Editorial Review for The Edison – by Randi Schmelzer
In Short
Located near Harlem Place Alley--core of L.A.'s early 20th century music scene--this converted cocktail spot with a "Sherlock Holmes-post-industrial vibe" caters to the area's upscale-loft residents. According to project partners Marc Smith (Golden Gopher) and Andrew Meieran (Mercury Liquors), renovation efforts keep the 1910 Higgins Building's original structure intact, and that includes preserving many of the original boiler room features such as the enormous central power generator.

Threw a private party in the game room and had the greatest experience. Our planner Zack was amazing and accomodating! The inside staff was wonderful. The server really took care of my group with speed and great service, putting up with several highly intoxicated people. As well as Matthew who helped me out several times during the night with some of my needs. I would go here again and definetly throw another party. One tip, if you're coming in a large party with an open bar option... make sure they hand you your braclets down stairs. Too much mix up at the door with other guests accidently getting your bracelets.

The Edison is an amazing space visually and is worth going for that alone. I have been two times now an am not sure I will return however. The staff is very rude and obnoxious. We were there for a Cirque Du Soleil type event and the staff kept moving people around, telling us where we could stand, where we could or could not sit. There were very rude and pompous, not at all courteous. They acted like it was our great privilege to be there as opposed to our being paying customers. The food and drinks are very overpriced and the music is "club" type music which does not suit the aesthetics of the space and was WAY too loud. This could be such an amazing venue but unfortunately the experience does not match the space...
