Burlesque Wednesdays

by Michael Fran

I've been a fan of the Edison since it first opened, but its appeal faded after a year or so. I recently went back for the burlesque circus on Wednesday nights and... DAMN. Entertainment is incredible, the crowd dresses up and the drinks never miss, although you may wait for quite a while. If you're looking for a refreshed sense of the Edison - go on Wednesday nights.

• Pros: Burlesque Troop

Great place for a date

by jonesadam

The food here is eclectic and absolutely amazing. It's good for a romantic date or even meet friends at the bar. I particularly enjoyed the belly dancer show she had a python in her act. The service was amazing well worth the prices.

• Pros: Sexy belly dancer
• Cons: In the Center of Down town La

Ruined evening

by mickjaggerz

I just got turned away from this stupid club because of my attire. I'm supposed to be there for a birthday party. My knit shirt from Nordstroms "doesn't have a collar" and the bouncer didn't like my shoes either.

Do ya think I'll ever go back there?

• Pros: ?
• Cons: Inflexible

Classicism

by Classicism

I've been told this place is full of rude staff and ridiculous costumers and now I can confirm this, spend you money where you will be treated like a person, there much better places nearer by.

• Pros: Great if your into class war and like to play dress up

How to be a bouncer, stand by door, be rude

by dinosoreis

At 7:10pm I arrived at the Edison for my friends birthday get together, I had sneakers on (I had just come from work) And had missed the dress code cut off by 10min so I left but because my friends are better people than the management and door man at the Edison they finished there drinks and left as well, most never to return.

• Pros: cool building
• Cons: The people who work there

sux

by wildozer

dont know what these pro reviewers have been smoking but they couldnt have been at the same club. Rudest punks at the door I have ever seen. Food poor, drinks poor- overpriced with abysmally slow service.

Better to sit at home and pour yourself drinks while listening to Xm radio than to waste time and money here

• Pros: none mentionable
• Cons: top to bottom, the worst

Shameful!

by Shakespeare

Shameful!

Went last night to try and enjoy the festivities. We were with a very large group of people..one of which was told at the door that he couldn't come in because his arms weren't covered. (mind you, he was wearing a badassed outfit resplendent in "edison-esque attire" a very nice vest and shirt underneath that happened to be cut at the shoulders. He looked better than most of the men patronizing this joint. I had to lend him my sweater (leaving me bare-armed, spaghetti-strapped and braless, but, hey I'm a girl and they had no problem with me)

Wow. I should have looked for a sexual discrimination lawyer while i was in there....

So, this set our party of 20 or so in a disdainful mood right off the bat. At a $10 cover, there went 200 bux.....and, unfortunately, my friend was so hot inside wearing that mandatory sweater i had lent him and chose to leave instead sweat to death. Funny enough, as he was leaving ANOTHER EMPLOYEE stopped him to chastise him for his "sleavelessness".

My advice to the bad apple employees that run rampant in this club is to take the attitude down a few notches.

So, after 17 of our party left, fairly immediately (and will never return), i stayed with my two girlfriends, ate some WAY overpriced mac and cheese and downed some absyinthe...not the best.

We must have lucked out, because our bartender , Aidan D was terrific, as were the barbacks and busboy. Nice guys. The waitress, on the other hand (don't know what dr-g she was on) literally tripped across my feet FOUR different times...no exaggeration. No apology, just a glassy-eyed freakish demeanor wrapped up in a black flapper dress.

Also, let me point out that the DJ was pretty awesome, except, once again, FOR HER ATTITUDE! No smile, never, just a vacant, vapid expression of "I'm too good for this place" "worship me".

Boring.

Go for the decor once, but never go back. Unless they cut out 9/10's of their bitchy insouciant employees.

• Pros: Decor
• Cons: Staff, Overpriced food/ drinks

Terrible service

by marielatuchi

I just came back from this place and I am certainly not going there ever again. My friend had a birthday reservation for a large group of people at 9.30 pm; however guests arrived (me included) at 10pm simply because parking there is a nightmare. We were told that since we were not there on time at 9.30 all guests have to wait in the regular line. The security treated us like we were criminals. Needless to say, we didn't want to wait 1 1/2 to get in and just left without even seeing the birthday girl.

I don't know how 'happening' or cool is this place inside but just from the service outside, I was pretty sure that I am not going there again.

• Pros: none
• Cons: long wait and rude people; difficult parking

Cool place, rude staff

by winni3

This is a cool venue with a steampunk theme. However, the staff is rude rude rude. It doesn't matter how often you come here or how much money you spend, the staff will pretend like they do not recognize you and will even possibly school you. Service is slow for drinks and food. Worth visiting once for the decor and the venue itself, but I doubt I'll be back ever again.

• Pros: decor, size, venue
• Cons: staff, service
