The Edison Los Angeles, Venue Description

Looking to light up?  Given its call to fame as the first building in Los Angeles to generate its own electricity nearly a century ago, The Edison is definitely a good place to start.  The basement bar continues it’s ingenuity to this day, maintaining an old world vibe through faded Electric Company murals, old-fashioned turbines, and amber-hued lighting. Conjuring images of our grandparents’ speakeasies, the bar features a stirring Scotch menu and eclectic cocktails like its namesake mix with pear-infused liquor and lavender honey.  Midnight munchies may make you consider supper club favorites like the mac n’ cheese and deviled eggs.  And while there is a dance floor, please don’t let us catch you doing the electric slide.

The review below pretty much covers it. Save you money and time. Lousy atttitude and third rate acts. The food and drinks? Appalling. Eat at Burger King before you go, if you are stupid enough to go. And we went there was a famous celebrity! I can't imagine how badly they'd treat you if you were a civilian!

Pay to get treated like garbage!
WORST customer service I've ever paid so much for.

Pro - retro atmosphere, occasional sexy dancers, occasional cheap promos.

CONS

Overpriced food and drinks, even during happy hour.

No matter how much money you've already spent, you must spend an additional $25 per person if you want to sit down at a table.

Your waitress, Veronica, will forbid you from ordering from others.

She will then IGNORE you after your first order (she's busy with real table customers)

You will have to get the right sauce for your food from the busboy

Your food is cold by the time you get it

You will have to get a glass of water from another busboy

Which you asked for an hour ago from your waitress, Veronica.

An 18% service fee will be added to your tab.

You will be polite but clear when you express your dissatisfaction.

Veronica will spit "That's fine" at you.

Barbara, the general manager, will pretend to listen to you.

She will then cut you off with "I'm busy" and leave.

John, the manager, will clean up Veronica and Barbara's mess by being the only person possessing any professional courtesy in the entire establishment.

John will apologize for the attitude you have paid to endure this evening, and take off the 18% service fee (if you weren't dumb enough to pay it already).

Veronica will then talk behind your back to the bouncers, pointing and glaring at you from across the room.

You will nod at her to be polite, but she will turn her head away haughtily, showing you her back.

You cannot say it is an unfamiliar sight.
