this place was so-so.. we went for a mixer, and we got to have happy hour deals after happy hour was over.  we first started off with the margarita which was quite gross.  it was watery and bitter.  those two adjectives should never be used to describe a margarita.  then i had a vodka tonic (you can't go wrong with that), and i finished it off with a yard cosmo.  the yard cosmo was surprisingly good- strong and tasty! i didn't get to try their food, but it looked quite good.  the place was pretty cramped and it was really WARM... WARM is not good for a bar.  and the restrooms are singles... which is not bad because the we can use the men's room, but bars should always have a lot of stalls because clearly, drinking makes you pee. a lot. :)

ahhhh loved it here.  such a great night.  to start things off, my friend and i had martinis, which were SUPER GOOD.  POTENT and very tasty.  we got there around 9, and we were lucky enough to get a table.  the music was awesome as well- they played DANCE music, which includes house and upbeat pop music.  then the male GOGO DANCERS CAME OUT. oHHHHhhhhh man. oHHHHhhhh myyyy. it was such a pleasure looking at them and their sinuous bodies.  the people were really nice, pleasant, and polite.  with the exception of this one guy who passed by me and grabbed my ass while holding his girfriend's hand. really rude and uncalled for. ugh.  oh and there should be more restroom stalls... the women always have to wait such a long time!  

all in all, AWESOME FUN PLACE.  definitely going back to get their food and DANCE! :)

DUDE. WHERE HAS THIS PLACE BEEN ALL MY LIFE (i was reborn when I turned 21)?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??! This place was AMAZING.  We got there around 615 ish, and there weren't that many people there.  We found that they had HAPPY HOUR, so the drinks were 2-for-1!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we got 2 flavored sojus for 12.99, which is seriously SUPER CHEAP compared to other places.  Then, because my friend and I ordered 3 rounds (6 bottles of flavored soju), they gave us FREE FOOD as service!!!!! then later, they gave us a bottle of flavored soju for FREE as service! Clearly, with so much consumption of soju, my friend and i got preeetttttyyyyyyyy drunk, but this was a FUN FEEL GOOD DRUNK because we got stuff for free and the prices were cheap.  oh and by the way, get the coconut flavored soju (it's not on the menu).  We didn't know about it, but the waiter told us.  He really shouldn't have because there probably wasn't anymore left after we were gone. :)  I'll be going back for SURE.

oh and one more thing.  WHY MUST PEOPLE SMOKE INSIDE? I walked out and got in the car smelling like an ashtray. GROSS.

we had trouble finding this place because there are too many one-way streets and streets closed off due to filming, but when we finally got there, we got to park right in front, even though it said "loading only."  We didn't stay there for long, but while we were there, it was quite fun! Other than a hair in my beer (which i got replaced) i had a pleasant time.  There was this cool patio area that you pass when walking into the bar that i wanted to try out, but i'll try it out next time!

Kress was not bad at all!  Well, maybe it's because I didn't have to pay for cover.  I was quite pleased because there was free sushi going around (not bad, by the way), and the ambiance was good.  We were at the 3rd floor, then went to the basement to dance.. i was reluctant going to the "BASEMENT" to dance because i have had awful clubbing experiences in basements of clubs with low ceilings and no ventilation, but this place was quite nice!  well ventilated, higher ceilings, and THEY PLAYED SOME HOUSE MUSIC! I really had no problem with this place other than their SUPER EARLY CLOSING TIME (2AM) and the lack of restrooms.  LA really needs to learn that 2AM is when the party gets started, not when it ends. :(

This place was so chill and PRETTY.  There were BUTTERFLIES on the ceiling! They looked SO REAL!!! My friend and I got the Westside, which was a super delicious mojito martini! It wasn't loud in there so my friend and i could hear each other.  There were not that many people, but maybe that is because it was only 830 ish.  The bouncer was really nice, there was so huge crowd jostling to grab the bartender's attention, the people were mature and classy, and I will for sure come back here again.  With a fuller wallet, of course. ;)

mEHHHHHHHHHHHh....
It was big, airy, and well ventilated but it was quite DEAD! oh and their happy hour SUCKS.  I am a HUGE happy hour person, but they only gave happy hour deals on drinks if you ordered food. I DON'T WANT FOOD! So i ordered a scooby snack shot that was just sweet and didn't seem like it had alcohol in it. The waiter was nice, but I will never go there again.

This place was not that bad... perhaps because we got our shots for free and we only stayed there for 20 minutes.  We went for the Gummy Bear shot, but the bartenders said they didn't have any so he would make us the Cherry Cheesecake shot.  It kinda sorta did taste that a cherry cheesecake, but im not sure if it actually had booze in it.  It was really dead in there and we sat at the patio, and after getting water we left.  Thanks for the free drinks though, bartenders! :D

OOooo this place was NICE.  
My friend and I came here for drinks and we sat at the cool terrace area that had a great view.  The atmosphere was laid back, and the people were friendly.  We got mojitos which I TOTALLY recommend- not too sweet, not bitter, pleasantly minty and a bit fizzy. LOVED it.  We got there around 7 and the sun started to set gradually.  The whole place was pretty and upscale, and it is really a perfect place to catch up because you can actually have a CONVERSATION instead of a shoutfest.  :) However, cocktails are quite pricey, so make sure you have CASH DOLLAz if you wanna enjoy yourself! (or you can just pre-party.. your choice).

I came here for my friend's bday party, but a couple of my friends and I came a bit early so we ordered some drinks.  I got a blueberry lemonade, and the bartender didn't know how to make it.  He studied the menu, and then he started making it.  I was expecting him to muddle blueberries and add fresh lemonade, but he used syrups, sours, and other gross stuff.  Maybe I've been going to too many place that serve up cocktails with FRESH INGREDIENTS.
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!
I got the drink, and it looked like an AMF... but that was just the color.  The cup was SMALL, the drink tasted like a melted Popsicle, and it was super WEAK.  Oh and it was also 10 bucks.  In my book, a cocktail of that abysmal quality should be 5 bucks MAX.  

Anyways, after that friends came, and the company made my experience there much better.  The whole feel of this place is quite college-y and frat-y due to the arcades and beer pong rooms.  I also had no idea Busby's became a club later! The place closed at 2, which is when things get STARTED, clearly. The party culture is NOT up to date in LA... only a FEW places are open til 4 when in NYC and Europe and Korea close at 5! I guess Busby's HAS to close early because it is in a residential area.

SO all in all, not coming back. :T
