    Karoake at the Blue Goose Lounge
    Tony Y. Jr. Y.

    If you're tired of going through the blues, it may be a good idea to get together with some fun people and hangout at the Blue Goose Lounge. After receiving an invite from my Yelp buddy Antho L., I found myself along with other Yelpers, Ed C., Winston H., Winfield H., Antho L., and others at this small but very cool place owned by the very cool Doug, who also happens to be a Yelper. Doug made sure everyone was comfortable, as he mingled with the crowd, explained the layout of the place and, overall, just gave assurance that this is a place to have some fun. Ed C. was allowed to bring and play his own mix of music, which was great. Everyone enjoyed this mix of music so much, that we kicked off the dance segment with none other than the "electric slide". We all did dance moves from the 70s up to current moves, as much as we could. After listening to the incomparable music mix from Ed, it was time for karaoke. This was too funny, cool, and just plain entertaining. All jokes aside, I'm just glad Simon Cowell, from American Idol, wasn't there to criticize because there would've been much criticism! After having much fun, you can go to the bar and order a drink and/or, surprisingly, the bartenders were approaching the customers to make sure they were fine with their drinks. In addition, food is also served here at inexpensive costs, with the cheapest being the KBBQ tacos at $2. So, it doesn't require much or cost much to have a good time. Again, just get with some fun people, get a nice venue, and be willing and ready to have a good time! Thanks Ed C. for organizing this gathering, thanks Antho L. for the invite, thanks Doug for providing the venue, and thanks to Yelp for helping to bring people together, as well as providing the platform for awareness of local businesses.

    I've been birthday shopping. Oh really Steph? When was your birthday? It's in September, but since I am planning on throwing one hell of a kick ass party with fellow Virgo and homefry Aunny D, the ball has been rolling for quite some time now. Should we do it at The Prince? Should I do another tranny Shakey's adventure? Is Red Lobster calling my name? Well, the questions have all been answered and the search is complete, because Blue Goose is it! I came here on Saturday night for Diana N's bday bash and instantly fell in love. We hadn't even walked in yet and I loved the place. Mostly because I got to meet the owner (doug d) right away and seeing as how he is a yelper, what's not to love about him, hehe. We then entered the joint and saw many friendly and familiar yelpin faces, along with a really cool bar! It's a total mix of styles incorporating everything from industrial to gothic to shabby chic and even has rope as molding in the Fran D room. It's not really called that, but lucky for me, Fran was kind enough to let us cop a cozy squat on the couch in there. :) The only thing that was a misfire on the night of the event was the bar. But I am still going to give this place a strong 5 because the bar staff wasn't the real bar staff and instead was a friend of the owners filling in. I don't know what he does for a living, but if he has any aspirations of bartenderhood, um, I would start re-thinking that like yesterday. Nice enough guy, but man, it was painful. With that said, I am looking forward to going back this week and seeing what the usual crew is pourin. Overall though, this place is great and it even has karaoke. This was of course our cue to leave as me and the karaoke are pretty much mortal enemies and we opted for a night cap of Sambuca in the Valley. But if you love to sing your little heart out in a cool atmosphere in a great location, then Bam, the Blue Goose is your best bet! Good job guys! UPDATE as of August 3rd.... I done sang some Karaoke huurrr and done sang lots of it. Milkshake anyone?

    D'angelo introduced me to Ciroc

    I've wondered what I could add to the existing 30 reviews of BGL..... Last night, on my second visit, I liked BGL even more than the first time. Would you believe the bartender remembered what I drank two weeks before?! and I had only had one drink that night! This time around he recommended a vodka made from grapes, the name of which escapes me. It was good, I must admit, even smoother than Grey Goose, as he promised. (Update: Well that was quick....I no sooner posted the review than Leila told me it is called Ciroc! Thanks Leila! Yes, join us next time...) Doug was there, friendly and welcoming, as always. We all settled in on those comfy soft couches for the Karaoke show, me with my shoes off and feet up, after a long hot day of walking around Sunset Junction. I felt at home, surrounded my my favorite people. SF Yelper Jay H belted out songs, surprising us with her clear, powerful voice. Aimee and Stephy sang too.....and yes, Steph, you can sing. The audience on the couch with me included Myko, JayChan and Frank. When it came time for me to leave, Frank, always the gentleman, walked me to my car. Which reminds me.....parking has been easy for me at BGL, a big plus. Both times I have parked in the lot right in front. I left BGL with a smile, feeling peaceful and appreciated. So...thanks, dear friends. It was one of those nights when your company meant everything.

