The condescending doorman assumed my gender and said "for three dudes you have to get a table for a minimum of $800" last night. This did not apply to other guests and also the customer service team told me that the table was not required but recommended hours before my arrival. I drove 1.5 hours to get there for them to pull that. read more

Most rude club experience I have ever had. Would not recommend. I thought we left toxic club culture back in the early 2000's.

Don't even bother going here. The bouncers racially profile and reject anyone who isn't white passing. Literally saw throngs of white people go in without problems then the brown people get rejected for no reason other than "not having a table" read more

Thank you Yohan for making this night special. I really appreciate his professionalism and attitude. This places VIBES!

BIG YIKES. It's not even the waiting that's the most terrible part (which was absolutely terrible - all the other negative reviews mentioning the wait experience are accurate), but the already tiny space inside isn't managed well. If you're going to spend your money on a table, it's not worth it - your money is worth more on a table at literally any other place. The music sucks (trying to find a better word than "sucks" but "sucks" perfectly describes it). I would have rather waited one more hour in line somewhere else to have better ambiance and management. And I hate waiting in line so that's saying something. read more

Rude stuff, service is bad. Very bad experience which is sad cause the place is nice read more

I walked up to Raspoutine for the first time looking to see what the inside looked like as I had seen the venue while walking by previously in the week. As I approached I watched the bouncers let several girls into the club without checking IDs. Once I got up to the front I was told by the person running the front of the club that I wouldn't be allowed inside. At this point I questioned why, and was told it was due to what I was wearing. (a vintage tee, joggers, and jordans) I was confused by this especially when I saw a person leaving the venue dressed exactly the same as me, and asked again why they wouldn't let me in, and was told by the person in the front racial and sexually discriminate slurs. It's unfortunate that the city of West Hollywood allows a venue like this to operate especially when they openly discriminate against race and sexual orientation. I hope they shut this place down and make room for a place that has equal treatment. Update: the guy at the door who racially profiled me and my friend and also didn't check the several young girls' IDs was named Henri Binje. His Instagram is @henribinje and I'm attaching a screenshot of it below. read more

Raspoutine - @henribinje the racial profiling doorman of Raspoutine Los Angeles, SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. - Dance Clubs Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I have had an incredibly alarming and unjust experience at this place. I came accompanied by one taller slender girl and one heavier set girl. I was told there was no capacity for my heavier set friend. After a small discussion they they "compromised" with us and generously offered us entrance with a fee of $3500!! I left completely appalled and furious. This establishment should be completely ashamed of themselves. read more

Oh boy....I know why do I keep forgetting my lesson with these trashy and poorly managed lounges and clubs in LA ?? Location: Raspoutine is located on the corner Melrose and Huntley. It stands out with its bold exterior its Known for in Paris and in Rome. Experience: To be honest I had no idea it was even Raspoutine because I have been to the one in Paris and in Rome and had the best time. I am shocked to know this location unfortunately shares the umbrella with those two amazing venues. The doorman's name is Brennan and he is one nasty fellow (which I honestly didn't know until the end of the night) Always with these clubs and hiring the worst kinds. My friend and I were behind our group who were coming in for a party. We got to the door and let him know we were with our group and he said to hold one moment...no problem! We stand outside for a total of 45 min all the meanwhile everyone else who walks to the door is allowed entry. Finally the doorman Brennan tells my friend he can go in but when asked why I can't go in he starts getting angry. My friend goes in to get the key because I just want to go home but comes out again to ask why I'm not allowed in. Brennan at this point is now having a full on temper tantrum. I tell you why would you hire an unstable being like that for your venue? Especially for such a simple question. Anyways an hour passes now and I can't leave without my group so I'm left to wait outside. Finally the "gatekeeper"; an awkwardly built short, bald man with oversized glasses comes out and I approach him politely asking why I wasn't allowed to come in. He simply looks at me and says, "Ugh you are still here? Fine go in we are closing anyways" When I go inside and try to ask him his meaning he shields his face from view with the sliding door and says "Don't talk to me go inside or don't it's closing anyways". I'm lost for words. Being as I have done nothing wrong and stood silently outside waiting for my group. Should I be surprised? The disgusting reality of the nightlife world in LA. What shocked me the most was now that my group was outside and they themselves wanted to know why I wasn't allowed in (I definitely thought it had to be the race card) Brennan said it was because I was giving him attitude. Which is funny considering my friend who was cursing, and agitated was allowed in but myself who was calm and stood patiently was denied entry. Then he continued with how can it be the race card if the security men are black. (At this point I was livid) When has the race of the staff had any merit on the racial standards that management like to uphold for their patrons?(ahem Argyle) Anyways I would not recommend this place. The doorman needs psychological help and the awkward man with the oversized glasses needs to go to Raspoutine in Paris and see how class is done. Will this place last? I highly doubt it. The location is poor for nightlife considering the much better options so nearby, the management is horrendous and the doorman... well he said he has his own security company...I would not hire him for business and you probably shouldn't either if you care about ROI. read more

