Haute

I’m alright with this club. I agree with a lot of the other reviews, though. I started to feel a little awkward when running into girls who were under 21, but when I go with friends, I typically have a good time. On a typical night, my friends and I usually hop between Abbey, Here and this one when it livens up… usually around midnight or so. Can’t say much about the liquor, since beer is more my drink of choice. I wish they had more selection, though.

I’m by no means a «night owl» or a «party girl» or whatever. But I know how to have a good time, how to look good, and how to dance the night away.
This place is small as fuck. I don’t know how many fucking people came and grabbed my ass and slipped away in the mass of sweaty, dirty, disgusting bodies.
Young kids who like to start fights (boy, I wear heels bigger than your dick), and think they’re sooooooo cool for getting drinks. Lame.
Call me snobby, but some of the people here are GHEEEETTOOOOO. I saw THREE girls’ heels BREAK OFF! And in the bathroom, a bitch peed on the floor! The fuck?
Lame girls in cheap dresses. Shitty alcohol. No room to wipe the sweat from my eyes. Holy shit.

I spun here one time for an Asian American College Night on a Thursday. This venue is actually pretty nice. The DJ booth is isolated from everyone else, putting an emphasis on dancing.
I really like how there’s two rooms the same size instead of one main room and another dinky room. Sort of got sad when our promoters stopped booking this place for parties.
The gripe that most people have? I could see it happening. This place has been opened to the 18+ crowd, and once that happens, you can never establish yourself as a 21+ only venue. It probably doesn’t help that this place is across from
«The Abbey», a predominately gay bar.
If you can go on a Thursday with a college crowd, I’d recommend it. Even if you can rent this place out, go for it. Besides that, may want to stay away.

Stay away from this place!!!
i use to work here for almost a year and these people are super shaddy!!!
the so call patron shot your pay close to 20 dollars for are not really patrons shots! they have one of us moving the shitty nameless tequlia into the empty patron bottles (now you know why you woke up with a massive headache the next day). the «Moet» champagne bottle service that usually u pay around 200 dollars there? i would get it the night before at pavillions around the corner for 9 $.
Same shaddy shit goes for the place upstairs (same owners)

Do not be fooled by the $ 20 all you can drink deal they have.
PYT is one of the worst decisions of my life.
All you can drink of shitty alcohol? Yup, you’ll end up bed-​ridden for a full day and a half after. When I woke up the next morning, I was still drunk.
It’s basically a recipe for disaster. A lot of wondering: «What exactly did I do last night?» and «Oh man! I can’t believe I did that».
:(

this club just sucks! the venue is nice because they have 3 dancefloors but they replay the same music in all 3 rooms. After they play it in one room, they start recycling it in another.
DONT BUY THE COME IN BEFORE 10:45 YOU’LL GET IN FREE BULLSHIT! Acouple of friends and I were on guestlist and got there by 9:20. We waited for an hour before the line started to move. My friends and I were standing in the same spot in line for an hour. Are you kidding me? This club is SCANDALOUS. They purposely did that so everyone in line had to pay the $ 20.
It is NOT worth it. I rather go highlands/​avalon and pay $ 10 than be lied to and cheated for my money and go to a shitty club with no good music.

The worst club I’ve ever been to! there was no variety in music, the DJ kept playing the same type of music which I once and while faked dance to but eventually got bored of that and so did my friends! Speaking of dance, the dance floor is the size if an ice cube, so on top of the unchanging music, you couldn’t even if you wanted to and I loooove to dance (almost to anything). The crowd was just as unentertaining. Never ever going again.
Oooh and the guys weren’t that interesting either, maybe it was just that night but I won’t be tempted in going to that club again. I’d rather party with my friends of colors in West Hollywood (anytime)!

This place is terrible.
It’s not the 20 dollar cover, willing to pay for a good spot.
It’s not the music, hip hop and all good.
It’s partly the 14 dollar well drinks.
and largely the crowd and DJ’s lack of energy!
I’ve been here about 3 times since it became «haute.» and it has never revived itself to the «Apple» status it once was.
This place is over, my friend and I have a bet in how much time this place is going to close.

Haute, you’re not so bad. I’ve had a good time on your patio… especially around Pride… but honestly, your PYT nights with your «top shelf open bar» PLLEEEASE. The liqour you’re serving is NOT top shelf… so don’t tell me it’s $ 20 all you can drink «top shelf». It just makes me angry.
Also note «top shelf» doesn’t include coronas… so ladies… good luck with those nasty hangovers on Thursday mornings because what you’re drinking is gutter tequila, not Patron.
How stupid do you think we are PYT?

