by Kathy C. on The Edison is a nice place to come for happy hour. (Wed - Fri: 5:00 to 7:00 pm). They enforce a dress code, so it also gives you an excuse to dress up for the night. I saw a group of guys get turned away because they were wearing shorts and flip flops. One of the guys said, "I should go home and change." Yes, guy, you should go home and change. The happy hour here is amazing. They have a special menu of food items that are all priced at $5. I ordered the Kobe beef slider (yes, it just comes with one) that was amazing. Every order also comes with an order of fries (The Edison fries [which are regular french fries] and sweet potato fries). The fries are crunchy, which is a must. Upon entering, you receive a drink ticket that is good for one 35 cent martini. The martini is a special martini they prepare for the night. I don't recall what the particular mix was when I went, but it was quite good. The other cocktails are marked down 40%. It should be noted that their cocktail glasses are HUGE. I opted for table service, and my server was great. I ordered an English Afterthought (gin, St. Germaine, ginger, and blueberries) which turned out to be too spicy due to the amount of ginger added. The server kindly took the drink back and did not charge me for it. Overall, I had a great experience here. I'll definitely be coming back again.
by Kandice Suthers on This place is a cesspool. I have been here a few times and I must say: 1. Everybody knows the line outside is not necessary. There is plenty of room inside. 2. The Headset toting, Asshole Bouncer's should move inside and monitor the line for the two restrooms (1 for the men and 1 for the women). Your party advertisements say 1500 guests, yet you have only 2 bathrooms. Never have I been to a straight club where there is a line to the Men's room. 3. Not so sure this club is straight, which is fine, if you are not female and hoping to meet men. 4. Drinks are overpriced 5. The straight men are creepy, scary.... When it gets crowded they paw and grab at you when you walk through the crowd. And you can get all this for an admission fee of $20! There are far better places to be seen than Opera.
