The Scene – In a very short time, the new owners of the former Woody's Hyperion have succeeded in resuscitating a long-deserted venue, filling the void left when Detour turned into hipster hang 4100. With all outside light blocked out, MJ's has the vibe of a flame-lit subterranean grotto, and is ornately furnished in cooling, lacquered tones of black, grey and red. Diversions include a pinball machine, pool table, dartboard and endless loops of '70s gay physique films appear on video monitors. Weekend music runs the gamut from speed metal and industrial disco to classic rock and hip-hop,…

I'd rather go to the Abbey
by fiorebella at Citysearch
Literally just got back and was not at all a bit impressed! I went w/ a friend who is gay and he as well was not impressed. The gogo dancers did not know what the hell they were doing except for one. They mostly just stood there and we paid a cover to see them dance...yawn! The hookahs outside were a nice treat, but the "hot Persian boys" that were supposed to be there all night I guess never showed. There were not any good looking men there and my friend agreed. On a good note the bartenders were very friendly and their drinks were pretty stiff, two and i couldn't see straight, I'd say I got my money's worth there! I've been to better bars, I guess on Persian night the word needs to get out to bring in dancers who will actually move and bring in more good looking people, the dj and bartenders know exactly what they're doing, so no problem there....
- Pros: Stiff drinks, friendly staff, good dj
- Cons: where are all the hot boy

Don't Bother
by facetious at Citysearch
until this year this was a great leather bar that catered to the Silverlake crowd. Now with the new owner its just another cheap knock off of a trashy WEHO bar. This used to be the place to be. Great crowd, great bartenders, no attitude, great music, great pool players. Boy, those were the days. Now its a $7 cover just about everynight. Dont waste your time.
- Pros: Great mexican food ACCROSS THE STREET
- Cons: Original owner MJ moved away.

Good Neighorhood Bar/ Entertainment

I wanted to post a review of my assessment of my experience with MJ's this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. Despite parking could be a challenge to those who arrive well after 10pm ( I arrived early Friday evening around 9:30), the employees and Chris (the owner) were very polite and accomodating. While I cannot dispute the previous posters experience, the staff including the bartenders and the dancers are very friendly and outgoing. The music was very good on Friday and Sunday however I was lost on Saturday which I suspect plays current music which I have no knowledge of since I don't listen to the radio. I did not feel the bar was trashy nor filled with attitude or fashinista's but it didn't matter to me, I had a great time.
- Pros: Great attitude/ vibe and notable eye candy/ draws a great crowd
- Cons: parking but not atypical for the location it seems
The Details on Mj's
Look Good:
Introduce yourself to the bartenders and they may pour more generously. On nights when they select the music, they might even play one of your CDs.
The Extras:
The club is flexible about hosting special events, providing they remain open to the public. If you don't charge a cover, they probably won't charge you a fee.
Parking:
You can park in Trader Joe's store lot, but only after 10pm. Parking in the employee lot, however, is never allowed.
