Dare I say, best karaoke bar in LA?!…read more This place is EPIC! The whole downstairs is a typical karaoke bar, then upstairs is a few dozen private rooms. The drinks are great, the vibes are impeccable, and it's a good time. The service was second to none, with waiters and bussers coming in often to check in and make sure we were all set and that empty glasses were being taken out of our private room. The whole upstairs looks more like a club than your typical K-Town karaoke rooms! It may be pricier than other karaoke bars or rooms, but it is easily worth the cost for the experience and expansive song selection.

I went to Mic Drop to sing my heart out with a few friends in a private room. The room was awesome!…read more The song selection is done on an iPad, and they've made it super easy to search and add songs to your list. The song selection was extensive! There are also touchscreen controls for things like volume and key changes. There was a mic stand, a tambourine and maracas, a disco ball with colorful lights that could be set to dynamic lighting programmed to the music, or controlled manually. And there was a fog machine!! We couldn't have it on for very long at a time, but it was so fun. These elements added an extra layer of fun to the experience. The seating was like a long cushy booth with a low coffee table in the middle for food and beverages. We had our own thermostat to control the temperature in our room. The bathroom was outside the room and was nice and clean. A staff member got us set up in the room and showed us how to use everything, took our drink orders and came back to check on us a few times to see if we needed anything. We were so excited about everything in the room, we didn't get around to ordering food this time. Our room booking was about $25 per person for 2 hours (which is their minimum). The menu looked moderately priced. We had so much fun! The ambiance reminded me of the private room karaoke places I've been to in Hong Kong and Japan, more so than the places I've been in K-town. We didn't go to the open karaoke bar on the ground floor (rooms were upstairs), but that looked nice and fun too.

This review will be unique as it will review No Vacancy when it hosted Uno Social Club…read more I am not a super fan of Uno, but it is something to do, something to get me out of the house, and when I have played Uno I have had a good time. One time I got so excited I banged the table and the glass dropped. It happens when one is seeking a reverse card to save their life! The place is suppose to be a play on a hotel I guess, but to me it also kind of looked like a haunted house. A bit. Do not imagine cobwebs, ghosts, and Jason props. It was more haunted in color and shape. Like a haunted house that was formerly excorcised of the devil and all his minions and no was in its fixer-upper phase. I guess one might have to look at the pictures to understand where my thoughts went. When I entered the energy was building. But it was such a slow simmer that I felt like Uno would not pop with revelvery. I went exploring after first entering garden, into their main foyare. I saw an upstairs. I was not allowed to go up. Apparently, there was a VIP section. Oh what is up there, I asked one of the staff members and he did not respond. I asked a patron that was walking down the stiars? What is up there? She seemed like she did not want to answer. I said an elephant? She said, heat, it's hot up there. So now I am left to wonder what was up those stairs at No Vancy and kind of irked that I am left to wonder what the flight of stairs held at its end. I was backed in the garden, thinking of what would happen next? I saw a brave soul ask if he could join two to play a game. I did the same and soon I was in a card game with two other people. What was great, is that they had the house rules posted, which were apparently the official Mattel rules. And like for example, I always played Uno in the following way: if you did not have a certain color you ate from the pile till you got a color or another card you can play like the Wild card? But here you only ate one, and if it could be played you could, and if you could not then it was the next player turn. I realized that I kind of wrote an instuction manual. I kind of wanted to delete it, but then I remember when a plate is salted it cannot be unsalted. I played a player who was into the game. I know that people are like why are you so into the game? But when two people are into an ordinary Uno game it stops being ordinary. It does not become a clash of fabled warriors inside an arena with lions and leopards. But it does become competititve in a fun way, where no one tells another to chill just because they want verification of a play that might turn the game on its head. What I thought the Uno Social people did very well was engage us all. They sat down a guy next to us. He became the fourth of our Uno game. Inspired by the staff member I asked someone else to sit and we became 5. We played a few games and had a good time. One of the staff members gave a winner of a round a Love Island expansion pack. Who knew? Saul and I then peeled of that group and went to get some drinks. The drinks at this place were smooth and strong. I got an Uno themed one. I could finish it in one gulp if I wanted too, but I did not, I was not in a race. By this time the place was, in my opinion, too packed by Uno players. It was the kind of packed that if you wanted to stand up you were afraid too because then you would lose your spot and then you would be amidst the crowd trying to find another spot that anchors you to place. The crowded bar made one feel like they were a sardine in a party. And no one likes to be a sardine anywhere. Having no elbow room is a type of torture, not water for sure, but still anxiety inducing. Another Yelper described this place as a human zoo, perhaps I should have left it there too? This place is close, like steps from Hollywood Blvd. So I can see how it can be part of a bigger night. Stop by and if one does not feel the vibe one can bounce to another spot. There are plenty around the areas. But if one gets to here when they host an Uno club that is definetelty the move!

