Greystone Manor Club / Lounge / Restaurant

BEVERLY GROVE, LOS ANGELES –

True supper clubs must present a high-class image, and even the most diehard club hater would have to admit that Greystone Manor is the picture of opulence.

The Hollywood glitterati are known to flock here, enduring a barrage of red carpet flashbulbs before joining the rest of the A-listers, hobnobbers, and lucky optimists dressed the part as they descend a grand staircase into the belly of this ornate beast.

Hungry revelers can start the night early with platters of short ribs, pork sliders, and Monster Manor fries, or snack on seasonal shareable plates before the headlining DJ starts whipping it up from his lofty seat.

A steampunk-kissed, neo-Renaissance décor is prevalent throughout, from the brass grommets on the walls and brilliant LED chandeliers to the portholes on the doors and the industrial-meets-fantastical costumes of the dancers and aerialists who move effortlessly through the night’s bedlam.

The VIP booths surrounding the DJ probably offer the best view of the action, although table service booths abound in virtually every nook. Two large bars flanking the center of the room serve traditional libations and handcrafted cocktails, delicately sipped by the expertly airbrushed women listening to their chiseled fellas elaborate on the bulge of their bank accounts.

Global economies may be faltering outside, but within the thick baroque walls of Greystone Manor, it’s always the Golden Age.
