared dress shirts. Call the club for the very detailed list of wardrobe no-nos.

Stupid Hackers

by djleap

They website has been hacked by some couple of Turkish jerks (probably punk *** extremists) now you can't see special events & I used to like clicking on their electronica/techno friday night website thingy because I like that techno song that comes out & as I newly techno DJ I would hear it to create legit techno beats on my synthesizer & my midi computer sequencer I hope the tech guys from The Mayan fix the site & find the jerks responsible for hacking the site & regulate or sue them

GOOD TIMES

by jeffbradford98

Bottle service is excellent, and not too too pricey. The service was great a little crowded but they got their job done. Bartender mixed me a couple of her own specialty drinks and they were fabulous! It’s packed on Saturdays so if you hate big crowds it isn’t the place for you, but I loved every minute of it.

disappointing

by HonestReviewer85

If you're college educated, you're going to find the club to be very shady. If not, have a blast getting retarded drunk and looking like trash. I made the mistake of confusing the Mayan and the Conga Room. People do not make that mistake!
