I had a disappointing experience at this club. The staff were incredibly rude and lacked basic customer service skills. Additionally, the club has a concerning history of hate crimes, which raises serious questions about safety. The owner’s sense of entitlement adds to the overall unpleasant atmosphere. Not recommended. Please do not support this place.
I am so sad that the restaurant with the best food I've ever pushed past my lips, has apparently turned into yet another stereotypical LA nightclub with the same name. Seems decent enough as nightclubs go, but the restaurant was truly special.
I am not a nightclub person (just for reference, this past weekend, when I visited Terra Cotta, was just my 2nd time at a club), despite that, my time here was fantastic. Let's start with the obvious one: the line outside. The bouncer was this very courteous, professional and well-dressed African American man. He thoroughly checked my ID, and very politely let me in without a fuss. Many times people complain about security in a place (especially nightclub) and give the place bad reviews. That just means the bouncer/security person was just doing their job and this individual didn't like it! Upon entering, you're greeted by two other security guys that will pat you for guns. I am absolutely 100% behind this practice, as it gives everyone peace of mind knowing you're just vibing with a bunch of unarmed fellows (as it should be!). The inside has a bar to the left that runs all the way across the end of the venue, and a dance floor to the right with a nice setup. The DJs were great, the music was fantastic, and the people were fenomenal. Every member of the audience/patron/customer here, whether young or old, male or female, was friendly and a blast to party with. I either got lucky and went in a particularly good day, in which people just happened to be fun to talk to, and friendly, or maybe this place is always like that. Who knows? I had a blast nonetheless. The entrance is free, but there's a catch: water at the bar is 5 dollars (for a water bottle, obviously) and it makes sense. They still need to make money. I don't drink at all, so I just got a water bottle and danced the night away. I only had to use the restrooms once, and there was a short, quick and efficient line to use it. That was also due to the great clientele that frequents this place, just nice vibes overall, even in being quick, and efficient when using the facilities, and getting out of the restrooms quick so that others could use it. By 1:45am, things had to start winding down, and the DJ let us know about it. By the time the lights came on at 2am (pics posted) everyone quickly and in the most organized fashion started exiting through the other side of the venue: the back exit of the establishment. People still linger outside if you want to talk more and some even go to the Dennys nearby. My overall experience at this discotheque was nothing short of sensational. 10/10.
