Description

Elie Samaha (L.A.'s legendary Roxbury, The Green Door) and Rob Vinokur (Crobar NYC, Miami's Goddess) sure weren't playing around when they opened this circus-like megaclub in early 2010. The lighting and production are superlative, as are the live amusements (bartenders and waiters double as performers showcasing talents including aerialist feats and hoop dancing). The best place to watch it all may be the pricey, bozo-and-buxom-babe preferred bottle service tables that line the club's perimeter, but the sightlines are descent pretty much throughout the house. A great sunken dance floor and potent sound system make Playhouse one of the best to see top DJ talents, and the club has got 'em on weekends, and most notably on Mondays (at the long-running electronic dance night, Monday's Social).

  • 2010 | Best Place for Playas

    All hot spots have a shelf life these days, but Playhouse, which opened last year, seems to be playing hardball in its bid to stay fresh. The mega-club from Elie Samaha (Roxbury, the Green Door) and Rob Vinokur (Crobar NYC, Miami's Goddess) transformed the old Fox Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard near Wilcox into a circus-themed dance-o-rama last year; it remains a destination thanks to its festive decor and lighting, its adjacent 24-hour eatery (Sweet Love Hangover) and top-notch DJ bookings...

  • 2009 | BEST PLACE TO MEET A SUPERSTAR DJ

    Maybe you haven't noticed, but this superstar DJ game is serious business. Some spinners have been known to travel with bodyguards (we're looking at you, Danny Tenaglia), and five-figure paydays are common. While well-known jocks are still more accessible than, say, members of U2, the days of practically everyone getting backstage at a big DJ gig are over. The Electric Daisy Carnival in early summer claims to have drawn 135,000 people to the Coliseum: That's certainly proven that rock-star... More »

    On the other end of the spectrum from Coco de Ville, this is the biggest club in Hollywood. I play here every Thursday with DJ Vice. He’s usually in the big room and I’m usually in the VIP room.

    I saw it before it opened, and it's beautiful.
