by Stephanie K. on I came here on Saturday to see Steve Angello... and absolutely LOVED it! I went with a group of 7 and everyone had an awesome time. Of course, Stevey boy is one of the best DJs around so that factored into my sublime club experience. That being said, I'm not sure how this measures up to normal weekend nights here... Anyway, you've gotta take a few factors into account when you try and rate this place. Yes, there were some weird creepy couples grinding all over eachother (not that I have any issues with dirty dancing, but I'm talking like 50 year old dudes and 20 year old hot chicks). Yes, there are lots of people rolling, some who may try and dance with you. That's why you've got your big group of homies around who are ready to step in if anyone tries to start feeling on your bootay! Those aren't deal breakers for me because I love dancing to some crazy house. Ok, now for the music. If you don't like house/techno/progressive, why would you come here?! But if you're into this kind of music at all, Avalon kills it! Great dance space and there's a decent-sized area upstairs if you need to chill out for a bit. Yes, drinks are expensive. But it's a club in Hollywood - isn't that pretty expected? Pregame like crazy and take a cab so you only need a few drinks while you're there. If you love to dance all night and feel like crying when most clubs close at 2am, Avalon will be an lovely change because you can stay all night! I guess it closes at 8am? We left 430am and the place was still going strong. Perfect if you've got some European friends in town!! My advice is GET THERE EARLY. I'm talking before 11. And if there is a major artist spinning, make sure you BUY YOUR TICKETS BEFORE you show up that night! Or else you're going to wait in a big ass line and you probably won't even get in. We all got our tickets before hand so we cruised on through to the will-call line where we waited less than 10 minutes. Boom! Plus our tickets were only $35. Stevey boy is totally worth that. And there you have it, my 5star review. I had my expectations and Avalon definitely delivered!
by Simon Schurer on I haven't been to a concert at World Cafe Live for a while, though that has nothing to do with the venue. The two I have been to, Nouvelle Vague downstairs and KT Tunstall upstairs, were both good shows. I think on the balance of it, I prefer the vibe of the upstairs venue especially when they have it as all seating downstairs. That seems to just take away from any atmosphere. I would love to go more but in all honesty, they just don't host that many artists that I want to go and see. Maybe that says something about my taste (and its diversity) in music but I don't think so, I'm into some pretty varied stuff. In terms of the place as a restaurant/bar, I am not really sold. The happy hour drinks deals are good and there are often one or two interesting beers on tap. The food just isn't anything to write home about. On my visits, I haven't had any dish which made me go wow and I still fail to understand why people go mad about the eggplant fries, I thought they were pretty awful. I have heard they have had problems keeping chefs, which may be making things difficult. Still, it's a good place to see a show if something is on.