    Fully stocked bar...that is 'til we get there...
    chico f.

    First Off ! Thanks Donk for kicking me in the head. I'm glad you set me straight, that mule kick got me to put my priorities in order, and write a review on this gem of a place. Secondly, this has become one of my favorite places to come for the past month. I'll tell ya why: A) - Super cool people behind the bar, D'Angello is the man, I mentioned my P.E. locker combo to him and he totally remembered it the next time he saw me...Arigato. Emily is like the coolest bartender in the place. She greets me warmly every time she sees me...which is like 3 - 4 times a week...sheesh, rest the liver ! ! Doug is like super chill, I mean he's gotta be an assassin, cuz he just observes ya, makes a comment and is cool and collected the whole time. B) - The place is sooo unassuming, I mean it looks like a shit brick house on the outside, but inside is where the magic is. The decor is eclectic, like an industrial lounge. Expose brick walls w/ metal drop lights and fine leather couches. The bar itself is like a brass top w/ metal railings, kinda reminds me of a choo choo train...I'm aboard the bar fly express w/ Rick W. as my apprentice. And you gotta love a place so chill and unpretentious, that they have a huggable size Eeyore sitting on top of their cigar machine packed w/ fine examples of going rate cigars. I think I'll drop a cupa quarters in it next time. C) - The layout of the place is really cool, they have this upstairs section, which we monkeys got to look down on the action and a lot of people, literally and figuratively ! Nice place to people watch. The side room is nice and inviting, kinda place that will get rumors started and will def. arch some eyebrows! The dance floor...uh...missing. Good ! ! Who wants to see people bump n' grind to a crazy mix of music that will have 'em hot n' bothered one song, and awkward and sweaty on the next track. Go somewhere else to do that ! (But it's good to know that, there's just enough room to get you're freak on, if you find that special someone....just saying.) D) - They have a Karaoke machine....now now now...before I say anything else, Doug has been accommodating on letting us sing on nights that some of the yelp monkeys are there and the vibe is tolerant of us hacks. But don't go expecting him to put it on, just cuz "I'm the boss of you, you work hard for ME !" If the vibe is chill and you wanna shriek, you'll chase the other coolies away...so don't bust it up, ya dig ! Anywho, that's the rundown of it. I'm pretty sure this place will get better with time for me. I dig the chill vibe and I like the people who come here. And more conveniently just mere blocks from my pad. Cool...I can almost drive straight for a couple o'miles...I swear I can...haha. ONLY complain...no Budweiser...hmmm....sad. Can we do something on this Doug... See ya guys there...I'll be the one at the bar knocking 'em back or I'll be participating on American Karaoke, turning my heart to mush over some crazy azz ballads from the 8o's...(islands in the stream...that is where we are, no one in between...how could we go wrong...) Bonus : You sometimes spot the animal known as Kfsy...man this guy is the straw that stirs the drink ! I wonder what all those uye's would be like if he wasn't in the pictures bending over all the times? Madness, I say....Madness ! !

    Nice! Hip and unpretentious, this lounge is intimate enough to feel cozy yet the decor is swanky as well. Dark, with blue and red lighting, a couple of rooms, leather couches and an outside patio. Great place to hang out, really good use of the space, this place is at it's potential. Don't let Paris or Lindsay in on it, and it'll be alright. The bartenders are cute and nice, too. They treat the customers well and gather up the empty glasses quickly. You can also food order from the good thai restaurant across the street, they'll deliver it. Plenty of parking, with free parking lot in the front. Lively 80's music, karaoke is available, more english songs in the song book would be good. Very comfortable vibe, this chick grab the mike and announced, "Where's my drink??!! Great job, Doug! East of Western, and the 101 freeway, at Kinsley Street, one block pass the 99 cent store, on the north side of Sunset Boulevard.

    Finally! Someone understands....

