I don't know if I went to the show with too high of an expectation, but the truth is, I didn't walk away being fully blown away. I was adequately entertained, but not at the level that I came to expect from cabaret or burlesque shows in general. It's probably important to preface that I am more accustomed to seeing big production versions of shows in the same vein, such as Zumanity, in Las Vegas setting. And while I do realize entertainment of that caliber is in a different ballpark altogether, it's difficult not to compare. Billed as a homage to Tarantino films, which I know just (barely) enough to appreciate the many reference of the show, Tarantina is still a very grounded cabaret show at heart, and only superficially dipped in the Tarantino universe icing. If you're expecting it to be a movie celebration extravaganza, which I kinda did, you may be a little bit disappointed. If you're just there for a good time, to observe some talented ladies (and one token well-toned, constantly shirtless dude) perform, while you sit back and relax with a drink, this show delivers enough. The ticket price was... eh. VIP was too expensive, I wouldn't recommend anyone getting it. The GA, at $39 or so per person, including fees and all that, was a bit on the high side still, imho. I don't want to take anything away from the performers of the show, for I know all of them are disciplined artists that probably trained for their crafts with much time and dedication; nonetheless, I've just seen better, and some of them really failed to impress audience like me. Once you've seen the same tricks, but done arguably better, you'll probably feel the same. Not to be a total Debbie Downer, I do want to emphasize, there were definitely moments that I much appreciated: the MC was positively well cast. She was entertaining, one of the best parts of the show, and all she did was talk into the microphone... *with undeniable charisma*. The way she introduced each subsequent act, with brief explanation of which Tarantino film it related to, JUST FANTASTIC. I could hear her talk on and on. The one buff dude that was the token eye candy for the ladies and gay dudes, who doubled as prop master, who carried essential equipment on and off stage, was also a blessing. Of the acts that I got to see, (sadly I had to leave early due to work the next day, the show's being shown on a Thursday night and all), some were really good. Some were not so good. I do wanna list out some of the more memorable ones that I thought were worth your undivided attention. There was someone who danced with a python, along with some fire stunts. That screamed prime Britney, and therefore I ate that sh*t up. In fact, any time special flame effects were used, those were quite awesome. The ladies who exposed their perfect... uh... "female form", as the club called it, carried out a tasteful and sexy performance. Visually stunning, it was 1 of more memorable moments. There's a pure dance number, accompanied by "California Dreamin'", that was choreography heaven. It provided glimpses of what a professional dance number should look like. The fan blowing was a nice touch. As some put it, it was like watching "Dancing with the Stars". Finally, the Gogo Yubari number was also top-notched. Side note: if you're looking to see some serious boobage, then please be aware, and I quote from the MC, "this is a cabaret, and not a burlesque show". Frontal nudity is only occasionally featured. Of things that I didn't mention, some were still good. I just can't recall them off the top of my head right now. In contrast, remaining others were ok/mediocre, and a select few were sub-par. Had the pricing been lower, or had every single act been consistently solid, the act would've merited at least 4 stars from me. But right now, I would rate it 3.5 stars, but closer to the rounded 3 stars mark. I do, however, fully acknowledge that I might've missed some really great parts that were shown after my departure. The costume contest after the show, for instance, would've been wonderful to witness since some patrons were rocking some movie-grade wardrobes from the iconic films. (And just quickly circling back to the theme: if the costumes for the show, the decorations, and the routines were more heavily inspired & influenced by the Tarantino films, it would probably have pushed the ratings higher also. But hey, they did get the music/soundtracks right.) Overall, I see a show that has room for improvement, run by a group of individuals that could be showcased more properly with some better directions. But who cares what I think? Plenty of people in the audience were clearly enjoying themselves immensely. So go see for yourself instead. As a fun Thursday night on the town in the greater city of LA, it might just be enough.

I paid for a loveseat back in October and was alone until intermission, then TWO people sat next to…read moreme. A loveseat is for 2 people, not 3. Clearly they did not pay to sit there and I am still peeved about that. I would not pay for a loveseat again since anybody can just sit there if it's empty and nobody will call you out for it. I decided to treat myself and buy a loveseat ($80ish) so that I wouldn't be squished with other people and I just hope that this doesn't happen to anybody else. I kind of regret buying it because of that. The show was entertaining though and the drinks were good. The ambiance is nice.

Warning (nothing to do with the black rabbit rose but everyone including the venue should be wary.)…read more We made the mistake of parking in the back of the Black rose not at the motel, but the empty lot. There were signs all over stating that it was public parking; we had a miscommunication with the black rabbit rose so we arrived too early so we went to go eat at another location as they weren't open yet - as I went to move my car - a lady there accosted us saying we needed to pay since we parked there. I noticed then that all the signs were now missing. She said I needed to pay or she'd call the cops. Luckily, I have cameras on my vehicle and I told her so; that I could prove the signs were there and to go ahead and call the cops, at which she yelled at us to leave and if she ever saw me again, she'd tow my car. I moved it to the lot around the corner which was $20 - but felt so much safer. - Review of black rabbit rose - The magic show on Thursday was so much fun. The magician was funny and the clairvoyant was very entertaining. We were at the very front and had to keep scooting our chairs to turn around because they do go all over the room to include everyone, which might make the chairs a bit loose, so be careful. The drinks were great - we got the dark arts & it did not disappoint; we prefer our drinks light with more cranberry flavor so they were just right. Everyone was very nice and friendly at the venue and we appreciated everyone wishing us a happy anniversary!

