The Red Buddha

If you are into Hollywood drink prices in a not-​so-​hollywood environment then this is your place, or not. I went here once for a friend’s birthday and boy was I surprised. Surprised at how tiny this place was. It was literally a «hole-​in-​the-​wall.» There isn’t much to this place, it’s just a typical small dive bar that is trying to represent itself as a club. This place even has a velvet rope for the Hollywood feel!
Avoid this place.

Fuck this place! Bring back Goldfinger!!!
The club hit me up via myspace and invited me out Friday night for some event. I wanted to check this place out since I use to frequent this place when it was Goldfinger (RIP) They told me to arrive before 9:30 since the club fills up quickly.
My friend and I arrived a little before 9:30 and the place was closed. WTF? Why tell us to be there before 9:30 if you’re not even open? So we walked to the Beauty Bar and had a few drinks.
About 30 – 45 minutes later we walked back and they were JUST now opening. The valet was up, they had the velvet rope around the entrance and a chick holding a clip board. My friends phone ran and we waited a few feet away and watched in horror as people were walking up to the door and not getting in. They were then told to move from one side of the rope to the other. Ten minutes later they still outside waiting. No one was getting in and it was almost 10:30 at this point.
After the phone conversation ended we looked at each other and came to the decision that we were not going to be one of those poor unfortunately souls waiting in line to get into some fancy club. Then we retreated to a guest list free club.

Tonight was just as beautiful as ever the sky was clear the stars were out and everything was good. After downloading some movies and then walking my dog junior in Pasadena’s Central Park I came back to the crib and showered up pit on some Fierce Cologne, My Homers Nebraska T shirt, True Religion Jeans, and Puma Jamaican Running Jacket and the ragedy K SWISS and I’m out the door. I started to bring my neighbors to the club but I decided against it. First I went by Element for the big party there where my homie Herman was workin it and it was mad packed with bad ass females and cool peeps Dj Slice was putting down the flavor it was all good. Danced to a couple of songs then I bounced out to the other side of Hollywood Blvd over to Red Buddah to check out my boy DJ Bakdraft he spins all the hot shit at Red Buddah on Thursday and Mondays at Joseph’s it’s all good. When I walked in it was kinda dead but after 20 min it started to jump off but Ijust chilled in the booth with my homies shootin the breeze and lovin the atmosphere. I left and went around the corner to Shag and it was poppin a little but not as much as it should’ve been so I left my 3^rd club for the night and proceeded to my final destination which was Cabana Club… All I got to say is DAMN DAMN DAMN it was hot and heavy in there and I was on the dance floor doing my thistle fa shizzle the girls couldn’t resist for awhile and it was dance after dance until I just had to let my boy Tony do his thing and let them girls have it. Cabana club wore me out so much Ihad to leave early cause girls were just coming at me from left to right. tomorrow who knows where I might end up. If you wanna come with me you better let me know now!!!

they also overcharged my credit card! overpriced, watered down well drinks (are they allowed to do that?) served in plastic cups. plastic. cups.

One of the worst club/​lounge I’ve been to in Hollywood. The dance floor is tiny, the drinks are weak, the service is mediocre, they overcharged my debit card, was quoted different prices on the phone and in person, made reservations for 15… got a table for 5. Bad bad bad. I left after about an hour there and went Nacional, which was awesome~!
