Double Grand Openings for LA’s Newest Nightspot ‘The Beverly’

Posted on May 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I think we can all agree Brent Bolthouse + Guy Starkman is a mucccch better partnership than Brent Bolthouse + Sam Nazarian so good news for all in search of a good bar … And a big thank you for more places opening up in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood. Were glad that whole Cahuenga corridor phase is over. After a few pre-openings last week (read more about The Beverly pre-openings here), The Beverly had two back-to-back grand openings this weekend on Thursday and Saturday (the only two days they will be open for business).

The Beverly pre-opening / Victoria’s Secret Party

Posted on May 16, 2011 by | 1 Comment

The Beverly, the second venture from LA nightlife’s Guy Starkman, Darren Dzienciol, Brent Bolthouse and Jen Rosero, is right on par with the newer trend of less club and more lounge …

*Trousdale was the first (The Beverly is housed in the same location as Guy Starkman’s first bar called Guy’s where Darren was also involved).

Think more relaxed NYC bar and less big LA bottle-popping club.

Last Wednesday, Victoria’s Secret rented out The Beverly for their second party in L.A. in two months – this time for their launch of “What is Sexy”. This comes two weeks before The Beverly’s official opening date, May 19th. Marcel Vigneron from Top Chef exercised his molecular gastronomy skillz making frozen drinks at the bar while Cake Pops were passed around to guests dancing to the beat of famed NYC DJ, Jus Ske’s drum, I mean turn tables.

L.A. Nightlife: Wednesdays at Jeff Beacher’s Madhouse

Posted on April 7, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Job well done to Mr. Jeff Beacher, as I really did feel like I was at a mad house last night! One would never guess that RIGHT off the lobby of the Roosevelt hotel, you can walk through a book shelf and down a hallway of mirrors, only to enter a world with dancing animals, flying midgets popping bottles, and contortionists.