I will laugh my ass off the day I hear that Alcoholic Beverage Control & Vice do their job and cite or shut down this place!
I think this place is crap. Nothing but idiot 18+ kids who get drunk and want to fight. The only people probably giving this place a 5 Star Rating are the under 21 year olds.
I also HATE how valet will keep relocating your car from one spot to another. I’ve had bad luck with other valet companies in the past that do this and all that means is that I don’t like so many people going in and out of my car.
I only put 1 star because it won’t let you put zero. …

I’m reviewing this place as an event venue, not as a club. I’m sure if it were for the club, this would be a one-​star kind of place.
We got here early in the evening for a private party. With fewer ppl in the place, you could clearly see the nice décor. It’s nothing special, but I appreciate the effort to make this place look more like a lounge than your typical dance club. My one complaint is the weird red and green laser lights that kept appearing on the dance floor, aimed at our FACES. It was like someone was off in the corner attempting to blind you with multiple laser pointers. So awkward and SO unnecessary.
The layout does suck, what with the lines for the main bathrooms being the same hallway that leads you to the back room/​downstairs. But again, if you’re here during non-​club hours, it’s not a big issue. The music was awesome. I knew I was going to like the DJ when he played Arrested Development and Bob Marley back to back. We got our dancing in before the rest of the club kids started showing up. And seeing as to how ridiculously long the line was outside, I’d say show up before 10pm or don’t even bother.

Come for the Open Bar…
OPEN BAR all night for PYT lady events! Get there early and drink responsibly. Try not to be the DD (it would still be $ 20), but be sure to pick a down ass friend to pour your drunk ass back into bed safely!
Key word — SAFELY.
HOkay, so – It’s pretty schweet because open bar means OPEN BAR — top shelf and all.
There is a bar in the front and in the huge back room (usually closed). The outside bar (downstairs) has a limited selection.
VIP areas are tucked away so you can barely see where they are. The outside cabana is pretty nice, though! These spots are definitely worth it during HUGE events like Pride or Halloween, so get your finger on the pulse quickly during these events!
Call me crazy, but I DON”T LIKE STAIRS in a place where sloshing libations and dueling cigarettes rush up and down. I’m just waiting for some drunk lesbian to topple over herself and down the stairs. Or over the landing — whichever is more dramatic.
That said, I would enjoy this place MUCH better:
— with the back bar area open.
— bigger dance floor. The front space is, well — just awkward and tiny. It leaves much to be desired.
— when there are multiple bathrooms open. Preferably not the ones DOWNSTAIRS. C’mon — ladies nights require MULTIPLE restrooms open and a LOOSE mens room policy… I’m just saying.
— it’s not terribly packed — but when does that happen?
As usual, come with your coven of witches, bitches and pimps ready to party. PYT FULLY supports integration, so bring your gay boys, too!
You will most likely get your picture taken and get tagged on spacebook. It’s like a weekly ritual. There is a good chance you will rub elbows (and other things, if you’re lucky) with celesbians from The Real L Word.
If you don’t know who these ladies are, then study up!
Cheers.
EDIT:
SO, a good friend has let me know that the TOP SHELF open bar generosity has died. plus they are charging for red bull.
sorry to let everyone down.

This is by far the worst club I have ever been too.
Cons:
— They hold people in line to make it look like its a poppin’ place to be. & The security guards are rude as hell.
— Made all 5 of us girls pay a cover (i think ive only had to pay cover once in my life!)
— People smoking in the club instead of on the outdoor patio. So woke up with a sore throat from breathing in all that nasty smoke!
— Went with a really fun group of people who always have a good time and STILL had a terrible experience.
–Badly dressed and a lot of unattractive people inside.
–Music was TERRIBLE! The worst I have ever heard. And the dance floor was so small if you tried to dance you got sweaty arms and who knows what else rubbed up against you. Eww!
Pros:
I honestly cant think of ANY!
Point of this Review: TO WARN ALL THAT THIS PLACE IS A WASTE OF TIME /​MONEY /​SATURDAY NIGHT. I’M EMBARRASSED TO EVEN ADMIT I GRACED THIS PLACE WITH MY PRESENCE!

Saturday night. Not a single attractive person. Whole place smelled like BO. Also, worst DJ ever. This place sucks.