First time here. Had no problem getting in around 10:45pm (we were 3 girls) and there was no line. It was refreshing to finally find a club that plays house music. Great DJ, hard not to dance. It's very posh inside. It's very small so it got crowded quickly. I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't let anyone upstairs to create some room. It was hard to dance without bumping into people constantly. Almost claustrophobic in there. Very typical "LA/Hollywood" crowd. read more

Came in here with a table reservation. LOLOLOL. What an awful place. Door guys were cool. Music is awful. There's MAYBE 300 sqft of room, most studios in LA are about twice as big as this place. Usually that's not a bad thing but they let hundreds of people in so it's incredible cramped. Music is a cringeworthy mixture of top 100 euro dance hits. Was hanging around the bar and decided just to grab a couple drinks instead of walking across the room to grab some from the table. Stood there looking at the bartender for a good 10 minutes. The dude kept looking at me and looking past me. He was racist enough to just dance with his hands up in the air looking right through me lololol. Dude, ANTONIO, YOU ARE A BARTENDER. TEND THE BAR, IT'S YOUR JOB. JOB. THAT'S RIGHT. YOU AREN'T ANTONIO BANDERAS, YOU STILL NEED A JOB TO SURVIVE LIKE THE REST OF US. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP WITH YOURSELF. YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN ANYONE. 95% of the people in here are with a table so it only takes a minute to get a drink if you want to get one from the bar which is tucked into the corner. I'm making this point bc I don't want anyone to think he was busy taking other peoples drink orders. All credit to the female bartender, she looked over a few times and I think after the 4th time looking over, seemed like she knew what was going on because she had a sympathetically face when she came over. She got in front of the dancing idiot next to her and asked what she could get me. Two gin and tonics were $39.42 (about $20 a drink) and I tipped $10 on that for the girl. They will show up as Kin Los Angeles on your CC statement. Zero stars if I could. Going to go back and get a photo of this dude. read more

I had a very bad experience . I called on thursday to find out if i can come in , some one tailed me -"yes" . when i got into the club , people at the door say me " NO way , no how " i was asking just to see the place , they say " not possible " other people came without reservation ,did get in .What a discremenation ! On the Qestion " How to make reservation ?" They say : " Don't know ". Don't waste your time going there! read more

I just love this place! Even more after deserting the LA club scene which was lacking originality. RASPOUTINE is bringing sexy back with loud deep commercial house music and red velvet all over! I just celebrated my 35th with 10 of my friends and all of us left the place annoyed that it has to close so early! Table service was on point, the manager Thomas was super friendly and easy going. 2 hostesses took care of us all night long and it was just awesome and good vibes only. I had a blast as well as all my crew, highly recommended! I actually recommend their Thursday night which I just discovered too. Burlesque theme, good music. read more

Love Raspoutine, amazing music feels like a European holiday from LA. The door is strict, like all exclusive LA venues. The tall Brit at the door, does an amazing job of curating the crowd, he has always been polite and courteous, just don't go too late. read more

Great night last week and sick beats. Can't wait to go back again. Can definitely recommend.