    What to add to what everyone has already said? Um..... well.... I like it? Great space? Dougggg is super cool? Greg A, although I am still unsure what he does about the lounge, is also pretty darn cool? Johnny F is a hard working bartender who made us re-drinks when the first tasted flat? Has anyone said any of this already? I am sure it's been done so I will save everyone from redundancy. Showed up last night randomly for my first time and was immediately welcomed like I had gone there 1000 times before. The music was a touch loud but at least it was Dre and other good hip hop tunes. Plenty of seating but I was at the bar, right where I wanted to be, amongst good friends I already knew and ones I had just met. It's that kind of place -- cool, yet warm. Yep, I know that's an odd statement but that is the perfect description of a night at BGL.

    This place is in the cuts!!! From the outside, you would never know this chill a$$ lounge exist. Upon entering, it's like entering the twilight zone, the decor is sick!!! Like the name suggests, it's a LOUNGE. I was fortunate to experience UYE at this spot. Thanks to Caroline Y. she organized this so that this visitor from NASHVEGAS can experience what a true yelping experience is like. I must admit, I had a blast. Unfortunately, I was tired and had to bust a CAROLINE, AKA, NINJA BOUNCE, meaning I just left. lol I love you CAROLINE Y. =:o) Doug, the owner, and a fellow yelper did a great job hosting the spot. The fruit plate was delicious, did you cut them yourself? hahaha, Thanks. Ok, let's go back to the review. The place is decked out w/ some comfy couches where people can... yes, LOUNGE. haha. I really dig the brick walls and the blue light in the bar area. I also like the upstairs area. You can go up there and peep out the folks getting drunk or spy on that person you think looks good. hahaha Oh, I like the room to the left from the entrance, it's an open area for peeps to chill. I like the fact that folks can just chill and socialize. I know this spot's new, so go thurr and check it out. We gots to help the fellow yelpers succeed. YA HEARD?!?!

    I held my boyfriend's 25th birthday here. After reading all of the reviews, I just assumed that I could bring a bunch of cupcakes, and take over the kareoke, without warning (Sorry, Doug!) But Doug and his crew were extremely accommodating and fun! It worked out well, though. We found parking outside in the front lot, although there is plenty of parking on the streets. It's easily overlooked outside, but once you walk in, it's amazing! There are leather, cozy couches everywhere, and the lighting made a chummy atmosphere. There's an extensive common area, a private room, and an all-inclusive upstairs loft. It's a total opposite of the exterior, so you must go inside! The mixed drinks were strong, and the beers were cold. They can make anything you want. I don't think there was a big selection of beer, however. My friends were sipping on Sierra Nevadas and Pyramids. At least they were cold. The Gin & Sprite burned so good. When I closed my tab, I was surprised to how inexpensive it was for all of the drinks I ordered, but some of my friends thought it was too much. The bathrooms are in this hall. The women's room was cramped, but it was fine. I never got caught in a line. There's a smoking patio outside. Doug let us use the Kareoke in exchange for cupcakes, but because we didn't email them beforehand, we had to wait closer to closing. So, EMAIL DOUG for KAREOKE!!! Overall, all of his friends were impressed and my boyfriend had an amazing 25th Birthday!! I referred my sister here, and she had her boyfriend's birthday here as well- it turned out perfect! Thank you, Doug! Keep up the good work :D

We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it

Found Anju while searching for best group dinner spots in Koreatown Los Angeles and now I completely understand the hype. First off, making the reservation was incredibly easy. Being able to book a large party online without having to jump through hoops was a huge plus. When we arrived, we got seated almost immediately, which for a large group in KTown on a busy night felt impressive. Parking initially confused us a bit because of the plaza setup, but they offer valet and it ended up being super convenient and worth it. The vibe here is awesome. It's technically an outdoor restaurant, but it still feels intimate and lively. Perfect energy for groups, celebrations, birthdays, catching up with friends, or just hanging out over Korean BBQ and soju. Kyle was our server and genuinely made the night. Super attentive, very accommodating with our large party and baby, constantly checking in, pacing the meal well, and just brought great energy to the table all night. Service like that really changes the whole experience. Food-wise, the marinated beef was phenomenal. Easily one of the standout dishes of the night. So flavorful, tender, and the kind of dish everyone keeps reaching back for. We also ordered an octopus and pork dish that completely blew me away. Probably one of my favorite bites I've had in LA in a while. The asado-style platter wasn't my personal favorite compared to the marinated meats, but it still came with a generous amount and was great for sharing with a large table. We ordered a ton of food, beers, soju, shared plates, and left absolutely stuffed. Considering the amount of food, drinks, and the size of our party, we all felt like the value was really solid. Dessert is definitely more simple and traditional, so don't come expecting some massive dessert menu, but honestly the focus here is the food, drinks, atmosphere, and group dining experience. Overall, this is one of the best large group restaurants in Koreatown if you want great Korean food, strong service, fun social atmosphere, and a place that actually handles big parties well. Will absolutely be back.

