Mi-6

NO NO NO NO!
for some reason i think this place got canned for good reason too. Once a club starts having 18+ nights its time to call it a wrap.
I wish i could have written this sooner but i just couldnt remember the name of it. Strike one. The promoters are sloppy, «Hey wanna get in the VIP line?» «SURE»
we go into this separate line where people start getting desperate and cling onto my group which only consisted of me and my home girl. some how my posse grew to 12 :/​when they told me it was cash only i had to leave and get cash. Lukcily i made the bouncer remember my face so hed let me back in… i know the tricks they play.
So were finally in the establishment and were handed tickets… okay… and the rest of our «posse» was infront of us and i over heard the lady say with a ticket its 40 bucks 0₀ … i threw that ticket down so fast and told everyone behind us to do the same. Strike two.
We finally get in and i was instantly disappointed. I could see the end of the place from where i was standing it was small actually very teeny. The ceilings were so low, which i hate and putting mirrors on the ceilings and walls does not make the place feel bigger, its not a fun house.
The downstairs got packed quickly and was not fun. the music was good but when a guy asked me if i wanted to dance and i politely declined he then started to corner me against the side of the DJ booth with some crazy warrior dance when i felt very comfortable i yelled at him to leave me alone and then he proceeded to call me a b*tch. his friend tried to apologize but the damage was done. Strike Three.
I should have left by then but me and my friend made our way upstairs which was just as small but less crowded. The crowd here was «Grown & Sexy» and even though the DJ was playing the same music is was much better. Downstairs was a disaster upstairs was fun.
After the whole night me and my girl decided to bolt and promised never to return.

Let me start by saying we went to a New Years Eve event and we bought 4 tickets on line. I’m sure it was the promotion company’s fault, but they only had it listed under «3» when they charged my sister’s bank account for 4 tickets. After some time and a conversation with the manager, we were able to get in.
Now, the website said «FORMAL ATTIRE». Because this was an NYE event and we were in West Hollywood, my group and I dressed up. When we showed up, there were jeans, sneaks and fitted caps standing in line and in the club. ARE YOU SERIOUS? The club is tiny with 2 stories. The 2^nd story was completely blocked off and we couldn’t even get up there until the end of the night. By the time we did, we realized how crowded we were and went back downstairs. Needless to say, I went with a fun group and we had a great time regardless. But c’mon MI-​6, step your game up. Would I go again? probably not. Not unless I went with a good group…

You won’t normally notice it as you’re driving down Santa Monica Boulevard… make a U turn at Almont Drive and it’s on the right side, next to the Troubadour. If you don’t want to pay for valet, instead of making a complete U turn, go into the small street which takes you to the back alley. There’s a few street parking spots; if you turn on to any other street, watch for signs that indicate permit parking only.
The venue is small and cozy with lots of seating. I really enjoyed the lighting and ambiance; swanky… As you go up the stairs there’s mirrors too. I guess you could check yourself out throughout the night? Haha. The upstairs is another lounge with lots of seating and another bar.
When I went last night, I got 2 free drinks from the bartender for lending her my Santa hat =) I asked for a fruity drink and she made something up; it was SO good! A girl next to me asked me what it was and I told her to go to the female bartender. When I went back for my second free drink, I noticed several other people getting the same drink!
The bartenders here are nice and security is chill; we didn’t have any problems. For clubbing events, it’s all about who’s hosting the event! Check out Underworld Productions’s future events:

Little Club on the west side.
Small Crowded clubs can be cool to
Cruise In
Groove In
and try to make a move in
And this one is nothing different.
The trick is to not have high expectations and just have fun with your peeps.

This place has the Hollywood pretentious feel without the draw or right to do so. The venue looks great, very modern with strategically placed lights. Two stories. The layout of the dance floor on second floor is terrible, causing a choke point between the dance floor and the bar, the two places that need easy access for profit and enjoyment. It’s hard to move around there, and if you find a good spot, you’re very reluctant to move beyond that.
Me thinks not.

