Yeah I said it just 2 stars. Went this last Saturday to the show. Requirements were formal attire men in dress shirts ties or bow ties. We paid $260 for a 4 person table. Got seated on the top floor with these huge disco balls blocking our view 50% of the time. We had to leave our table and for a full view go downstairs for the show. I'll leave that there. Women dressed in formal wear. Yes I wore my heels and brushed off some dust ;) We got there thinking there was going to have at least an appetizer menu. We had to order $60 per person so we thought with appetizers it could happen easy. Well when we saw the menu: charcuterie board, pita chips with hummus, pizza. Ok we ordered the board and pita. What we got was white $.99 paper plates with down cheese, nuts, apricots. Ridiculous $22 for a paper plate. The pita chips came with no hummus in a paper boat they were all crumbs. I can't believe we paid so much money to dress up, get a $260 table for paper plates with no utensils, no hummus. Ordering 2 sets of these because we didn't want to get sick from drinking on an empty stomach. I believe we ordered 4 drinks each by the nights end (cups were small too) our bill came out to $413! We asked for a receipt to which the waitress stated she couldn't get us. So the night came out to close to $650! And we were served on paper plates, no meal. It's a rip off. The show was nice but we had to be walking around to actually see it. Never doing this again!

Mambo Craze was an absolute delight from start to finish. The performers brought incredible energy to the stage, and my friends and I loved it. Anyone looking for a night of vibrant performances and classic cabaret/burlesque flair will absolutely enjoy this show.

My friends and I had blast this past Saturday night "Loved " Mambo Craze event , it was a perfect classy/ritzy night out with friends, we enjoyed the yummy drinks , salsa class, Latin music, social dancing and the icing on the cake was the amazing line up of performers . It was such an enjoyable night.

Divine beings being fabulous and emulsifying the setting of opulence.

Mambo Craze Cabaret offers the most opulent, transcendental experience in showcasing top quality acts from burlesque, to cabaret, to both combined, to acrobatics, to live music that enamours us all into a romantic free flowing dance. One of the greatest entertainment experiences you will ever have. After one experience I must say I am hooked. Such an honour to be a part of the mambo craze family.

Meeting and chatting with MC Kenzie Anne.

Awesome event from beginning to end. As we entered it felt old timey. It was a great set up. The performances could be seen from any angle and we took advantage of that. We moved around the venue and had a great view. The MC Kenzie Anne was great. Every performer out did themselves. We really enjoyed the birthday cake surprise dancer. Now I know where I'll have my birthday next time. The band and DJ did an awesome job. Bar service was quick and easy. Ambiance was very welcoming and classy.

Absolutely love and recommend this event that transports you to the Cabaret era with live music and performances. Makes for a fun night of salsa dancing and entertainment. Be on the lookout they host this event once a month. Don't miss out!

The Mambo Craze event is unlike any other show in LA. If you have the opportunity to see it, you have to! Wear your gown or tux because when you walk in the door you will be transported back in time to the Prohibition days of flapper girls and pinups. At this modern day speakeasy, you'll see the most beautiful and talented performers strut their stuff cabaret-style, take a swim in a martini glass, and get it on to the saxophone. In between majestic performers, a live band is taking down the house while you sip on your old fashion or dance samba on the main dance floor. We attended as a group of ladies, no regrets as this was an unforgettable experience! I would recommend this uniquely spectacular monthly show to anyone looking for a classy good time.

We decided to stop by La Cita Bar after dinner tonight because we were already in downtown Los…read moreAngeles and wanted to have a few drinks afterward. I've heard of La Cita for years, and this is definitely one of those places that has been around for a while and has that classic Downtown LA bar feel. There was a little bit of a line when we arrived, but it moved pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait too long to get inside. Tonight there was a $15 cover charge. Once we got in, we went straight for some drinks and had a beer and a couple of cocktails. The bar was pretty busy, and it did take a little while for us to get our drinks, but we eventually got them. The DJ was playing a lot of good Spanish music, which really added to the atmosphere and made it a fun place to hang out and have drinks. One thing I thought was really cool was that they had a photo booth inside. I wasn't expecting that, and it was a fun little extra. They also have an outdoor bar area, which was nice because it gives you another place to hang out and take a break from the crowd. Overall, La Cita has that typical Downtown LA bar vibe busy, energetic, casual, and definitely geared toward having drinks, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. If you're already downtown and looking for a place to have some drinks and enjoy Spanish music, it's definitely worth checking out. We had a good time stopping in after dinner!l.

It looks like a fun place to hang out, dance, and listen to live bands if that's your thing. There is a tiny stage area that was sectioned off, and I imagine the place easily gets packed. The wood interiors have seen better days, and the seating is somewhat sparse to make room for a larger dance area. It looks like the type of place that gets stuffy quickly as there aren't any windows from what I recall. They have a patio, but we didn't make it out there. There were a couple of TVs with the World Cup on at the time, but I'm not sure if they keep sports on the screens all the time. Be ready to have your ID checked at the door.

