Alejandro F.

I am not a nightclub person (just for reference, this past weekend, when I visited Terra Cotta, was just my 2nd time at a club), despite that, my time here was fantastic. Let's start with the obvious one: the line outside. The bouncer was this very courteous, professional and well-dressed African American man. He thoroughly checked my ID, and very politely let me in without a fuss. Many times people complain about security in a place (especially nightclub) and give the place bad reviews. That just means the bouncer/security person was just doing their job and this individual didn't like it! Upon entering, you're greeted by two other security guys that will pat you for guns. I am absolutely 100% behind this practice, as it gives everyone peace of mind knowing you're just vibing with a bunch of unarmed fellows (as it should be!). The inside has a bar to the left that runs all the way across the end of the venue, and a dance floor to the right with a nice setup. The DJs were great, the music was fantastic, and the people were fenomenal. Every member of the audience/patron/customer here, whether young or old, male or female, was friendly and a blast to party with. I either got lucky and went in a particularly good day, in which people just happened to be fun to talk to, and friendly, or maybe this place is always like that. Who knows? I had a blast nonetheless. The entrance is free, but there's a catch: water at the bar is 5 dollars (for a water bottle, obviously) and it makes sense. They still need to make money. I don't drink at all, so I just got a water bottle and danced the night away. I only had to use the restrooms once, and there was a short, quick and efficient line to use it. That was also due to the great clientele that frequents this place, just nice vibes overall, even in being quick, and efficient when using the facilities, and getting out of the restrooms quick so that others could use it. By 1:45am, things had to start winding down, and the DJ let us know about it. By the time the lights came on at 2am (pics posted) everyone quickly and in the most organized fashion started exiting through the other side of the venue: the back exit of the establishment. People still linger outside if you want to talk more and some even go to the Dennys nearby. My overall experience at this discotheque was nothing short of sensational. 10/10.

Outside line area
Ericka B.

Met up with some friends here but we arrived at exactly 11pm. It took about 45 mins for us to get in so get there early so you don't waste your time. Some people even left the line too (and I don't blame them). I also noticed that there's LOTS of dudes and a big group of them in front of us were having trouble getting in which made the process of us getting in lagged. Inside looked small and the layout was a bit weird. There is no cover charge here but the drinks are wayyy too overpriced. That's LA for you I guess. Their music is mainly EDM which I don't mind but if you want variety in music, go elsewhere. Definitely not my first choice but might be convenient for those that live in KTown.

Rudest bartender I've ever encountered
Hannah K.

We came here because someone recommended this place to us but we were extremely disappointed with the service. For the first round of shots, I noticed there was a "BOTTLE SERVICE" charge of 20%. I asked about this extra charge and she mentioned that all orders over $50 have an automatic 20% gratuity charge. Ok that's fine, even though this was never disclosed to us. For the next and last round, I asked the bill to be split into 2 bills. The bartender became aggressive and said "You can't do that, I'm still going to add 20% to each of your bills". I asked why, when the bill isn't over $50. She responded "so you're not gonna tip me?" I never once said that and told her I intended to tip, but I don't think an automatic 20% gratuity should be tacked on to every order without my consent, especially when the order wasn't reaching the minimum for the gratuity. We ordered one round of bottom shelf shots and one round of vodka sodas - nothing that required her to do anything expect pour. She continued to make rude gestures and talked about me to others around us. Again, I was planning on tipping like I always do at bars. It's not even about the 20% automatic gratuity. It was her demeanor, presumptuousness, and superiority complex over her customers. I tip for good service, which I received none of this night.

Denied entrance of my mobility scooter because I was a liability, when I asked what ADA accommodations they had was told to leave.
Jessica C.

F*UK this place in the ear.!!!! I'll keep it brief as possible because I'm getting upset just writing this review. I was not let in because the main C@ckHole said I was a liability with my mobility scooter but did offer us the option of a $300 table to be let in. I was beyond livid and I made a scene, so much a scene, I had called the police to file a complaint report. They knew that as well and purposely closed the club an hour early too avoid dealing with the police. Several patrons kept showing up not understanding why the club was still open inside but the doors where locked outside. After waiting way too long, the cops never showed up & a one sided report would have been hearsay. I went the more mature route and wrote a discriminatory disability report to the Office of the Attorney General and intend to take it as far as I can. Call me a liability again A$$Face

Left my wallet and purse here by accident on a Saturday night (had lots of drinks). Called the next day and they said they were closed until Friday (sigh), so I wouldn't be able to retrieve it until then. It's now Friday, and I went in and received my purse and wallet in perfect condition! Nothing seemed to be touched or out of place. Thank you Terra Cotta!!! Also a fun place to drink at!