Grabbed a drink (pictured) that was about $23 with tip, pretty tasty. The bar is super cool speakeasy vintage dark lit magic themed. Nice bar booths to sit at. Not super huge but it wasn't overtly packed with people sitting / waiting for the show. We went on a Thursday night. The magic showroom was comfortable. We were sat on the wall booth which was a little hard to see at sometimes bc people were one in front of the other and not really staggered but the performers did move throughout the room. The performers were really great and entertaining. It was a nice time and I would consider coming back on another night

We went back and it was even better this time!…read more This round, we came prepared and got there ~30 mins early! 5th in line, and snagged a spot to sit down instead of crouching on the floor like last time. Totally worth it. The show this year topped the last (which we didn't think was possible). The energy, the creativity, the weirdness were all dialed up in the best way. We even met Zombie Joe himself outside, super friendly guy. And as a sweet bonus, they were handing out freeze-dried Skittles for everyone. Small touch, big win. Already looking forward to the next one.

There are cozy tables, bar stools, and high tops if you want to sit, plus an open dance floor where everyone ends up singing and dancing together. Such a fun, feel-good spot. Definitely coming back again soon.

Super fun vibe, with some stool and table seating, as well as some private rooms. The piano men were SO GOOD. We stayed and saw 2 perform and both super talented.

I got the matcha one which has a nice foam on top and really well balanced as well as the pickle cocktail. A total 180 with a strong pickle brine and mezcal flavor, but equally delicious for a more savory drink. Would definitely recommend and come back!

I'll review them separately. Brown Betties: When was the last time you saw an amazing burlesque show?? If you haven't seen the Brown Betties, you are in for a TREAT!! The writing, acting, singing, and dancing were spectacular! I loved the show because their talent held the audience's attention while capturing many of the experiences men and women have in relationships, and giving fair attention to both. My friend and I left raving about the show, and telling our friends not to miss out when they have another chance to attend! My only advice is that I would get the dinner/seat reservations in advance if they are available...the food was excellent, and the show is even more enjoyable with a seat!! I would definitely attend again in the future, and hope new shows are offered. These incredibly talented women provide entertainment with a twist in all the right places! BYOB (Be Your Own Betty): The Brown Betties hosted a wonderful private party for my birthday a few days after their show. Having seen their moves on stage, I knew I would not be disappointed! However, my expectations were exceeded! They were professional, reaching out to me before the event to answer questions, help with advertising, and asked for my preferences regarding refreshments (which were amazing!!). On the day of the event, they came early to set everything up, and did a beautiful job transforming our space. The women were very gracious, and my friends quickly felt comfortable with them. They did a spectacular job of leading us through exercises that had a profound impact on how we viewed ourselves as women--my friends are still talking about this experience to this day! They also taught us routines and moves that helped us find our "Inner Betties". Finally, they had a few tricks up their sleeves to make sure we would never forget this day, and that the lessons we learned would help make us better women to ourselves. At the end, I felt that the entire experience was entertaining and personally valuable...reflecting lessons and experiences I wanted to share with my friends...I didn't have to do any of the heavy lifting for my party, and was able to truly enjoy it as a guest! I recommend the BYOB experience for a special birthday, ladies night, bachelorette party, or whatever you have in mind. Gather your friends, then call Brown Betties...these women have it covered!!!

Because if you don't have your $4 the bartender will point to the sign and let you know what the sign says, then give you a weird look like where's my money. In my case, I put whatever cash I had in my pocket in the tip jar ($3)... the bartender took the money out the jar opened it up to count it (in front of everyone), then proceeded to point to the sign that says $4. he says "you see that sign" ........ ok ....ok... my bad ....i'll remember drinks are $4. I'm just saying ..... don't call it open bar. All in all GREAT SHOW, I highly recommend it..... drinks are $4

Upon entering I was very impressed with the ample cocktail style seating and large stage the venue offered. It actually had a supper club feel, once the host and the live band took to the stage. I signed up for the open mic, and and had a wonderful experience reciting my poem. I have been a repeat guest ever since. The artist that performed were very talented. The show was interactive and entertaining, as the host has the audience participate in games and activities throughout the night. My favorite is where the DJ and the band battle each other. In this game, the audience picks a song and the DJ has to play the song on the turn tables, and then the band has to play the same song with their instruments or vice versa. The audience then votes for either the DJ or the band. Can I just say "AMAAAZING!!!" The open wine and vodka bar was a great BONUS. There is a suggested tip of $4.00 for premium liquor, such as tequila. Where else can you get a Margarita for under $5.00? My suggestion is to bring cash or drink wine or vodka, if you don't want to give the bartender a decent tip for a free drink. I definitely recommend The Red Light Lounge to anyone looking for a GREAT evening . I'll be celebrating my birthday there in November with friends and family. Don't take my word for it...come out and see for yourself. Hope to see you there!