My friend promotes for this club, so I decided to try it out since I’m pretty new to the clubbing scene. I went this past Friday night when MI-​6 was hosting the Madison Bleu and Motives fashion show for Fashion Week.
PARKING
I arrived a little past 10:30 pm and parking was pretty hard to find. I eventually drove to the back of the club and self-​parked for $ 10. Even though I was late, my promoter friend still got me in for free (my male friend had to pay a $ 10 cover).
VENUE
Going in, the first thing I noticed was how small the place is. The dance floor is about the size of my living room and the rest of the area is left for people with tables. There are two bars with great, attentive bar tenders, so that was a plus. My only issue is that because the venue is small, it was a bitch trying to get through the crowds. There is also an outside patio to smoke.
CROWD
Because of the fashion show, there were a lot of photographers in the club, along with many friends and supporters of the designers so I felt the crowd was much older — around late 20s to mid 30s. There were also a lot of fobs the nights I went but hey, I love fobs, so I ain’t complaining.
MUSIC
The DJ is another friend of mine, so I have nothing bad to say :) He played a lot of Top 40 songs, along with popular Michael Jackson hits. However, no one was dancing — everyone was kind of just standing around and drinking. They even had someone speak over the music to remind everyone that there was a dance floor. After the fashion show ended though, that’s when everyone began dancing… but that was around 1 AM.
DRINKS
I bought a shot of Patron for my friend and a Midouri Sour for myself, which came to the total of $ 24. My promoter friend hooked me up with two Watermelon shots, the club specialty, which was pretty good.
Overall, the place is decent but I probably wouldn’t go back unless there was a special occasion.

This place was boring. Even one of the bouncers told me that it was a dead club. He says, «It used to be happening».
The décor was interesting and I liked that they kept the music at a reasonable level. I could actually have a conversation over it. I drank water and a red bull, so I can’t comment on drinks, but friends reported that they were decent and prices were ok.
What a strange crowd in there, and people just looked bored.

Previously known as Foxtail.
Two story intimate venue.
Close by nightlife: Troubadour, «Boyztown», Sunset Strip.
Those are about the only things worth mentioning. Any other questions or concerns… the answer is no.

As part of my friend’s bachelorette party, we went to try out MI-​6. I’m not sure what I was expecting as I had never been to Foxtail.
We walked in and were taken to a table next to a bachelor party. The club was pretty tiny and almost completely empty at 12:30am. I’m used to going to clubs and having absolutely no room to move around. In MI-​6, I could have done cartwheels and not hit a single person!
The men in the bachelor party were a little socially awkward and kept shouting «shots shots shots shots shotshot shots shots shots shotshot shots shots shots shotshot, everybody!» It’s fine to «sing» along when that song is on, but when Gaga or Justin Bieber is on and you KEEP shouting, it just gets annoying.
In the seating area next to us, there were 5 – 6 people sitting there looking incredibly bored. A couple minutes later, they were all full on sleeping. I get when one person might pass out cuz they had too much to drink, but ALL of them were completely asleep – that has to tell you something about the vibe of the club.
Sorry MI-​6, you’re a bit of an EPIC FAIL as a «hot» Hollywood club.

You probably wont see James Bond at this Mi-​6, but there’s low cut dresses and futuristic décor aplenty. A vast contrast to the hipster mob at the Troubadour a few steps away, Mi-​6 is a posh and pretentious club where security is all clad in black suits. Our hero showed up around 11 PM without making reservations beforehand and was somehow able to talk his way to the front of the line and get in with his guest at no charge based on his sharp wits, d-​bag attitude, and sly charm.
Past the «hall of mirrors» reminiscent of the funhouse in The Man with the Golden Gun (hell yeah Roger Moore), the club opens into a dark ground floor with very low ceilings. Flashing blue LED ceiling lights and a heavy sound system makes Mi-​6 feel pretty bumpin’ on the weekend. Sparklers light up and draw attention to the table service, which is definitely on the pricey side.
The 3 floor layout is packed fairly tight vertically into a space that could have been a spacious two floor building. The ceilings were so low that when our hero was throwing his hands up and «raising the roof» he could actually touch the ceiling in the lower sections.
For a stuck-​up West Hollywood clubbing experience, it’s actually not too shabby if you can get in the door.
PROS:
— High energy club with a lot of danceable top 40 music that gets pretty packed on the first floor after midnight.
— Stylish décor with LED ceiling lights that flash with the music.
CONS:
— Somewhat arbitrary $ 20 cover that some people get slapped with even if they are on the guest list.
— Not much parking nearby other than valet.
— Pricey drinks in the mid-​teens as is standard with most WeHo clubs.