My partner and I are gay and came here on a Saturday night expecting to have a fun evening. Unfortunately, the night was any thing but that. The security guards seemed to be extremely homophobic and when we started to show affection, asked us to leave and then became extremely physically aggressive. One of them started to put me in a chokehold and the others started to physically beat my partner and others attacked me as well while calling us homophobic slurs. They even tased my partner. They only stopped when I threatened to call the police. Reading some of the other reviews, it seems like the security guards regularly over step their bounds and extort other customers. This was by far one of the worst experiences my partner and I ever had at a bar in los angeles. It was extremely humiliating and degrading. I hope that people involved in situations like this never have a decent life. They'll never understand how seriously other people take their jobs.

Apparently you can't breakdance in the club that's for dancing! Owner of the club was completely obnoxious, I hanged my jacket on the hooks meant for CLOTHES and was scolded that the hooks was not meant for clothes. I been coming to this establishment for years but only saving grace is the drinks. Do not come here, lots of clubs in k town much more accommodating like break room, kiss kiss bang bang, even sip boba. Do NOT COME TO THIS ABG TRAP . The security are Obnoxious snobs who are always looking for altercations. I respect the bartenders of this establishment who are always nice and accommodating, I hope you get better ‍ jobs. This club was always the alternative to arena, now I see why. Anyways here is a picture of the OWNER of the establishment flashing his light at me for dancing . Apparently I was too good, and was almost asked to step out.

Food: Rice slushy had a strangely strong cinnamon-like taste to it that traditional rice punch doesn't have which was so overpowering, it made it difficult to go back for more sips. Oysters - good though small, enjoyed the kelp mignonette Korean Aguachile - Delicate tilefish completely overwhelmed by cold kimchi broth with actual icy slush in it and small amounts of fish Steak Tartare - The hot stone bowl seemed to defeat the purpose of a tartare, as it cooked the steak once mixed. The perilla leaves were also cut in large strips relative to the beef. Chilled Acorn Noodle - The perilla oil was nonexistent in flavor though the dish didn't need it and was good without. Overall, portions were small for the price and dishes weren't well-executed so despite being excited for more Korean options in West LA, I'd much rather make the drive to Koreatown for better portions, prices, and flavors.

First off, I have to praise 1933 group because I have loved every single bar they have revitalized and this one is no different. In keeping with their MO, The Lucky Tiki is a speakeasy with a vintage vibe. I won't give away how to get in but let's just say, it's near the front of Highland Park Bowl. My husband and I didn't have a reservation, but we were able to put our name in and got seated about an hour or so later. I was amazed as soon as I walked in the door! It's just floor to ceiling decorated with everything tiki. So many fun details and even interactive elements that turn on when a particular drink was ordered. That was probably my favorite part honestly. We ordered the Tiki Diablo, which is a large tiki drink with a flaming volcano. And yes it does have an interactive element. It was really good. Very fruity and strong, but not overly so. Service was excellent. Our waitress was on it and even waited to make sure my husband was back from the bathroom before lighting our drink on fire. We didn't try any food this time, but a lot of people were ordering the Hawaiian pizza. Do with that what you may. Will definitely be back ti try more drinks and food. Was the perfect spot for a lively date night!

How about instead of accepting $$$ for a private event that will deny customers their reservation, they make the private event work around what is available? Terrible way of doing business, but I hope they get lots of $$$ and engagement for the privileged private event attendees.

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

I've been waiting to try this place for ages so on the drive back to work I was excited to steal a piece of meat from the bag. Initial bite flavor was good, meat was tender just a bit on the chewy side.. I wasn't bothered by it too much as I'd have to leave it in an oven warmer at work. Trying to keep food warm, in doing so, I knew there'd be only two possible outcomes, melting tender or either tough & dry. So, the dish of meat and rice sat in the warmer for almost an hour hour and a half. The downhill slope.... Set the "meat " on the veggies and began to eat. Meat after meat, I kept experiencing the same exact texture. It was the same exact rubbery chew, I initially tasted. Each and every piece was the same exact flavor. There was no peak, there was no pitfall. If you cook or grill, you know this is a red flag. Normally, consistency would be a good thing, a Master craftsman type experience, but this was NOT it. As go on, I get the sinking feeling, this can't be real meat. I lock in, the deeper I dig, each piece looks the same, broken apart the same, tastes the same, just various shapes. They can call me crazy for this one - I'll stand by it. Something is not right here. I'm not even going to throw it away. I'm going to study it for the next few days and post an updated review. I hope I'm wrong but as of right now, I'll never revisit this place. Too freaky of an experience. We
