Nice open club area with great music! It gets a bit crowded so keep close to your friends. The bathrooms were super clean and the decor was updated and swanky. Would party here again

horrible promoters, horrible bouncers & horrible vibes all around do a better job at checking IDs...half of the girls there had to have been 19 years old, at most

Way too small to be called a dance club. Came here for an event Christmas Eve. Everyone was shoulder to shoulder ; exceeded max capacity. Only two bartenders available. Waited about twenty minutes Not a fun, nor comfortable time. Consider any other club of venue before coming here .

Where did I start ! Racist establishment !!! They let all bunch of under age white girls, in me, and my friends were neglected because of our skin color. They literally looked at us and ignored us and let all these little white girls in that were clearly like 14 years old. The bouncers clearly knew of them, and they kept telling us to wait and wait and This guy came out and laughed at us because of our skin tone. He said he was a promoter, and he was going to decide whether we went in or not. We were invited by people friends that had a section but clearly we didn't meet there racial standards.

Same formulaic nightclub from the organizers behind equally trashy Poppy with the standard barebones ugly chandeliers and tacky decor, a bunch of low-paid equally tacky nightclub promoter 20-somethins (maybe I'm getting old, but they look way too young to be there if the place wants to keep its liquor license lol) who bring their equally obnoxious buddies to prance around clapping their hands like smug gremlins for middle finger selfies, while actual paying customers who aren't saddled with college debts pay hella through the nose for drinks, can't move in the cramped space (with floors covered in greasy who knows what) and can neither see nor hear anyone they're trying to talk to. Avoid at all costs. If you want a nightclub, go to a bigger venue with less hassle getting in through artificial scarcity and if you want a dark lounge with good music, absolutely go just about anywhere else.

Like the other H Wood group venues, the recurring themes you find in all the legit reviews speak for themselves. Owners seem to overly rely on a network of frat bros and other very young, entitled, obnoxious and largely clueless youth roping in the dregs of local Greek life for a training wheels version of the kind of lifestyle that will soon see them flying to Dubai for certain... clients. Then some sad sacks prowling the streets of LA for low hanging fruit see the illusion of hotness and waltz on in. So if you want to watch a bunch of vapid, backslapping fakery (like they show on their IGs) in a crowded, poorly lit, frothy pretend-posh that seems like the hybrid love child of the worst Miami and LA nightlife stereotypes, look no further. I wonder at the funding propping up this network of establishments. Many seem to only be open a couple times a week. It seems they can only subsist on luring in gullible college girls raised on Tiktok fakery and their alleycat promoter enablers who are seemingly unaware they're just a free ticket to the fiesta for intoxicated babes who would otherwise never spare them a second glance (unless, perhaps, they were of the Dubai patron variety). But hey, the equally boorish pretend-posh editorial reviews just love the place (no wonder the media landscape is in a freefall death spiral). Just like Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, it's all about the user reviews, not the shills and halfwits populating writing rooms. Tread carefully nightlife thrill seekers. Unless, of course, you are the target audience of posers, faux moguls, aspiring "influencers," SoundCloud rappers and trust fund fragility. Then you've come to the perfect, overpriced sideshow. Tawdry.

Appalling: Friend was turned away because her size was not fitting the club's image. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. Wake up!!!! 2023 darlings-you are on the wrong side of image and culture—barfable behavior.

17 year old partying when age requirements are 21 liquor license should be revoked
Bootsy was a very mixed experience for me. Luis from security was very helpful and tried to help me resolve my issues. However, Aldo was not helpful and rude when asked to help us sort out the guest list. I am disappointed in this establishments service. All security however, was thorough and kind, I felt safe the whole evening, Made sure to metal detect everyone.

If giving zero stars was an option then I’d give it -5 stars. When my party arrived, just by looking at the people in line, I was thinking this was just a hole in the wall bar (we aren’t from LA, just visiting). People weren’t dressed up, some of the men had on sweatshirts and didn’t give the vibe that was about to greet us at the line. We inquired about the cover charge and were told that ladies are free and that the bouncer didn’t know what they are charging for men (that should have told me something right there lol). When we went to come through the line it was now $100 for EACH person (what happened to ladies being free within the 5 minutes of having a conversation about it with the other bouncer). See, the money was never the problem. It was the way the price went up when he saw we were a group of ethnic people and thought he could get over on us for it. Once we stepped out the way to figure out the next plan, we saw the same guy let in all the people that weren’t made like us. Here’s the kicker- most of the people at the door aren’t even white. The audacity lol. I hope the owner of this establishment sees this review and knows that your door guys are trash and are taking away from your business making money just to pocket it at the door. We came with over $2k to spend for the night but we only do business where we are welcomed and not greeted with the intentions of trying to bamboozle and hoodwink us. It must suck to suck and work a minimum wage job out here, where you have to steal at the door of your job just to be able to pay a bill. Good luck with all that.

One bouncer told us $100 for men women free and if we wanted to skip the line $200 for men but when we decided to wait in line price all of sudden it was $100 a person we literally watch door guy let in several people in for free while we waited for Uber . We didn’t mind paying the money it was more about the principals it’s like trying scam us for money I don’t like race card but definitely let in all white people with no hassle. Not to mention we was 2 different groups our first group primarily white (men) paid $100 at the door and women FREE?

The music here is disappointing. They need to get better DJs that play cohesive music. No one wants to listen to Justin Bieber then Abba then a 2000s song then a country song. It's not a vibe and the DJs should read the crowd better.
