Winter ..

Came here for a Yelp event, absolutely LOVED the space!!! There were great dj sets, good drinks, nice interior decor, and so many different rooms to check out! I will definitely be coming back for other events hosted here.

Pretty chandelier

What a beautiful venue! I'm surprised I've never heard or been here before now. The Reserve is a nightclub in DTLA, situated in a historic 1920s bank vault, blending old-school elegance with modern nightlife. It features multiple rooms with different vibes, playing hip-hop, R&B, and top 40 music. The night I went was more reggaeton and dembow vibes. They offer VIP bottle service, handcrafted cocktails, and a fairly strict dress code. The venue is also available for private events, corporate functions, and filming. It reminded me a lot of the beloved Federal Bar club that was in downtown Long Beach with vault doors downstairs and a speakeasy. I would definitely return to the Reserve for another good night out!

Came here with my friend a few days ago and this place is such a vibe The club is inside what used to be a Bank, so the money + gold aesthetic is everything. Super unique and definitely gives luxury energy. There are photo ops everywhere--like actually everywhere Every corner is perfectly decorated and made for pictures. They even have a Photo Booth for selfies, which we loved. If you're into content, cute pics, and a fun atmosphere, this spot does not disappoint. 10/10 for vibes, ambiance, and photo-worthy moments Let's not forget how welcoming and nice the staff was, Fernando made our experience a night to remember. 10/10 customer service Definitely coming back, but with all of my girlfriends next time

Free photo booth!

Best club in DTLA. Several dance floors with different music to choose from and great bartenders! All of the staff is super friendly! Fernando, in particular, showed us a great time and even made sure we got back to our car safely! Best place for a girls night out! So much fun

We absolutely loved our time here! The photo opportunities were fantastic, and we really appreciated the flexibility of having multiple dance floor options. Fernando took great care of us; he was incredibly helpful and very accommodating! It was 10/10 service by him--we will definitely be coming back soon.

This was very cool

My experience at Reserve was next level. From the moment you walk in, the VIP treatment is on another tier. The structure alone sets the tone luxurious, modern, and designed to make you feel exclusive. The Vault is a whole experience by itself intimate, elevated, and perfectly curated. The music was on point all night, high energy with flawless transitions. Huge shoutout to Fernando, the VIP bouncer he truly set the standard. He took care of everything from start to finish and made the entire experience smooth, effortless, and unforgettable. This isn't just a club, it's a full VIP experience. Reserve delivers.

The Reverse was Lit! I was celebrating my wife's birthday and so we're millennials so definitely had an amazing experience the music was on point. The DJ was playing 2000 hip hop to bad bunny overall great. Jeanine was the one I made the reservation with she was so helpful and attentive. The bottle service was incredible definitely worth the money. The bottle girl was checking up on us which is a plus. Overall we will be coming back again.

This place was a blast! Shout out to the VIP bouncer he was so sweet, welcoming, and had great hospitality!! I love the set up of this place and great vibes! The bartenders were friendly, quick to place our orders, and enjoyed the music all night long. I'll definitely be coming again for a fun night out :)

First of all, let me say the obscure is great, I love the drinks and the atmosphere is amazing. I…read morewant to see all of the seasons and will always be a fan of the alcohol. But that being said ... the membership that you get for purchasing bottles doesn't meet expectations. I have spent upwards of $1000 in bottles over the last few months and that has given me a little bit of a membership. Well, we went in for their newest addition, the devil's quarter, and all was good until the end of the night. Well we're given a limit to drinks at the post show bar. Me, having a membership, thought oh maybe we can stay another hour and have a drink at our favorite place... nope apparently members are only allowed to have fun on Tuesday... so I guess my membership is irrelevant because it's not a Tuesday (when I usually work), not to mention the $500 in bottles I now have to walk around with to find another post show hangout because we were no longer allowed to stay. I would love to be able to spend more at the post show bar but the speakeasy part looses its value if it's limited to even its members.

We came to The Obscure for a friend's birthday and had such a fantastic night. This is definitely…read moremore of an experience than just going out for drinks. The atmosphere is immersive, theatrical, moody, and every nook and cranny of this place is beautifully detailed. Our group embraced the requested all-black dress code, and I was a little disappointed that some other guests didn't play along. When a place puts this much effort into creating a particular world, dressing the part really does make the experience more fun. The spirits themselves were excellent. We tasted vodka, whiskey, and rum, and all three were remarkably smooth, interesting, and clearly very high quality. I loved that the tasting was guided rather than just having drinks dropped in front of us. The storytelling and presentation made us pay attention to what we were actually tasting and gave the evening a nice sense of progression. We also happened to be there while comic artist Matt Harley of Marvel fame was sketching, which felt perfectly suited to the setting and made an already unusual night even more memorable. The space is gorgeous: candlelight, artwork, strange little details everywhere, dramatic lighting, beautiful glassware, and even the outdoor fire element. There's so much to look at that you feel like you're discovering something new every time you turn around. Our whole group LOVES Halloween, so this felt like the absolute perfect way to kick off spooky season. It has exactly the kind of dark, mysterious, slightly magical atmosphere we were hoping for without feeling cheesy or gimmicky. We loved the rum so much that we ended up buying a bottle, which also granted us Level 1 membership, so this definitely won't be our only visit. Such a fun choice for a birthday celebration, date night, or a night out with friends when you want something completely different from the usual bar experience. We're already looking forward to going back and seeing what our new membership unlocks.

This place is a must visit!!!! How did I not hear about…read morethis place before? Booked a reservation easily for a Friday evening, there's not really a bad seat in the entire place. Cute cocktail bar with a view, The view is incredible at sunset on the outdoor patio. We enjoyed cocktails, beer, and the filet mignon sammie. The food was SO good. Perfect for cocktail hour, but they also serve the full menu from castaway here so you could even order dinner if you wanted. Really beautiful presentation for the cocktails, reminds me of Barton G before it closed. They have a buzz button cocktail which was super tasty! Service was extreme friendly,and accommodating. Everyone was making sure we were satisfied throughout out time there. I will for sure be back, and if you're looking for a cute date night spot this it! I will be back to try more of the tapas!

I checked the hours, and it said this place closes at 11. My friend and I came at 9... and guess what... the place was closed. Why? I don't know. We were just told that they'd decided to close early that day. Mind you, Castaway was still open that night. Why would a bar close before its posted hours? ‍

The wait staff was super nice and the service was prompt and attentive. I went on a Monday, right after they opened at 5 pm, it already people sitting at the bar. The crowd was very chill, very typical Echo Park low-key characters, quite a few seemed to know the staff well. The food and drinks were all fine to me, I had a couple old fashions, my girlfriend had a specialty drink with brunt orange something, she liked it. We tried the chicken thighs, fried green tomatoes, and the chicken biscuit. They all were good, my only issue, the chicken biscuit item is not served on a biscuit like I was thinking , its just on a sandwich bun essentially. Overall, I would go again maybe on a Friday or Saturday night to see the difference, if any of the crowd and vibe.