Great place in Weho & finally the House/Deep Music Club we've been waiting for in LA!! Staff is super cool, music is dope, the decor is sexy, fancy & intimist with the good frenchy taste. Raspoutine is the best Parisian club in France & they finally have a home in LA. Best place in LA for good drinks/cocktails or vip bottle tables surrounded with cool & elegant people read more

The red interior sets a great vibe as soon as you walk in the entrance. Great euro music with an amazing surround sound bouncing throughout the club. There was an event they held on a Thursday where they had snakes, women on stilts and dancers on the wall. I was in awe the entire time. Will most definitely be coming back. The service was great and were always within reach if I needed anything. Some of the best looking crowds of people I've seen in Los Angeles. Period. read more

As a French guy who moved to Los Angeles a couple of years ago, I was quite desperate with the nightclub scene. LA clubs are unfortunately about showing off your money and listening to rap music. If you're looking for a European type of vibe, great DJs, sexy atmosphere, Raspoutine will be your HQ. read more

Am I first to review!! Haha Had a great night. Great DJ and ppl r amazing. We reserved a table. I suggest you do too read more

Always an amazing time, always look forward to seeing Pat on the door, makes everything professional and easy when I bring in VIP clients.

I felt inclined to ask our bottle girl her name, it's Erica- she is the only bottle girl I have ever asked that question to and it's because she made my and everyone else's experience amazing. She looked great. Beautiful outfit and very put together and she made me a drink and made sure I actually liked it because I said I was picky. She should honestly be promoted if that's possible read more

ZERO STARS. This is the worst "club" in Los Angeles. Incredibly rude staff and nasty venue. Our friends purchased bottle service at a table. We showed up 5 min after they went in, while there was no line, and they said we were not allowed because we were not on the list. BUT WE WERE ON THE LIST. The promoter and person who sold us the table came outside to grab us and called for us to come inside. They door guy refused. Then when our friend came outside to see what was going on he physically pushed her backside and wouldn't let her leave. Do not go here, it was completely empty inside and totally gross. Looking forward to this place going out of business, terrible club. Don't waste your time and money. read more

Actually -5 star review. The way it works with them is they judge you by your look to deny your entrance or approve it. Which is kind of discrimination. First the guy said we are cool and he wants to let us in at 12 a.m we are waiting and and waiting at the door for 30min. The manager who was an ....shows up at the door and looked at us but since we were with our husbands he denied to let us in...if we were single we would be in in a snap...But he was looking for 2 other chicks who were there 20 min after us ....very disappointed. Bad customer service and relation. Don't go to this place. Waste of time and money. They don't deserve good customers read more

Let me begin by saying I'm shocked by the one star reviews. I am assuming those reviews are written by folks who didn't make it inside. The space is intimate ... Perhaps that is why they have a STRICT and SELECTIVE guest list. I'v lived in Los Angeles many years and always wondered why LA is Lacking a nice European spot with house music and a nice ambience (I don't know if anyone remembers but this place used to be Monroes back in the days...it was fun then too but a very different vibe). These guys bring some of the Top Djs around. ( both local and international, Arodes, Ray Kash, The kimonos, Gioia Mia to name a few ). Service is always great and The few gentlemen that run the show definitely know what are doing. Though my original fav has been RP Paris, LA location topped it after I celebrated my BD here in 2020. This place never disappoints. If you appreciate great service and house music (not to mention the fab sound quality ) you will enjoy the vibe. read more

I can't really express how much this place sucks other than saying I came here with a group of people that were going to spend way more money than they deserved they told us they weren't busy and couldn't accommodate a table. Cool, have fun. read more

If I could put zero stars I would. I have lived in Los Angeles for 21 years and I have never had a issue with denied entrance due to my appearance. It's Los Angeles for Christ sake, the hub of diversity. We had a table reservation and we were speaking Armenian in the front and I assume the man managing the door heard and we had two more people than our reservation and he said he "knew our kind" or our "type" and that we would attempt to sneak people in... he also called my friend a little kid who might I add is a grown woman. The disrespect was uncalled for and ruined our Saturday night where we were expecting to enjoy ourselves. Very unfortunate... just don't go here unless you fit their profile of a perfect Russian doll... read more

parked across the street to go to the bars on santa monica and decided to check out on the way back as it was closed when we parked. the friend i was with is russian and said it was russian themed/always looked bumpin when she passed by it. when we tried to get in we were told it was "closed for a private event" which i don't buy. especially now based off the reviews. i was talking about how my friend is russian and we should be able to get into a russian bar (also we're hot and that's not me having an ego we're objectively attractive). the door guy said "we're not a russian bar." i asked him "what are you talking about? there's literally a picture of a matroishka on your yelp page." he didn't even know what a matroishka was. this bar is culturally appropriative and it's absolutely deplorable given the fact that weho became a safe haven for ussr refugees during ww2. read more

