Editorial Review for Hyde – by Michael Martin
In Short
Located in the old North space, but far-dressier than its predecessor, the first-floor lounge features leather and crocodile-trimmed upholstery with oversized Monkeywood tables. Under a pounded-copper ceiling, flickering candles suspended from the walls add an elegant touch. The bar offers a small plates menu of Asian fusion dishes, ranging from inventive sushi rolls to salmon sashimi. A simple DJ booth, dressed-up with Mac-mixing machine and heavy tech-equipment, features rotating rock DJs catering to A-listers like Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoFridays and Saturdays features lengthy guest lists--try for a bottle service reservation or expect a hefty wait since the club only accommodates about 100 people. It's a little easier to get in on weekdays.
ParkingWeekends offer a packed parking lot and jammed valet--try across the street at 8000 Sunset. Note that the gates close promptly at 2am.
What to DrinkNot limited to just fancy vodkas or champagnes, bottle service can include vintage selections of Scotch or gin. There are nightly cocktail specials as well.

I thought Hyde would be like entering another galaxy but it is really not. The place is small and crowded and the people were not the prettiest. Don't go if you are not on a list or have a table. Saw DJ Am but that was it. More to the name than to the place.
Pros: It is Hyde.
Cons: Foreign rich people that don't speak english.

I like this place, intimate and cozy, great for a winter evening make-out session with an Elite model who is visiting from NY, is in a serious relationship, but wants to explore her options ;)
