You have quick access to parking (free and lots), amazing food within walking distance and a venue that is intimate and used to be a speak easy-can a location get any cooler?! This place wins hands down for a good time. I wish more bands I love played here,I would love to see them so up close and personal. Amazing experience!

Far from a traditional speakeasy, the Edison is a somewhat ritzy joint that serves cold hooch and fancy giggle water in the booming bar scene of DTLA. A small portion of the extravagantly large bar felt like a 1920's costume party. There were many John Dillinger look a likes adorned with pin stripe suits, prohibition era gangster hats, and even had the flapper girls to match. How fun you say!!! But a little bit too contrived for my taste. To each their own. I apologize. I did not get the memo. Next time I will bring the Tommy gun and speak in 1920's slang. "Beat it doll face, you are giving me the heebie-jeebies, things is all balled up because this dapper daddy is on the lam." Yeah, don't worry I don't even know what that means. Drinks at the Edison are stiff and are poured with a heavy hand. Ask for a single, and you will get a double. Order a double, and they will pour you triple. This is terrific/lovely if you like straight whisky and will get you very drunk very fast. Everyone has a friend or even few friends that consistently dress inappropriate for a Friday evening out on the town. The doormen will immediately identify these particular friends as "undesirables." They will say, "sorry, your friend can't come in with those tennis shoes, we have a strictly enforced dress code." For such occasions, one must always keep an extra pair of leather shoes in the trunk of their car for emergency purposes. Trust, it comes in handy when you want to get into the Edison. Recommended

Ummm...no. Go back to Korea or LA and check out places like Club I, Le Cercle (LA and Korea), VR or even Karnak to learn how real K-clubbing is done. This place is pretty damn weak. I enjoyed Hiro in previous week a bit more. One major negative. Too many guys and please keep the kids out. One positive, cheap cheap cheap bottles versus other comparable NYC clubs.
