Editorial Review for The Bank Heist--TEMPORARILY CLOSED – by Whitney Friedlander

In Short
A thin crimson curtain separates the soda-shop themed diner (the Bank) from a dimly lit cherry-wood accented dance club. The restaurant entices families and theater-goers early on with comfort food standards like jerk shrimp, Cobb salad and milkshakes. Later, a relaxed, yet stylishly dressed Valley set come in for a bite or head upstairs (Heist) to sip specialty cocktails as house beats from local DJ legends like The Crystal Method's Ken Jordan reverberate throughout.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

The Bank's entrance is at the front on Lankershim; the bar's is down Weddington. A meal at the restaurant will garner entrance to the club, provided it's not at capacity.

When to Go

The large space allows for varying themed events, such as TV dinner nights, comics, burlesque live music.

Look Good

There's a medium-sized, standing-room-only smoking patio upstairs.

Parking

Valet is available in the large lot behind the building, but metered space are fairly prevalent in the area.

My boyfriend and I went for the first time a few weeks ago on a Saturday night. The food was good and the service was nice. The staff was friendly incuding security which is rare. Go to Hollywood and you get nothing but attitude from security/bouncers......but not here. We had no drama getting in and had a blast. The crowd was mixed, all types, all ages and no drama. The music was the best part......danced all night! I guess you really just have to go check it out and see for yourself.

Don't waste your TIME!!!! Nice looking place. The food is one step above Jack in the Box once you get past the chips. Same Old DJ. Same Old club atmosphere. Don't know how they spent 3 million dollars, they must have a weird idea of how to run a business. The staff is not friendly, and the management has a bitchy attitude, Stay away from Brianna, she does not know how to be nice. Another typical wanna be actress. They can't be taken seriously, club won't last more than six months. You're better off eating at the Panda across the street, and take the metro to Edison (now that is a real Club) in downtown L.A. SPEND YOUR MONEY WISELY.
