What People Are Saying About King King

Featured Review

Tara Lis

Contributor

To summarize King King in two words: versatile and red. Located in a historic building in a revamped Hollywood neighborhood, it's got tall ceilings, exposed brick and lots of open space. Everything else changes nightly, from the live music to the transformable, sparkly red Naugahyde bar. Go-go dancers entertain the masses from their netted cage above the stage. In an area known for restrictive door policies and gimmicky-themed bars, King King offers something special: quality live music without any fanfare. The crowd is reflective of the music, enticing Latin swing fans, blues lovers and…

House Music Heaven

by jbarnhart001

So im not a big fan of the mega-clubs, and the pretentious clientel associated with many of the late night spots in Hollywood, but if you are looking for a club that provides an intimate atmosphere, great sound, a laid back crowd, and a never-ending line-up of interationally renowned DJ talent playing the best underground house and techno music til the wee morning hours, then head over to King King on any given Friday or Saturday night and thank me later. As I eluded, the club is small, catering to about 350 people, so if you want the "big room" experience, then this isnt the place. Parking is NOT cheap at the club itself, so look elsewhere for that and your night should turn out great!

An ugly hole in the wall

Contributor

King king is

A hole in a wall.

A small hole in a wall

A very small & ugly hole in a very ugly wall

Though some of the DJs are good, the crowd is trippy and weird with no consistency. If you can happily party with any soul without restrictions then king king offers just that. A small version of Avalon, Vanguard and Music Box.

Its a good place to go if you want to hook up with random folks that enjoy the dance music best while tripping on some illegal substance.

Two stars for some of the very good DJs.

Low key but hot! This is one of those places you don’t know how much you need to be there, till you GET there. The drinks were great(strong), service was fab(fast and friendly), and we will definitely be back! It helps that I have a buddy that does promo though… He got us in with no wait, great table and again, great service! Give him a shout at hwguestlist@gmail He can hook you up with VIP treatment, parties, bottle service. Whatever you need, the night is a party you DON'T forget!
