Playhouse

Robert Vinokur's Playhouse aims to inject a little South Beach smack dab in the middle of Hollywood’s burgeoning nightlife scene. The nearly 13,000-square foot nightclub (designed by the same design firm behind STK and Villa, Manhattan-based Icrave), aims to dazzle clubbers who find the old Fox theater by accident, or on purpose, at Wilcox Ave. Expect name DJs from Europe and a 24-hour modern diner concept attached (dubbed “Sweet Love Hangover”) that clubbers can hit before, after or during their evening for some alcohol-absorbing comfort food. Sleek and hyper-modern, the interior decoration is young, energetic and decadent, the kind of place you might stumble across Kim Kardashian or Joe Francis on your way past the velvet rope. The sound system is state of the art and was designed by Dan Agne from Sound Investments (known for work at Cielo New York, Vanguard, and Beta Nightclub in Denver). The lighting system at the Fox was designed by Steve Lieberman of SJ Lighting, known for his work at Tao Las Vegas, Cherry Las Vegas, and Crobar New York. The interior is spacious, with a vaulted ceiling, muted lighting and white leather stools and couches strewn about – all in close proximity to one of the enormous bars.

One of LA's most recent mega-club hotspots, Playhouse is like someone dropped a Vegas club smack dab in the middle of Hollywood. From the cool aerialists twirling from the ceiling to the impressive guest DJ's that appear regularly (Tiesto just spun a couple of weeks ago), the crowd is hot, the drinks are cool, and the vibe is sexy. A great place for a birthday celebration or just to cut loose with friends.

Thursday and Friday nights are usually the best to hit up Playhouse, as the crowd on Saturday tends to get really tourist-y. Make sure to have your dancing shoes on as the party usually lasts past 2AM - on a recent visit, the DJ was still spinning at 2:45AM when we left.

Why, a slammin' party dress of course! Opt for either Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Ruffle Front Strap Dress in Fuchsia or Isabel Lu's Little Black Dress with a pair of over-the-knee boots.