MI-6…I think NOT! Foxtail was wayyyy better MI-​6, and Foxtail was not memorable by any means. I don’t know about the décor or how it was remodeled, it looked exactly like the old club except crappier, dirtier, emptier and uglier. We came here on a Saturday night around midnight and the place was frickin empty! My girls and I got through without any problems, but the hostess pimped us out to a bachelor party by sitting us next to them. The only reason why I gave it even one star was because somehow a Grey Goose bottle showed up at our table and we got some free shots.
But man, there were these 2 girls sitting at the table right next to us pretty much passed out on each other. No one kicked them out probably because the place was empty and needed bodies. even if they were completely gone. My friend and I tried to request a song from the DJ and the stuck up b! t** didn’t even acknowledge us while some other girl was told off by security to not bother her. I mean if you have 10 people dancing to your music in a club and 3 people are trying to request something, you should LISTEN. Or at least acknowledge but not this sucker, she had absolutely no interest and probably that is the reason by she is the DJ at this wonderful place. The crowd was awful…2 okay looking people does not make a whole one unfortunately. Perhaps it’s PMS, but stay away from this place!

Mi-​6 was pretty fun. I came with a group of 6 hot mamas so getting in was no problem.
At the bar however, the service was slow, the bartender was pretty rude and drinks were pricy, $ 14 for a well cocktail? That seems loco but I get it, its LA. Another annoying thing that happened at the bar, was the bartender charging a $ 250 temporary charge to my friends ATM card. she said the charge didn’t go away for over a week.
The night we were there McLovin was there which was funny since lots of hot girls were surrounding him. That probably sucks for him since he is basically known as McLovin and no one really knows his real name but and doesn’t suck since he is SuperBad-​looking and can finagle hot mamas.
Anyway, we ended up making friends with MosDef and drinking his bottle service with his entourage.
Overall it was a good time. Next I go I will make sure to get the free champagne connection.

Small place, normal priced drink-​wise for the Weho crowd. No trouble getting in (of course was with all girls). Staff was friendly, even when I forgot my credit card and ID at the end of the night, went back and had a bouncer bring me back up to get it, then he hit on me.
Pretty good music. I’d say a 2^nd or third choice in bars/​clubs on a Friday night.

Ugh.
Avoid like the plague.
I came with a huge group and we got the VIP treatment at the door: no line and no cover. I still didn’t like the place.
All the hallmarks of a really hot club, with nothing of value to back it up with. Expensive drinks, rude pretentious staff, cliquey pretentious crowd, no coat check, no place to sit, low ceilings, cheesy décor, weird layout. Awkwardly placed VIP booths in the middle of the dance floor. They even light sparklers taped to every new bottle that comes out to a table. I guess it is supposed to be festive, but just ends up looking like a cheap gimmick.
The music was OK, but not good enough to be redeeming.
There are so many better places in Hollywood.
I won’t be going back, ever.

I’m sorry, it’s rare that I write bad reviews only because I feel that maybe my experience in a place is just mine. BUT, I went last night and this club is the reason I don’t party in Hollywood. Next time I attempt to pay 40 dollars or better yet even go to an «Hollywood» spot, someone please slap me out of it! If you like wanna be ballers still working on their game, silicone women looking for a meal ticket, Jersey Shore rejects, a wack techno only playlist, terrible live performances out of nowhere, and 20 dollar cover (yes women too) even if you’re on a guest list! Then this is the place for you!
Oh, but as the door women told me, «We do accept credit cards.» so I guess that’s a good thing about the door.
I just want a refund and punitive damages for the cover and time wasted at this place!

