Editorial Review for Goa – by Martha Burr
The Preview
Restaurateur/nightlife impresario Michael Sutton and business partner Adolfo Suaya (The Lodge, Memphis) have soft-opened this high-concept club hearkening back to the bohemian 1960's jet-set crowd of the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Looking to bring a little exoticism to La La Land, the decor--care of rising design rock star Kristopher Keith--evokes the tropical decadence of India's Goa beachfront. As a supper club, the far-out scene meets a limited menu of sushi and other Japanese-style fare. But nobody really comes here for the food--clubbers looking for the next big thing try their chances at the door, hoping to schmooze the bouncers and break in for a night of dancing and star-gazing.

Know Before You GoIf you are not on the list or a model-type, you are not getting in. Bottom line. Save yourself the trouble and head over to the Room across the street instead.

This place is beyond over blown. I have been there twice now. The first experince was not good but hey, sometimes a club has a bad night. I am an ex-model from Norway and have no trouble gettting into this or any other club. However, I was offended by the way the bouncers were treating my friends in the line before I got there. The offensive treatment outside is only surpassed by the treament inside. For the second time, bad service, bad crowd and bad music. Your club is over. I can't believe anyone, other than an employee or someone with a vested financial interest, would give this place a positive review of any kind. I won't be giving you a third try. If you work there now, you should google the California Development Department and get your paperwork ready for unemployment...
Pros: It will soon be another Club
Cons: Not enough space

A few of my friends and I showed up later on in the night to try our luck to get into Goa. We weren't hopeful as we were at the end of the line. Then the doorman (one in the scarf) approached us and asked if we had reservations. We said no, and he said he's see what he could do. not ten minutes later, he came over to us and led us out of the line and into the club, letting us jump past probably 30 people. The difference? we weren't dressed up like eurotrash with tight short dresses and fake everythings. don't get me wrong, there were plenty inside. But i am pretty sure that they must have reached maximum capacity for plastic because no one else that came through the door after us looked like that. So be classy ladies, and be polite gentlemen. And it will work out in the end.
Pros: excellent atmosphere
Cons: watch out for the dumb girl bartender with a preggo belly and blonde hair
