I can tell you that the bar doesn't check IDs when charging your card. I know this because someone stole my card (I do not even live remotely close to this place), and made two charges totalling $192.06. Thanks bartenders for paying attention. read more

Maurice and Vladz are cool dudes. Very accommodating venue and easy to work with. Cant beat partying here. read more

Rain Studio City - production-friendly too! - Dance Clubs Near Me - Studio City, California

Love this spot! Great music! Awesome crowd! Stan is the best bartender in town! Definitely not a typical snobby bartender. He'll engage into conversation with you regardless if he's busy with a lot of people yelling for their drinks lol They also have parking below and door guys are cool also. Come check it out and see it for yourself read more

Sleazy joint with bad music and middle-aged, pervy clients. The bouncers at the door said something to the effect of "well here they are!" When I showed up with my girlfriend because I guess there were guys outside asking them where all the young girls were....anyway. Not sure how I ended up here but I spent all of twelve minutes here before I got skeeved out and left. The guys at the door continued to catcall me and my friend as we walked out. I definitely won't be coming back! read more

Nice place for salsa dancing. Spacious and good vibes. Drinks are a little expensive so we only got one, but other than that it was a nice place. read more

Really disappointed. Went last night and no one was dancing. Boring music. Boring crowd. This place used to be fun.

Mediocre. That's the best word to explain this place . My problem started with the bouncers & one of them was nice , while the other one was acting like he owned the place & was acting like he had a stick up his butt but nonetheless when I complained the manager said let's talk about this later . . What ? When later lol . Needless to say I've been here twice and this is the second time coming & it's just a waste of my time . Not worth it. Oh and apparently there's no A/C here so that's that ! read more

I went there wanting to dance and the music was amazing! It appears that management is top notch

I dont recommend this place at all for anything. The service is really bad. They overcharge in drinks. The bathroom is dirty and in really bad conditions. Info not recommended this place at all. Bad bad in so many ways. read more

I celebrated my birthday here this past weekend, environment, and customer service was great. We had bottle service, which included free entry for everyone in my party until 10 pm and then 3 people after 10 pm per bottle ordered. The only thing I didn't like was the Dj that played that night. read more

I hate the fact that this club wants to make the decision that they deserve a tip even if I don't want to tip you i am not there to be living a $6 dollar tip every dammm time I want a drink really specially if your drinks are $ 15 each just charge me for the drink at $18 each end of story. I don't think the bar tender deserve a six dollar drink every single time but hey that's how they make money so I order the second time and because i did not want to lieve a tip the bartender did not serve me alcohol thank God I pregame... shame on you i would give you a 0 star but I can't read more

Apparently this is the new location for R&B Live. I came here for the fight. The layout was nice and easy access parking sucks. Oh and the bartender sucks too! You know those Hollywood type who pick & chose who to wait on next no matter who came 1st.... read more

I had my birthday party at this club a few weeks back. It's been my birthday month so Im finally able to sit and write a review. When I got to the club, I let the doorman know it was my birthday and the manager made an appearance and wished me a happy birthday and even bought me a drink! The DJ was really good (was a mix of top 40, hip hop, and EDM). Me and my girls danced all night and had a really good time. I would come here again for sure. Looks like Im going to the Mayweather fight with my friends this Saturday. Hope it's as fun as my birthday!! read more

We walked in with a party of 6 and 1 individual had shorts and sandals and the entire party was denied entrance. Wow!!!!!! Pretty stuck up. Will NEVER be coming her again. read more

Easy dancing nothing intense. Only top 40 hip-hop and typical Spanish and come classics. It's on the second floor off the blvd. and parking is a bit of a drag if it's all full you'll need to valet or park on street. No real major drama here since it's all from all the ratchet areas. Come enjoy cheers! read more

I used to come here all the time was my favorite place to hang out on the weekends until they got a new chef. The quality of food went down tremendously. The food is so bad I wouldn't give it to my dog. The service here went down, I ordered a corona and it took 15 minutes for me to get it. If I was you I would stay away from this place. read more

Overpriced, drinks were small! There are no clear signs to not park in the parking structure next door and when you do, your car gets locked inside. Not one person at Rain wanted to help, from the valet to the security, to the front desk people. You would think they would warn people or at least have some information as to how to contact the people who own the garage. Maybe you should make sure your customers know not to park there ! Or have a heart and actually try to help them out. I will NEVER go back, and i will never recommend this place to anyone.. read more

Went this past Friday and Vlad was amazing. Had a situation and he resolved it quickly & professionally. Would definitely go again

can't really say anything about the Rain Nightclub because I didn't come for a regular Friday/ Saturday night "turn-up." Rain Nightclub was the location that held a fashion show in honor of my cousin who passed away. I didn't buy anything from the bar because I don't drink so I don't know how expensive they are. read more

