Exchange LA

If you ever decide to go to Downtown LA, it is certainly the place to be. There are abundance of bars and night clubs that you can visit. Not to mention the eateries they have during the day. But that's for another time. What I will be talking about is one of the many night clubs that adorn the Downtown area, and this one in particular is called Exchange LA.

So here's the low down:
 If you don't mind asian clubs, then this could be the place for you. However, keep in mind that it is an Asian club on Saturday nights. And the type of music they play is house. So if you are not into Asian clubs or house, then this is not the place for you. One good thing about this club is its large size! It is definitely a lot bigger than your normal Hollywood clubs, and it definitely brings you that vegas feel without the hefty price tag. Guest list is open until 10:30 p.m., and it is FREE, which is the best part. Get there early then you pay no cover charge. But get in after that then you gotta pay the $20.00 minimum. They also have express lines, but that will set you back $30.00, just so you can simply cut the line. And they also offer the usual table service. Parking is easy to find, especially on the street that it's on. One of the perks of being in Downtown LA is the fact that it lacks the price gouging in Hollywood. You will see on average a $5-10 parking fee on the same street as the venue. Drinks are typical of clubs but strong enough. They also have a patio area for you smokers. Overall, I would recommend it if you just want to go to a place that's not to expensive and easy to get into. I for one hate waiting in line and especially hate the egotistical clubs where the door man eye's you and sees if you are worthy of entering. So if you want a place that is easy on the wallet and easy to get in, this place is definitely where you want to go on a Saturday.

Pros:
-Free to get in before 10:30 p.m. (That is if you are on the guest list.)
-Cheap parking
-Asian club
-Plays decent house music
-Live performances
-Dress code isn't strict. (Just as long as you look good.)
-Large dance floor
-Cheap bottle service ($199.00 for two bottles)


Cons:
- Drinks aren't cheap
-It's primarily an Asian club. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
-Plays primarily house music. (Again not necessarily bad thing.)
