by Leslie D. on NYE 2011: Griffin Yuck, this was probably the crappiest New Year's Eve I've had in a looooooooooooooooong time.... and I've had some bad ones. I can't decide whether or not this night surpassed NYE 2006 in terms of crap where a skeezy guy I knew grabbed me and kissed me. While drunk. And tried to force his tongue between my lips. Ugh!! I will calmly list all my complaints in a respectable manner and I will try to refrain from swearing. Main word in that sentence is "try." First off, the tickets for this "amazing" club party were $125... which included only entry and a premium open bar from 9pm-2am. Ok, the premium open bar part was the ONLY thing that I can give this place props for since the drinks were strong. A star for that. Too bad for me though because I was completely sober the whole night... I guess I ate too much at dinner or my tolerance has skyrocketed. The rest of the night was a total and utter waste. I should have taken my $125 to Morimoto or to the Village Pour House, ANYWHERE else. When I arrived to the Griffin, I knew it was going to be bad... I walk in, and there's no dance floor. Had I known this prior to buying my tickets at the suggestion of a friend, I would have seriously contemplated my decision. As there was no dance floor, there was drunk people everywhere in the aisles dancing with full drinks in hand. This wouldn't have been so awful BUT the club sold so many tickets that the place was filled to a very uncomfortable and claustrophobic capacity. I'm pretty sure that if there had been a fire, we all would have died. I seriously couldn't move. A bouncer literally pushed me out of the way when I found the only space I could stand in- an open doorway. I can't believe they got away with having that many drunk people in such a small enclosure! The music was good, so another star for that. I just wish I could have been able to dance to it without having a beer spilled on me. Oh wait, that's right, I did. Three times. My poor Versace dress needs a visit to the dry cleaners now.. Oh well, it will come out. I just get annoyed when people spill on me and don't say sorry or any acknowledgment whatsoever. Another thing I hated about this place were the bathrooms and how they handled the bathroom line. First, those toilets were nasty. Second, the stupid jerks running the line let drunk hos in skanky dresses cut the rest of us! I almost tripped a girl... I should have. I also witnessed a fight once I got to the top of the stairs where the bathroom was... Apparently a guy tipped the attendants a $50 bill but took out some money out of the tip jar to make change. He was instantly accused of trying to steal because no one had seen him put the $50 bill in. The guy kept yelling "CHECK THE JAR, IT'S IN THERE!" Hmmmm this reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.... Calzone anyone? Can I also say that most of the guys here were complete douchebags. As I had only purchased a $125 general admission ticket, there were no seats available except to those who had bought "premium seating" or bottle service tickets for over $150. Cheese and rice, I'm a girl in heels and I have to sit for a minute! I saw one of the couches unoccupied so I sat on the very very end on the corner just to let my dogs rest. As soon as I did, a guy from the group told me I had to get up and leave since it was "their couch." Wow dude good luck ever getting a date in the future with that attitude. Let's give a toast to the douchebags and to the death of chivalry!
by Joel Y. on Hiro was a dope venue. KILL BILL was filmed here baby! It was so awesome. The venue is really pretty large and impressive compared to a lot of the places in LA. Decor was excellent, filled with paper lanterns and genuine looking cherry blossom trees. They have a Chinese good luck dragon that spits out smoke every 15 minutes. They serve all the Asian beers here, Singha, Tsingdao, Asahi, Tiger, etc. Very very cool venue. I just kept thinking GoGo and Oren Ishi here. Too bad the music last night sucked. It was electronic. Let me paint you a picture... you just walked into Urban Outfitters.. all of a sudden all the lights go out and out comes these two douche bags on the turn table screaming to video game music... and there you have it. Thursday nights at Hiro. Maybe last night was a special night.