My friend and I went on Saturday night, and we were not impressed. First of all, it was a great venue. There was no cover charge and free valet, but it all went down hill from there. We had a vodka and redbull and a mojito which tastes like lemonade from a can. The worst part was the dj and the music. Seriously - this is a freaking gay club - so dj play something gay for God's sake (Top 40, Gagay, Britney or whatever is in). It seems like the dj has never been at a gay club before. You should know the music is bad when there is less than 1/5 of the gay guys were out on the dance floor. I think the club has great potential if they play better music and serve better drinks. read more

We checked out Rain because previous reviews intrigued me--I had hoped this would be a great location for my birthday party this year. Big time NO. First of all, if it ever was a gay bar, it certainly isn't anymore. In fact, the bouncer was pretty emphatic about explaining that the past reviews weren't accurate. Little did he know that being a gay bar actually would have won them points, as that's more along the lines of what I was looking for. Currently, it's just a run of the mill douchebag club, which is a shame because the space inside is actually really great. Nice decor, spacious booths, big dance floor (which not a single person was on), and lots of laser lights. Aesthetically, it was perfect for my party, but the scene was too decidedly elitist Persian for me to feel like my friends would have a good time there. To be clear, I have no problem with Persian folks, but we appeared to be LITERALLY the only patrons who weren't part of that crowd. We happened to show up on a night where, according to the bartender, there were "11 Persian birthday parties" booked. I guess this place knows who its fans are and really caters to them. Our bartender, Ben, was awesome, and I really debated giving this place a third star just for him. Very good drinks, super friendly, and he made an effort to make us feel welcome after a rather off putting experience at the door. He invited us to sit right at the end of the bar where he could chat with us before the place filled up. We also happened to meet the owner, who seemed way more down to earth than the club itself. Here's why Rain only gets two stars, and why we won't be returning. When we arrived at the door, the hostess says I can get in for free, but it'll be $20 for my boyfriend. He literally let out a laugh. I told her if that was a case, we wouldn't be coming in. I mentioned that the purpose of my trip was to scope it out for a party, and if this was the sort of place that would charge all my male guests, I wasn't interested. Newsflash: There are hundreds of clubs in LA who offer the same level of entertainment, who won't charge dudes cover. P.S. Your club is in a strip mall. She exchanged looks with another staff member and then tells me it's because the club is booked for a private event. We told her that there had been no mention of that on their website, nor was there any signage out front saying the club was closed to the public. Just as I'm saying "well, we're outta here then", she suddenly changes her mind and lets us in for free. When we later found out the "private event" was just the series of bday parties, not in fact a rental of the entire space, we left feeling as though the hostess has tried to bullshit us because she simply didn't want slightly underdressed midwesterners stinking up her club. I don't deal with places who give me attitude, or judge me on the amount of Gucci I'm not wearing. They lost me. Hopefully someday they change it BACK to a gay club and I can try again. read more

I went for the first time on sept 26th on saturday. Music was good, drinks were ok. Had to look for the one good bartender. The night over all was great. Exept till 4 days later. When i noticed i was being charged an extra $126 on my bank card. Never again will i use my bank card or go back. read more

Great service as for my 1st time there, but ends to soon at 2 am they close everything down, at least give people 1 hr to chillax and as per security guys they pretty much kick you out instead of letting you know the time is up. read more

I attended this lounge for a friends birthday and the music was good that was the only highlight of the lounge the security is amazing. But the drinks were ridiculous I paid $14 for a shot of 1800 and $10 for a shot of well vodka a total rip off cause it's not that hoppin. The atmosphere is nice it's a nice lounge aesthetically but the crowd is mostly just f*** boys and older creeper men. read more

If you're looking for a great venue to enjoy a night full of fun , tasty drinks ,hot bartenders & fabulous dance music RAIN is the Spot to be !! My friends & I have an epic night every time we choose RAiN Maurice is very welcoming & Stan will definitely make sure your drinks are Perfect read more

I went on a Friday night. I'm not a fan of pop music so it didn't appeal to me. Most likely will be a happy hour bar and restaurant. It will be difficult to compete with the weho clubs. Staff was friendly and parking is available. The crowd was mixed between young and old. As a studio city resident I hope rain succeeds but I think it's too soon to tell. read more

Went here for my friends birthday! First time going to this club. The people working here are very nice and make sure that people are taken care of. Although I found clubbing isn't really my thing, Rain was an excellent experience. I may not be the type to come on a regular basis, but definitely would come back for a special occasion. read more

I was confused (haha) when I walked into this place, is it a straight bar that's actually a gay bar? Gay bar that is straight? It was techo night (ick) but since we got in for free we suffered through it as much as possible. The drinks were weak--and $10 for a cranberry and vodka? Get outta here! Which is what we did and went someplace better. read more