Sneakers r okay! Collard shirt i was told when i called but i dont see everyone wearing one lol. Main floor is hiphop edm old school a little spanish top40!. Basement is spanish, merengue banda bachata salsa reggaeton etc etc. Top is edm house electronic. The music overall is really good! Sometimes they slack, esp on fridays!! They open up the floors one by one for w/e foolish reason lol. I hateeee that. It gets really hot in there and a little too crowded on saturdays. Fridays much more open space, and i love that!. The crowd be dancing. Its a decent vibe. People are a lil to themselves and their circle (typical LA)at times but not too bad. Stay clear of security and bottle service girls, or anyone actually, ppl will push tf out of you... i just stop dancing when whoever starts walking towards me and stare at them . The crowd is pretty consistent.. the girl to boy ratio is decent. A lot of people b walking around and its so annoying. Theres a time and place bro. MORE DANCING AND LESS WALKING PLEASE. theres lines to go to another floor which is annoying af. Those lines take up mad space on the middle main floor. I Didnt drink. Fridays and saturdays are really have two different vibes.. Theres a few seats around but dont count on it. Unless u buy a table of course. This club picks up fast by the way! Call them for questions and check their website. They check ID. Pretty sure you have to be 21. their website says there is parking behind the building but idk. Parking places around are $15. 15 mins waiting on line usually if u dont come late. Cash or credit good here. This is lowkey my spot lol. Been here several times since i found this place may 2022. I love the music here. WHEN THEYRE NOT SLACKING AND WALKING AWAY FROM DJ'n & talking to friends bs'n. AND WHEN THEYRE ACTUALLY ENGAGED WITH THE CROWD, making ppl move they body. Ayo thanks for playing the weeknd blinding lights ... XOTWOD! the main floor music is better on saturday. The top floor music is better on friday lol. Consistently. The basement is always lit. Again, things could b hit or miss but nonetheless, this spot, club mayan, arena ktown, doesnt fail me and they all a different vibe. Wonder what will be next haha

Kiss Kiss is a ""speakeasy"" style club in K-town (parking theoretically available on side streets + metered though you're better off using rideshare) that neighbors another ""speakeasy"" style club around the corner. What's changed about Kiss Kiss? Drink prices for one! They've multiplied by 1.5x at least (!) and now they seemingly do not limit capacity at the club because we felt like we were in a can of sardines in there. The bartenders are still nice and polite at least. The music is also not at all any good anymore. We came on Halloween night because (1) we are familiar w/ Kiss Kiss and (2) we figured K-town was less chaotic than WeHo. This is where we learned they had tickets for sale at the door to get in (please brace yourselves,,,, it was an astounding $45......). We sucked it up and paid (our mistake we would soon learn). The night itself was advertised as a 70's disco Halloween event. At NO POINT in the entire night was 70s music played as every. single. song. was synth/house music. At the most maybe 4 songs were synth/house/EDM remixes of 70s music. Not to mention!!! They only played 1 Halloween song all night! The only positive from the night was the decor was nice. Security guards at the bathroom side make you leave your drink "under their watch" while you use the restroom. I stayed behind and switched with my friend to keep a constant eye on our drinks because the man on duty was doing everything BUT watching people's drinks!! In a town where women are known to be roofied frankly quite often is insane to me. TLDR; Cover fee is $$, drinks are $$, place is so packed you're bumping into people ever 5 seconds, security is useless, do not come here.

I stood up and kindly asked the manager hey i fell really hard jt was really embarrassing but your floors are super wet. He then said "are they clean now" and i said yes the. He said "well me as a man i would go ahead and stand up and deal with it" i said okay well i was just trying to inform you. Then he told me i just wanted to get a free drink tried to gaslight me. He then asked his assistants to record me inside. I felt harassed and i honestly just told him that all I wanted was an apology i also told him that his approach was bad and instead of saying what he would do he could just have told me im sorry u fell. He then proceeded to tell me that i had to leave and that i seemed "intoxicated" of course im at a club and thats their excuse. Oh hes here hes intoxicated. I dont want anything for free. I have my own business. All i want is for then to take accountability and get a better manager. Seriously someone better that knows hospitality could be running this spot. This is the only spot in LA and orange county where Ive had a problem. Above is the "business card" he gave me to intimidate me. The funny part is that he calls his "security " and they do anything he tells them and manipulates them into saying something they dont even know. I will be pursuing legal action unfortunately just because of the unprofessionalism and the lack of conduct from the manager and not only that. The way this manager handles the club I will say this and its a fact 100% his bouncers scan IDs and they dont even check the age. I have proof on video. They dont check the age. They let underage girls and boys in here.
