"I've never had a bad time here. The main issue is the cover bounces around from $20 to $100 per person and it isn't particularly close to other fun bars, so its a gamble to show up. Once you're inside though the vibe is great and the marionettes are hilarious."

"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."

"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."