Wow! Reading the reviews prior to going… after going reading the reviews again! It’s pretty brutal. I’m afraid to post up anything but my opinion matters as well so here goes…
We were celebrating a good friend’s birthday. I was on the GL so walking in with friends and the birthday boy was easy as pie. As I entered, I noticed a lot of similar things that fellow Unilocalers pointed out:
–Trendy décor with booth seating for bottle service
–Ratio was more guys than girls which aren’t necessarily a bad thing for me. Eye candy is a good thing.
–The bar was super crowded with people waiting to buy their drinks. Perhaps they need to have more than 2 bartenders. It looked like a stampede at a lemonade stand on a 100 degree day. My drink was good… everyone was tipsy/​drunk by the end of the night.
–The dance floor was small, (door was closed to the other side), and so dancing was pretty much rubbing your body up against people from all sides. But it looked like everyone was having fun and enjoyed the music the Dj played.
Since it was two of my friend’s birthdays, I had a really great time with them! I wasn’t there to meet any guys. I wasn’t there with high expectations. I was there dancing, laughing, drinking with the birthday boy/​girl and just enjoyed myself on a Saturday night! At one point I wasn’t going to go out but glad I did because I also met some new friends. It’s like one of those decisions you’re glad you made because you would have missed out.
It can be a hit or a miss at a venue. You might go once and it’s a bust or a blast, and then goes back and it might be better or not. Perhaps it’s true when they say 3^rd times the charm? But I think if you’re surrounded by great people and you’re just enjoying the moment without holding up the wall, you would have fun regardless.
Well anyways, I’m giving you 3-​stars because there were no fights, people were cool, Dj’s played good music and bouncers were nice. I can tell the birthday boy had a really great time. Pictures show proof of his never-​ending smiley face =D
For others who gave this place a bad review, you probably went in with high expectations. FYI– this isn’t Sunset.

Its actually embarrassing to write a review for the place because that would mean I was actually there…
but… the club was so bad i’ll live with the embarrassment just so I can give this place one freakin star…
Probably THE wackest club i’ve been to …
EVER
Can you even call the place a nightclub? Shouldn’t there be a size requirement of at least 3000 sq ft. or… something?
«California girls» night so most of the girls came wearing daisy dukes. guess I never got the memo
Pimply boys and girls all over the place. 6 out of 10 had braces. really bad dancing. and please do not get me started on the photographers… I checked online the next day… and lets just say.
Fire them. or buy them better cameras

First of all, this review is not for the food (since I didn’t order any) but for their service and what would have been their drinks but wait, I never got the drink I order… EPIC FAIL!!!
Came here last night to watch game 7 of the Lakers Final and was nice to find a very nice venue like this not totally packed. I liked the location and all so we sat down to enjoy the game. Although my friends were there already and the game was almost half way done, I still showed up to hang out with them a bit.
After about 5 minutes, the waitress finally came over (mainly to drop off the check for my friends) so I took the opportunity to ordered a drink. Almost an hour later, still no drink… and they weren’t even that busy.
Yeah, I’d rather take my business elsewhere… thank you but no thank you. Fail fail fail!!!

Yes, I should’ve known better.
Yes, I shouldn’t have wasted a minute of my life at this disaster area of a nightclub.
And you know what? If I had checked Unilocal first, I would’ve known all that already. Instead, I let a couple of (non-​Yelping) friends drag me here because a promoter they know was putting on some event.
We roll on in there, and I’m immediately greeted by a handful of sullen lesbians. (Their mood was a bad omen.) I’m struck by the bad music, which was too loud, full of unpleasant static, and intermittent. (Since when can a nightclub justify not having continuous play? I thought the whole point was for people to dance around while immersing themselves in a sea of oontz-​oontz-​oontz?)
Oh oh oh, probably the lowlight of the night was trying to buy one (overpriced) drink. The exchange went something like this:
Me: I’d like a Jack & soda, please.
Shirtless, Clueless Bartender: Ok.
[SCB proceeds to pour a Jack & Coke]
SCB: Here you go.
Me: I ordered a Jack & soda.
SCB: Ok.
[SCB proceeds to pour a Jack & orange juice. What the hell is a Jack & orange juice anyway?]
SCB: Here you go.
Me: That’s a Jack & orange juice. That sounds terrible. And it’s not what I ordered. I asked for a Jack & soda.
SCB: That’ll be $ 10.
[At this point, my friend-​who-​knows-​the-​promoter swoops in, pays the $ 10, and apologizes to me for dragging me here. The drink goes in the trash.]
If you’re going to be hanging out on Robertson & Santa Monica, save your energy and go across the street to the Abbey. Ugh, I can’t believe I just said that.

Checklist for a Thursday night out at Haute:
80’s rocker clothes. Check.
Sneakers. Check.
Bad dancing. Check.
Questionable dance group performance. Check.
$ 10 for parking in the lot. Check.
I woulda given this place 2 stars, but the DJ had good music going, so +1 star for music.

Admission: First off, parking is $ 10 right outside the club. There’s no cover for guys or girls just make sure your on the guestlist. They are pretty hard on guys here, so make sure you have a very good ratio.
Inside Haute: This place is actually pretty big, but it consists of a bunch of smaller size rooms. No real dance floor, people are going to be passing you by and bumping into you no matter where you are. Yes, it was pretty crowded on a Saturday night, but it was not fun. Crowd was mainly asian and hispanic. Drinks were a bit pricey, small, and weak.
I probably won’t be returning here anytime soon. If you do come here I would recommend you get bottle service on the patio, which was probably the best space in the club. Given from my experience alone it would deserve a lower rating, but this place does have potential. Lastly, when you want to get your car back from valet you have to bypass this dingy alleyway and jaywalk across the street.
