Academy LA

Finally a club done well - parking guides, coat check, fast entry both in the door and at the ticket check, lots of fast and adept bartenders, proper but not overbearing security. Lighting, cool air and unobstructed walkways straight to the large patio that also had a bar. Heat lamps would have been nice but in CA that doesn’t matter much since temps are usu high enough at nite. And additional ladies bathroom also would have been nice. Paul Van Dyke rocked the house for hours on end!

I don't think I've ever enjoyed the employees of a club so much. They were really nice and fun. I do wish they would have suggested to stop drinking earlier, i didn't feel well the next day, but that's my own silly fault.

The music was amazing, i loved the lighting. Good sized dance floor but not so big to feel less intimate.

Great night overall, I'll be back.

Simple venue for its intention. The music was great, sound quality and lights were great, but the venue was very packed shoulder to shoulder for Steve Aoki’s performance. This is to be expected, but it’s very claustrophobic in the room and it gets kinda musty.
Also, the drink prices were outrageously expensive. $46 for one drink with two shots in it + a water bottle. So, pregame before you arrive.

Classy, laid-back vibe.

Fantastic wine.

Good service.

Comfy, cozy couches.

Tasty, out-of-ordinary, appetizers.

Pricey.

Decent DJ but hardly anyone dances.

Very chic lounge with comfy seating to enjoy a glass or a bottle of wine. They also had a live DJ spinning when we came on a Friday night. You can choose to try wines by the glass, flight, or bottle from their decent sized wine list. Noise level is not bad at all and this place is great for groups or dates.
