Republic, West Hollywood

Best of

4 of my girlfriends and I were on the guest list for Friday night at Republic. This was our first time there; however, we did not know that we’d be greeted by extremely uptight and rude bouncers. We waited outside for an hour and a half, and were told to stand in the line which was practically empty, since they were letting in even walk-ins, and of course not to forget the “VIP” line for bottle service. I think the doorman did not like our group personally, maybe because we stood up in our situation and wanted to speak with the manager. He lied to us that we were not on the guest list, even though I showed him a confirmation email that I got on my phone, and he completely humiliated us by letting us be the only ones waiting in the line. And honestly, we were a decent looking group of girls. So we decided to not waste our money on an undeserving place and easily got into AREA across the street to have a great time.