this was my absolute favorite place I went during my trip to LA. We started with the speakeasy…read moreentrance, which was led by a beautiful burlesque dancer. We headed down to the regular bar which is in a house. To be honest, this house was so remincent of my colleges frat houses, it brought the most incredible nostalgia. Once we got our drinks we headed outside to the backyard, and there is an additional bar and fireplace out there. It was after 1am on a Friday and it was like a club. I danced my heart out in my own zone until we were all told the club was closed. I never wanted to leave. It was the most fun I've had in a long time! - signed a midwest mom loooking for a good time

From the moment you walk up to the entrance you can tell this place was created by fans. Lots of attention to detail that makes you feel like you walked right into Mos Eisley cantina on Tattooine. It's mainly a SW themed bar but they have lots of decor and drinks from a variety or nerd culture. The staff is fun and helpful with getting you the drink you want. You can sit at the bar or in a booth like Han when he shot Greedo. Tons of spots for you to take great photos. Don't miss the carbonite Han Solo in the back near the bathrooms!

Will come again if I'm in the area, this place is very cool, especially if you liked the Catina at Galaxys Edge. There is free wifi inside and you can order via QR code or at the bar. Come one, come all, villains and scum alike, for this great nerdy bar!

Absolutely wonderful new bar!!!…read more Was surprised at how congenial and elegant the whole experience was, given how cool the spot and crowd is. For a more sophisticated evening, combining a good looking high end crowd with top notch service (thanks Ethan!!!) this is your spot. As a Hollywood Hills native, born and raised right off Mulholland, I can attest this is one of the best spots for high end locals in the last decade. If you want small children being treated as such in a low rent district environment akin to a factory, many Hollywood options. If you want a classy experiencez and intend to spend and behave accordingly, this your spot. Note to venue: please don't change anything!!!!

It definitely makes for some great photo spots if you're into that. I also loved the moody, private vibe of the seating area, and having a live DJ playing throughout the evening really added to the ambiance As for the food, we ended up ordering the Wagyu Beef & Truffle Burger, and I loved how juicy and tender it was! Plus, it's always a win for me when a burger comes with aioli sauce. Whoop whoop! As for the fries, I enjoyed their seasoning, though the ranch was alright lol We also tried the Tuna Poke Nachos, which I really enjoyed. Maybe a few too many chips compared to the toppings, but overall still very delicious. I also ordered the Strawberry Moon cocktail and really enjoyed its fruity flavor :) Later on, we decided to order the Chili Crunch Chicken Wings, and I really felt like both sauces complemented each other well. I was also happy to discover they weren't actually spicy haha. We also added the Tokyo Pop Chicken Bites, which had been recommended by one of our servers, and they did not disappoint! We absolutely loved them! Lastly, to finish off the night, we ordered the Taiyaki, and OMG!! I just loved how soft the croissants were to bite into! Between the different fillings and dipping sauces, every bite became even better! Overall, I really enjoyed the variety on the menu and how nice the staff was throughout the evening. The only little bummer was that the photo booth ran out of paper before we got a chance to try it :/ But oh well, maybe next time!

Unfortunately, closing out my tab took longer than expected, which was a bit frustrating. Also, even though I arrived when doors opened, I wasn't able to get close enough to the stage. Overall, still a fun night with good music and food, but a few logistical hiccups kept it from being a full 5-star experience.

If you're a fan of themed music nights, it's definitely worth checking out. A few things could make the experience even better. The seating is all wooden and pretty hard, so it isn't the most comfortable if you're planning to hang out for a while. Also, it was very warm inside. With a packed crowd and a couple of drinks, it got hot fast. I wasn't even dancing, and I was sweating! Turning up the air conditioning would make a huge difference and keep everyone much more comfortable. The drinks were good--not the best I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable. I think with a few tweaks to the cocktails and a cooler atmosphere, this place would be outstanding. One tip for first-time visitors: it's a little tricky to find if you're unfamiliar with the area. The entrance is through the alley, not directly on the main street, and it's only about the second building in. Parking can be a challenge, but that's more about the neighborhood than the venue itself. Overall, I had a really good time, loved the music and atmosphere, and I'd consider coming back. If you're looking for a unique spot with fun themed nights and good vibes, this place is definitely worth a visit.

We've come to quite a few reggae concerts here at the Echoplex…read more It's gotten better each time. So I needed to update my review. All the peps working here are super friendly and welcoming. Even the security guards are cool AF. Not like a lot of other venues where security acts like they are cops lol Not here they get you through the metal detectors pat down and look in purses to insure you don't have anything harmful. (As fast as they can) Inside is a large dance floor, two bars, and a few tables for those who don't want to stand. The bars have amazing bartenders who are super chill. The restrooms are very well maintained and have the sweetest older lady working. (Make sure yall show her some love) They also have a huge outside patio that is a smoking area. I've never seen any food here only drinks, beer, shots, and water for sale. Overall Echoplex is an awesome venue for concerts.
