L.A. Dips Into Nightswim! At The Tropicana

Scenesters and DJ's collaborated for a night of fresh beats, poolside lounging, and floaties at the weekly Nightswim!, hosted at the Roosevelt's Tropicana Bar last night.

CDV Relaunches As Boudoir At Coco De Ville

After two years of bumping house and helping create that really annoying patch of nightly traffic that blocks the right lane on La Cienega going south, Coce de Ville takes a spin on the L.A. nightlife merry-go-round and will relaunch as Boudoir at Coco de Ville . The West Hollywood night spot follows the lead of its many predecessors like Foxtail and Area (now MI-6 and Industry, respectively) in the hopes of restoring a thriving nightlife scene.  The club, which shares a spot on the trendy corridor next to STK, lasted the average lifespan of nightclubs in this town under its original name and will debut rechristened and refurbished on Wednesday.  Hopefully, the original door policies remain intact so the suit-wearing 60-year-old men with bellies hanging over the belts who like to drink straight from Crown Royal bottle while dancing on top of furniture can still frequent the spot after dinner at STK.  Those dudes know how to party were kind of our favorite part of CDV, so fingers-crossed!

The bouncers are giant wieners, a substantial percentage of the girls tend to dress like, uh, hired help, and guys wearing offensive cologne and man jewelry elbow you out of the way to get to the over-priced bar.  But you can have fun at these sorts of places if you check your pretension at the door and go in with the proper mindset.  This might require a few shots of Patron
