The Basics: If you want to get the whole L.A./ Hollywood experience including attitude and all, then Area is a good place to do so for first timers. It’s time to burst out of your bubble and step out of your comfort zone. While Area it’s a rather difficult place to get into, it’s not impossible like in other venues in the Hollywood area. Yes, bouncers can be jerks every once in a while; yes, it might be frustrating having to wait for a while; yes, it’s harder if you don’t know anyone; but hey, once you’re in you’ll forget all about the shiz you had to go through.
At once a Pop Art museum and haven for new millennium hotties, this mid-century themed nightclub balances ’60s-style wall designs with modern touches like LED lighting above the dance floor. Caramel-flecked terrazzo floors support low-lying white leather sofas and two sleek bars. Waitresses clad in thigh-high white boots attend to too-cool onlookers with premium bottle service, and everyone else posing nearby. Clubgoers cool off or take smoke breaks by stepping through glass doors onto an intimate, outdoor patio. This is a guest-list only venue, but even that doesn’t ensure entry. The only way to guarantee getting in–and to get in without a wait–is to make bottle service reservations.
They play great music- if you like current hip-hip, electro pop, pop and dance. The drinks are overpriced, but thats any “hot spot” club in Hollywood. Remember you’re in L.A., so you’ll come across conceited and rude people, just let it go.
