This past Friday I attended the Dining in the Dark at the City Club and had so much fun. I was…read moresigned up via Renaissance club and so I was seated with members from the club and we ended up fast friends laughing joyfully as we ate blindly. First, there is parking at the building but it's easy to miss because of traffic but it's a quick enterance and then down a steep tight hill into the lot. Valet is there but I found a self parking spot. For the event our parking was validated which made the parking only $8 which was a relief since parking around the area can be quite pricey! Inside the room all the tables are intimately set up according to how many people were on the reservation, and the room is surrounded by windows where you can see the amazing LA view. I love that according to what you're going to eat you get a color coded candle. Meat is red candle, Fish is blue, and vegetarian is green. When it is time to go dark they announce and you blind fold yourself with a blindfold that you get to keep at the end! There are 3 courses and I will not ruin it by telling you what I ate so you can be surprised. After each course the chef comes in and he tells you what the food was. I honestly expected that because my sight was gone that I would be hyper aware but somehow I guessed wrong about some of the ingredients! It was such a cool experience and the dessert was so good I wanted more. Dining in the dark was such a wonderful experience. If you need date ideas this would be a really great date idea! After the dinner was over, I explored the 51sr floor a little before heading to the elevator and it's really beautiful up there. There are some rooms with a TV and table and chairs and all the windows. In the waiting area there are even binoculars to use. Such a cool experience I would definitely do it again!

Beautiful views from the top of this building! I've typically come here for finance events and…read moreconferences so my perspective is purely from a meetings and workshop POV. Staff is friendly and helpful and the catering is pretty good. I enjoy seeing DTLA from this vantage point as there aren't too many other buildings out there that have similar views. Only thing is that this is valet only. So hopefully you're being hosted for parking because it's pricey!

It is an exclusive club so you have to be a member or invited by members to use the club. The facilities are a bit old, or be nicely maintained. They've updated the rooms and bathrooms nicely so no worries for modern comfort. I think their facilities, for example, nice banquet, halls, and rooms, would be great for private events. However, for their price point, I think there are many modern hotels in this area, for example, the Intercontinental, that would be better value for your money.

And if you don't want to be in the mix they have a gallery with great works of art where it's nice to sit and enjoy a drink or lean against the wall and chill. Service is unlike any other! Candy is a fantastic bartender! Makes an incredible drink. Also their signature cocktails are soooo good. If I'm not getting a tequila soda I get their espresso martini and it's one of the best I've ever had. I've also had "Wifey material" which was really nice as well. If I'm going out for just a drink with my bestie or a night out with the whole gang this is the spot for sure! Also should mention that everyone here is on point! Looking absolutely incredible both men and women.

Make a bigger place bro so we can party and charge $30 for men & $10 for women.

The shrink menu was curated for the Lounge, and they were really yummy. I won't talk too much about them in this case they were limited offerings for just the lounge. I will speak to their wine selection, which includes great wines and natural wines too. The wine service was amazing as well. I got some snacks to start off the night, like the cheese board and toasted bread. Both were really well done and delicious. I would definitely come back for a date night. It is very cozy and cute here. The decor and seating options are beautiful, and there is an outdoor area to play games as well. The cool thing that they offer here is an all-inclusive wedding package for up to 35 people for just $10k-- that's a steal!! Might mess around and get married, honestly. Parking is a little tricky, but there is a park nearby. I assume there is parking there, but I ended up parking in their parking lot, which is reserved for other businesses during regular hours.

For good or bad, The Adventurers Club is an LA institution.

It feels like stepping into a time machine, like going into one of those forgotten old libraries in the movies where the hero goes to visit a crotchety old academic for historical context. There are stuffed animals and ephemeral from 100 years of exploration by its former members, including Buddy Ebsen, John Anson Ford, Sterling Hayden, and Dick Kelty of Kelty backpack fame. They have a weekly dinner and discussion open to the general public, and while the dinner isn't much to speak of, the proceeds goes to keeping the club afloat, so is a well worth the cost just for the experience of visiting at least once.

We headed downstairs for the event and kicked things off with appetizers. that hummus with pita and fresh veggies? dangerous. smooth, flavorful, and beyond addictive. I had three plates and would've gone back for more if i didn't need to save room. I thought, "okay, this is a solid start"... but you know how these things go, sometimes the appetizers are the peak. Not here! Then... the entrées came out, and I knew I was in the right place. We enjoyed: fresh, crisp salad juicy fried chicken creamy mashed potatoes steamed broccoli a vegan mushroom pasta so good it had me singing and humming. The standout: tender, perfectly cooked salmon topped with pickled veggies -- an unexpected treat that took the flavor to a whole new level. after one bite, Iinstantly knew this is how i'll be cooking my salmon from now on. i'm talking rich, savory, soulful perfection. The staff? wonderful. attentive, kind, and fully in tune with the energy of the event. the kind of service that makes you feel cared for without hovering. Overall, the gathering spot left me thoroughly impressed -- from the ambiance to the food to the hospitality. I would absolutely host an event here, and i'll be back whenever i'm in town because I fully intend to work my way through their entire menu. This place is a gem. Check them out!
