Editorial Review for Ivan Kane's Forty Deuce--CLOSED – by Patrick Green
In Short
This small bar that once housed funk-fueled hot spot Kane has been transformed into a retro-cool lounge reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy. The plush parlor features cushy lounge seating, while the horseshoe-shaped bar doubles as a runway for the burlesque dancers, who strut by in rhythm to every toe-tapping note played by the live jazz trio. Hollywood's finest suits and sassiest sirens sip cocktails as they enjoy the intimacy of this cutting-edge cabaret.

This retro hot spot is a one of a kind burlesque club that plays the best music from Top 40, Hip Hop, Reggae, Salsa, Classic Rock etc. The staff is really nice and the setting is fun, and flirty. The place is a bit small and only accomodates a certain amount of people, so I would suggest getting there when it opens at 10 to avoid lines, etc. I always have a blast and would reccomend this fabulous spot to anyone who wants to go out and have a great time!!

Hey Everyone, I don't normally write this kind of review or anything... But tonight I had to! I feel bad that it was the venue's last night and anyone who hasn't been there needs to either go to Vegas, NY, or London to experience it until they reopen in downtown LA next year! Look, I've been in Hollywood for a while and heard all the stories before, but closing night was the last & first night I decided to go to Forty Deuce (except when I have been randomly tempted in Vegas). The door staff was EXCEPTIONAL and whoever speaks poorly of them is an idiot or worse yet a wannabe. If I open any new clubs soon, I would want the door staff for my own (and I wasn't even on the guest list on closing night and I had no problems with the professionals who run the joint)! *** BTW - If you want to get in to any HOT clubs, basically just don't be an a-hole and drop names or something and you should be fine!*** Drinks were great and priced fine. Dancers were AMAZING and redefine burlesque (a great genre). If you want to TRUELY have a great nightlife experience than go to a Forty Deuce! SALUTE to Ivan Kane for knowing how to have fun at night!!! Best Regards, You don’t need to know who I am.