The people at the front are extremely rude. I had a table and walked out for just a minute and their demeanor was super super dirsrespectful. It wasn't that cool inside and very overpriced. read more

Julius is in power trip lol lol lol, he was nicer at the highlight room, but obviously he got confidence here, that's so funny. Good for him. For the 1st time we tried to go to this place my friend and I, 2 girls, entrance denied, that's fine, I'm ok with that. But when we saw people leaving this place or getting in I was very surprised, girls in sneakers, others not well dressed at all, it was almost only Russian and French, I saw a friend getting in, I like him but sorry he was in kind of pajama, seriously ? and it's even not because  we could say " he's rich so he get a pass for the dress code " he doesn't spend any penny anywhere. So, big lol for their choice of crowd. Julius hope you'll keep this same confidence when this place will close because it will for sure, there's no money to make with french crowd in the nightlife (I know them I'm French myself and I work in a club also) read more

Raspoutine denied us services solely due to our RACE. We were told that they "knew our kind" by the bald man in the front. He told us to go away due to our ethnicity. Absolutely appalling I cannot believe this is a legal establishment. read more

Horrible place and service sucks. We came for a friends bday and they didn't treat us right. Don't go here.

This place was bullshit. We came for my friends birthday and we had a reservation and they didn't let us in because we had 1 extra person with us. Don't go here! There are so many better bars/clubs in the area. read more

The first time we came here we had a good time. The place, aesthetically, is beautiful. The drinks are pricey but the bartender I met was a wonderful person. We decided to come back a few weeks later, but my lovely (korean) wife was refused entry. Our friends were inside, it was completely dead, about six people, but they did not want to let her in. After our friends inquired, the manager referred to us as "the guy with that asian girl" - something seemed a little off. We hung back for a little while to see if we could identify any pattern and sure enough, the only people getting turned away at the door were groups with asian women in them. It's horrible to say this, especially given it's 2019, but the door manager at Raspoutine LA is racist. We will never be coming back here - and if you're reading this review, I suggest you steer well clear too. read more

I was in town for 2 weeks. Went there on my first weekend and had a great time. During my last weekend before flying back to Dubai, "Julias" at the door was racist and wouldn't even look towards us. Even tho I've been to Raspoutine in Paris, I can say the Parisians have better taste then this rude person at the door. He ruined my last weekend! Such a shame LA read more

Last Saturday my friends and I went out and got to Raspoutine it was a good women and men ration, and we were a good crowed ( we were ready to spend lots of money) after talking Julius we had the worse experience at the door, we decided to leave to place and go to a different venue. It's unfortunate that such a nice place is represented by such disrespectful people. Great place, worse people at the door! read more

Call me basic, but I want some music I know and can sing along to. These deep euro house beats are SO BORING; throw some top 40s in there. Otherwise the place is really cool read more

One of the best clubs in la. Great music and atmosphere. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves French house and is a fan of raspoutine in paris read more

This place is ridiculous. The guys at the door think they own the world, come on you are a door guy! I don't know what or how they figure out who they let in but I came here with my friend and we are two hot females and yet this bold guy gave some attitude and treated us like we are some homeless people. Look at the profile picture ok, your loss. You don't want to have 2 good looking ladies in your place and want to make them wait for who knows what as other randoms come in then fine we will find another place to go to. Mind you as we stood there in the 5 min period about 20 people exited so not like it was packed. Won't go back there and will tell everyone NOT to either. I give it few months before it shuts down anyway. Good luck Alex and julias and bold guy at door. read more

Best deep house club in Los Angeles !!! Very good customer service. Thomas is amazing host and bartenders are very cool. Love the vibe and the clients inside. They really made a beautiful decoration. It feels like you are in Moscow the time of the night. Love it and will go back for sure read more

Loving the vibe and the aesthetics of the club the moment you walk in. The manager Thomas showed my group and I around the club and had our table ready for us. The DJ is amazing and created an escape. The host Zane and chris definitely showed us a great time. Can't get over how amazing it is ! read more