Once we arrived the interior had a relaxed, easygoing vibe, modern but cozy, with stylish design touches that made the whole space feel welcoming and unhurried. Even the waiting area with it's low lit seating surrounded by book cases was really cool. My wife, my sister and I had a wonderful table near the fireplace in the center of the dining area. Nearby were draped booths that would be perfect for a more romantic evening. Our server was, Haley...she was incredible. Very personable, helpful and extremely professional. You'll be in good hands if you're lucky enough to get her! Then the food...Wow. My wife and my sister got the filet migons, watching my wife's euphoric reaction of taking her fist bite made my evening! Omg...thankfully, my wife let me try garlic fries that came with the filets, and they were the best I ever had! I got the Langostino Fettuccine...outstanding. You have to dig a little spicy, which I do...but the vodka cream sauce is the real highlight of this dish. For deserts we got the apple cobbler, the creme brulee and sticky toffee cake. All three were fantastic. But I preferred the cobbler and the toffee cake the most. We didn't get the Le Petit Gateau, their chocolate cake...but we decided to get one to go! HA...it's unbelievably rich and pretty tall and big. It's topped with candied wild cheries...it's two days later and we're still eating this yummy treat. All in all...I would recommend this for any occasion...wether you're looking for just a night out with solid service and great food, to a romantic evening. We got there around 6...but later on there was live music with these two gentlemen on guitars that really played perfect atmosphere music. You can't go wrong with a night out at Firefly!

    We celebrated an early Valentine's dinner at Kateen in Hollywood and had such a beautiful…read moreexperience from start to finish. We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

    This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The server was great, the food was delicious, and…read morethe atmosphere was amazing. However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

The service and staff is top notch as you would expect in this part of town. The food is absolutely incredible the steak was cooked perfectly, the appetizer are delightful and plentiful.

    We usually come here for happy hour with my coworkers so I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this…read moreplace yet. The Hideaway is exactly that. A small restaurant located inside this plaza in Beverly Hills that you would never know about unless someone told you. Every time I've been, the waiters, service and management have been so nice and come check on you constantly. There are several sections in the restaurant (I think 3 but I could be wrong), but we've dined in the main room which has a retractable ceiling for when it's too sunny out, they have a bar area that has a small little lounge section in the back of it, and it looks like there may be another section that I haven't been to. The place definitely gives off those Latin vibes and you feel it once you arrive. As for the food, my boss ordered appetizers for the table, which were shrimp tacos, flautas, and empanadas which were all very good! My favorite were the flautas with guac. For my main dish I went with the Chilean sea bass with a side of broccolini and rice. That sea bass was phenomenal! It had a nice sweet glaze on it with a very slit crisp texture on the top. One of the best! The Hideaway goes down as one of my favorite spots in Beverly Hills and I highly recommend checking it out. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

The live music was incredible, the guy playing the sax really knows how to jam. The dancers and musicians were performing together, and did several shows! There's this magical connection between a musician and a dancer that you see and feel as they improvise and work the crowd, the stage, and the whole venue. In between performances there was social dancing, with a lot of great dancers dressed to the nines. The birthday cake performance is something you got to see and experience, totally off the charts, like something you'd see in a movie! The final performance is with a giant martini glass. The girl dances around/in the glass filled with water and then pours champagne all over herself. One of the most wild over the top things I've ever seen! The energy and vibes were off the hook! I highly recommend this for couples that want a special date night, large groups that want a unique experience/entertainment, and people who want to celebrate their birthday in style.

There were definitely not 10 acts and YES then entire chaotic mess of a show was only 15-20 minutes long!!!
