Editorial Review for Play – by Andrew Rosenblum

In Short
Owner Gianni Capaldi, who also owned the Red Buddha, has partnered with The Crue promoter Brad Hoss to create a club vibe that walks the delicate line between glamour and accessibility. The slender space is designed to overwhelm upon entry, with a stripper pole and a flotilla of lovely bartenders flaunting their toned bodies to the left. The blue-hued, Asian-themed interior combines an active dance floor, an expanded outdoor patio and various DVD namesake "play" symbols throughout.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Thursday is geared towards the elite bottle service crowd, while Sunday night features karaoke starting around 10pm. The bouncer gets pickier as the night goes on, so try to arrive right at 10pm, or you might have a long wait outside.

Look Good

The large smoking patio offers its own bar service, and seats are first come, first served except on busy nights.

Parking

Finding a street spot at night in Hollywood is next to impossible, so your best bet is to fork over for valet, located in front of the club.

we live down the street and stopped in for a drink saturday night. didnt know anyone and the bouncer was cordial, even though he asked us who invited us (i thought we were screwed at this point). it was a cool vibe... nothing spectacular. but some pretty girls and a nice patio. i will be back.

Pros: patio, staff

Cons: nothing stands out

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Loved this Place ! Went for the first time since it was red buddha and i have to say the atmosphere was sweet! Was supposed to go to Seven and there was some mix up so we took our party to Play. Seriously , it was amazin. We had no problems getting in, and the place was packed. It had a lot of cool people not Hollywood types trying to look good but real people just wanting to have a good time. Music was great aswell, really such a great atmosphere to party in. Spoke to the owner Gianni and he set i all up for us. We had our table next to the dancer pole and me and all my girls danced on the pole all night! Love this place and we will be back next Saturday!! This is a must for anyones celebration.

Pros: Great Music, Fun times, AMAZIN DANCER POLE to play on!

Editor's Review

Short-lived Red Buddha Lounge club and patio bar converts into ocean-blue oasis for green-behind-the-ears clubgoers.  See the full editorial review.
