The Edison is an old-school club, a place that evokes the vibe of a swanky speakeasy from Prohibition days. From its almost-secret alley entrance to its self-avowed "sense of romance" which requires patrons to dress with a sense of style, The Edison is perfect for Hollywood's love of dressing up. Which means do not show up in "athletic wear of any kind," nor baggy or torn jeans, or other scruffy attire or you'll be turned away. Men must wear collared shirts and dress shoes. Once inside, The Edison is a wonderland of sights and sounds, a sunken power station now transformed into a seductive club. You'll find specialty cocktails (Absinthe, anyone?), fine wines and a menu ranging from snacks to full-on dinner choices. Live music, DJs and even an aerialist show are some of the entertainment; but note it is only open Thursday through Saturday most weeks.