I spent several hours at this new club today ... mostly because I wanted to see the Madonna halftime show on a big screen! This was actually my second visit to Rain. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful ... I love the design of the place ... and I hear they're going to be having regularly scheduled special events, like movie nights, TV viewing parties (like for "American Idol," "Smash," and the like, I would imagine. I stopped going to gay clubs a long time ago ... feeling a little too old for it ... but I really had fun at Rain ... I will be returning! Highly recommended. read more

The energy, the music and the people are what makes this club so good. Drinks are a bit expensive but so is everywhere else. They have tight security which makes it a safe environment; I once saw a guy get denied entrance because he had a gun. Music seems to be the same set most of the time. Bartenders...this place needs new ones because the current ones are lacking and need improvement. read more

Soo I was invited to club with high hopes of the DJ having some hits, my visit was July 2,2016. Cut to the chase it cost $15 to get in and when I got there globs of people were leaving and I thought hmm this is odd so I asked Alejandro who took my money at the door if it sucked could I get a refund he said yes. The bar is crawling with lurkers and the dance floor felt like I was in line at an amusement park. The Dj was weak ( mostly spanish tunes) . I was there for literally 15 minutes. The dance floor is roped off and it felt like I was trapped. Needless to say I left and when I left I asked Alejandro who spoke perfect english when I gave him my money fell short for a response when I asked for my money back. The best part about the bar would be the two bounces outside. read more

Saturday evening for a show, it was cool... but a little later ~12:30 for dancing... it was dead.

First time checking the place out , for a spot in the San Fernando valley area it's not to bad , aslong as you get in free at least . The DJ's are great an so there best with the crowd , it's wasn't to packed but all the ladies were looking great I can't lie , drinks are pricey , so you might want to get your pre game on some were then , so you don't kill your pockets when you do your wallet check in the morning .. All an all had a fun time .. read more

Great place for Latin dancing, good crowd, enough space and great service. Not much of parking but they have a valet. read more

As a filming location, I would highly recommend Rain Nightclub. We did a large commercial shoot here last month for our client's national ad campaign. I was incredibly pleased to find a nightclub this good without having to go into Hollywood. It's a little challenging at first to find the club. It's in Studio City and although it's right on Ventura Blvd. just west of Laurel Canyon, it's situated at the back of the Times Square plaza. You have to drive into the plaza to find it, the suite cannot be seen from the street. This actually worked quite well for our purposes, to be away from the pedestrian traffic of the area and curious onlookers. The owner was generous, knowledgeable about our filming needs, anticipated and resolved many of our logistical concerns, and in the end everything we needed was conveniently self-contained. Cast and crew parking was provided underground; parking for the grip truck was provided above ground; a private area was roped off in the back for our talent holding and catering; an empty suite in the plaza was provided for hair, makeup and wardrobe close by yet away from set; location reps were always available attending to all our various needs from assisting with deliveries and pickups to operating club lighting. We were even able to arrange 'walk-aways' at night, saving us valuable tear down and set up time each day. On our first day of filming, we were treated with a 'spot-check' from the local authorities who checked out our permits and set-up and passed us with flying colors, offering to return to help us with anything we might need! Plenty of outlets throughout the place for lighting, laptops and charging batteries; modern décor all available as props; no problem moving furniture around as needed; even wireless internet for the production office. Also, we were able to utilize the Peet's Coffee & Tea and Café Aldente located right in the plaza. Café Aldente delivered and set up amazing gourmet food each day right on time of a caliber more than appropriate for our international clients and ad reps. They too are familiar with the film industry, frequently providing catered meals for television productions such as 'Up All Night'. The bathrooms were very clean, with multiple stalls and mirrors, much needed for our talent. Overall, our experience shooting at Rain Nightclub was perfect for our production. I would definitely shoot there again! read more

It's a great place to go when u feel like salsa dancing with randoms and seeing young Mexican couples hang out and fight bout their drama

Went last night, Friday 2/17. The venue is very nice and it's great to have a place like this in the valley. The club was somewhat crowded with a mixed crowd of all ages. Not much diversity through The music was top 40 with an electro beat. Now for some of the negatives: -weak drinks -need better looking gogo's (and not just white ones) -this place needs to decide if they are going to be a gay club or a lesbian hang out. The day I went it seemed more like a lesbian spot. -need to do more advertising, in weho and other gay clubs. read more

Very decent lounge. The vibe is chill along with the people who I saw attend. I actually met an amazing soul within these doors. Great drinks and music to have you dancing all night with the right company. read more

Don't bother...they have too much going on (not in a good way) and it's too much of a hassle to get there!! Save your money and go to Oil Can Harry's....You'll at least have fun!! read more

Super cool spot to have an event. Lots of cultural events going on here since they've moved away from the gay scene. Events are spuratic and by appointment which may frustrate some partygoers. read more
