by Christina T. on Uhh came here last night (Saturday) for a friend's birthday. Showed up at 12:30am and found out there's a $10 cover. Even for girls?! So, paid for the very first time for a club in I don't even remember how many years.... Walked in and the DJ was playing my most hated song at the moment by Lady Gaga.....eek!! Throughout the rest of the evening, House music was bumping and was hurting my ears! That's all I have to say....good thing I was with good company, otherwise, I would have not enjoyed my night AT ALL. DJ was whack..... A club like this should be free for girls at the very least...
by Alex F. on While my parents were visiting, a friend recommended I take them to The Park for brunch one Saturday morning. While I was perfectly satisfied with my pesto pizza, I was somewhat disappointed since I was hoping for a great breakfast. There were not nearly as many breakfast options as I was hoping for which lead to my pizza-decision, yet my parents seemed content with their choices (an interesting breakfast pizza and an egg-white omelet). Either way, we all enjoyed our meals and the restaurant itself is really beautiful. There is a ton of seating both inside and out; the terrace would be a great place for a romantic dinner. After reading some other reviews, I'm beginning to realize this place has a problem with time. We arrived at 9:50 and were told that we could sit in the waiting area until they opened at 10, which was perfectly fine since we were just happy to be in air-conditioning. Yet, it was frustrating that when a couple walked in three minutes later, they were seated immediately while we sat in the waiting area and watched. While this certainly didn't ruin the experience, I found it to be quite odd.
by Stefany Segota on Premier destination for the socially clueless. If you just don't know what the fuck else to do, LAX to the rescue. Assuming your standard for "rescue" is simply to be indoors and have access to alcohol. In which case, ladies, allow me to rescue you back to my new club "Chez Jay". I've actually had some good nights here, but the only time the music was was better than "tolerable" was when my boy had his birthday party here and booked his own DJs. Bathroom/smoking patio/outer-edge-of-dancefloor clusterfuck can make for some awkward moments if you subscribe to the "ladies first" school of politenesss. But apparently that's my bad. Drinks here are usually okay and not particularly overpriced. The right side of the bar is always ridiculously packed and the end closer to the door is always pretty open. I find that weird. Am I the only one sniffing out openings on the bar frontier like a cadaver dog? They need to just go ahead and install some additional seating in the front area (to the left of the door that leads out to the "alley" portion of the club), because people obviously are having trouble reaching a consensus as to what function that little taint portion of the club should serve. I understand that people don't like for you to walk thru there when they're dancing, but the alternative is to either push past everyone tryina get a drink or walk across the ACTUAL dancefloor. Watch out, interpretative dance lady with the arms-length-dancing boyfriend, I'm comin thru. Not a terrible option, but you can ALWAYS do better.
