Every friday night, on hollywood and highland, at the kodak center, you will see the normal mixing bowl of people on hollywood blvd. but in the back of those people, posted against the wall, standing in line you will see a collection of very trendy (in somebodies genre of fashion) fabulous people waiting to dive into some little crack in the wall next to the big ass escalator in the front of the kodak center. This crack in the wall will take you to a little hall where you will be presented with an elevator door. First the guys that tend the rope will frisk you to the point where you will wonder if you should be filing a case later or not. And thats IF these guys even let you in. But thats another story. So once you get in the elevator, you go to the top floor. There you will find The Loggia, which is catered by Wolfgang Puck. And if you make reservations and show up in between 7 and 10, you can get your fine dine on. Which would then be a win / win because I hear the food is great. But probably expensive seeing as that the menu had no prices. Or at least i dont remember them, I wasnt sober, maybe I managed not to see it. It was dark too, yea thats it.
This place though, is on the roof top of the Highlands and the Club behind that. Which used to be the VIP or an extra room to the highlands but i dont know. Actually, the guy who promotes this spot, he moved from the place in the back to upstairs from the highlands. The loggia is part indoors, part outdoors. There is enough outdoors to bring a jacket or something if its cold. Plan on being outside all night is what im saying. You dont HAVE to be once you get up there, but its hard to avoid at some point. The atmosphere at this place though, is great. There is plenty of room to dance (2 dance floors / 4 dj’s). Plenty of room to sit. Like if your name was Drew and that kinda thing was important to you. Drinks are nice and strong ( and not cheap — bring doe ). Also, at this place you are liable to see a celeb or 4, nobody SUPER over famous that might have paparazzi in the place. Just celebs that you may or not miss if youre too drunk lol. Maybe that just me.
But damn this place. Im going to be honest. If you expect to have a good time here. ARRIVE EARLY. Especially if you dont have enough females with you. It will be a sour situation. The security will look you in the face all night and have the nerve to have a tiny conversation with you. Even if it is a pack of girls. Still get there early, because there are another 30 packs of girls ahead of you. This place has no shortage of females. Thats why i say, arrive early, Doors open at 10. Dinner is over at 11. if you get to the kodak center at 10:30 on a night thats suppose to be poppin, forget about it. Guest list cloeses at 10:30. AND you might have to come out of pocket 20+ if you manage to get after 10:30. This place is guest list only. And here is the website where you can get more information AND get on the guestlist. (Click Here Homie) When you send that email make sure you tell them you heard about the place at the greyrepublic.om, not that by doing that you will be rewarded with anything special. But its good for the site lol.
Hopefully I didnt manage to turn you off to this place. I really like it. Im just not one for arriving early to a damn thing. Its a real effort. Usually, I dont make it in time. I either have to give up some doe, or say “fuck this line” and do something else. But the other night, sigh, they were giving away free mojitos until 10:30 (it was a one time thing). Now im not a lush really, but more of a social drinker. Rarely am I drunk by myself. But Peta-Gay, Olivea (i know i spelled it wrong – sorry lol)[thumb:694:r] and I were the first in line that night. Free Mojitos? I made that effort. Hate to sound like a girl, or a lush. But thats just hard to pass up when you wasnt doin shit after 7 no way. Might as well. So I did. And got in line 4 different times. Thats right, we all put down for of them bitches lol. Dont worry, they didnt even spark a buzz. I felt pretty damn dumb for not realizing that they werent going to give these drinks away for free AND put a decent amount of liquor. Oh well, they were still the best damn mojiotos i ever had in my life. They even came with a sugar cane! People were chewing on them all night. Although the mojitos werent strong, I was faded by midnight. Alls well that ends well. lol Did I mention this place closes at 3? This place definitly cracks. If youre willing to not be lazy about getting out the house. Too bad thats not always the case with me. lol
You know what? I find that im hanging out at the kodak center alot. Maybe thats because parking isnt 20 bucks there. Maybe I should just park there and take a cab some where else in hollywood? HM? Let him deal with all that traffic.
