An interesting hybrid; an LA club that feels like a rave seems an appropriate description. Despite several reviews to the contrary, security (while very on top of it and thorough) was not rude or unpleasant in the least. The venue itself does NOT disappoint; gorgeously atmospheric, early 20th century architecture, lots of areas to explore, and manages to somehow give you breathing room even with a packed dancefloor. Would I go again? Yup, with the right act performing... The people my friends and I interacted with weren't pretentious, and the place had a pretty open vibe, which is a definite bonus... On the flip side, however, minus a star because some of the patrons seemed less than savory and I personally would have been paranoid if I had my wallet in my back pocket (I'm talking about you, girl with the obviously found or stolen device in line who asked me to help figure out its connectivity...).