I went to MI-​6 on a Sunday night and this place was packed with a awsome looking crowd, man and women, great energy and the DJ had an excepitional music selection, i couldn’t stop dancing.
I love the fact that this place has mirrors everywhere it gives me a feeling that the club is bigger than what it really is. I am not a big fan of low ceiling, i kinda get claustrophobic but for some reason i was just fine .
I also liked the floor plan and how the tables were set up, my table was next to the DJ booth and i had a panoramic view of the club. The staff was cooperative and they were bringing the bottles really fast .
I truly believe that with great friends you can have a wonderful time no matter where you at, i had 9 friends with me that night and we had the best time ever, i also didn’t have any problems or had to wait to get in, but i have to agree that in Hollywood you must know somebody or be someone that they know of to get in fast.
I will definitely go back for some more excitement.

This place is everything that is wrong with Los Angeles.
I get it, there will always be places here that are a known fact that you have to be «hot» (or just dressed slutty) and know someone to get in.
But I feel really bad for the people in line last night that came for the Flaunt Magazine event thinking they would get in. I really think they mislead people just to use them to stand out front. To those people: don’t worry, you really aren’t missing ANYTHING… except the free vodka they had sponsored for the event.
I was not impressed with the décor inside, the music was a mix of top 40 hits, and it’s just small. Fortunately, this place won’t be around long at all, as all of those places shut down and reopen as another douchy place in 3 months.

I came here on a Saturday night in January and damn this place is HOT. My experience was enhanced by the fact that my buddies dropped $ 1,000 on a table and booze and I was there with 9 of my friends but it would have been fun without all that too. I don’t know what drink prices were like because I didn’t pay for anything but they’re probably up there.
Almost every inch of the walls and low ceilings are covered with mirrors and the entrance feels like a mirror house maze. I had no problem with smokers patio & bathroom space. There was a perfect amount of people in there and a good ratio of hot women to guys.
We dropped a promoter’s name and skipped the line and got in free, and the bouncers didn’t give us any shit. I still prefer My House on a Saturday night and H. Wood on a Friday night but I’ll definitely be coming back here and recommending it to my friends.

A girlfriend and I decided we needed one more night out on the town before the craziness of the first official full-​work-​week-​after-​the-​holidays kicked in (plus, she wanted to wear her NYE dress again, but don’t tell her I told you), but we weren’t sure where we should go. After all, we are grown women now and «clubbing» on a Saturday just didn’t seem appropriate. However, there we were perfectly coiffed and hotly dressed, and it was inevitable that we would end up at said unfathomable establishment. Enter an email she received from promoters of mi-​6 (not M16 as I originally thought, bang bang) that said «complimentary champagne and blah blah blah…» Sounds like we have a leggy lift off!
We got there are tad bit early as we were under the impression it opened at 10 p.m. and the free beverages would only be available until 11 pm, so we wanted to assure our presence for the entire power hour. Unfortunately, the club didn’t open until 10:30, so there we were with a few other anxious ladies awaiting our fashionably on-​time entrance. After about less than 5 minutes of standing outside being looked at up and down by the 12 clipboard guards, they let all the ladies outside in. So, apparently the early bird does get the drink.
In we walked through a glass corridor that looked like a carnival maze. You weren’t sure if you were walking into a hallway or into yourself. Very strange and we hadn’t even had our first flute yet! Of course no one was in the place, so we sauntered over to an open bar (literally) and started guzzling our bubbly (classy, I know). Not my favorite bartenders, as clearly they were annoyed with the complimentary beverages since they associate offerings like this with «no tip» kind of patrons. But, I proved them wrong, and yet still went the night without a smile or generous pour. Humph. The DJ was playing some hot tunes, mixing old beats with new (think 2 Live Crew and The Dream), so we were able to get down with the get down. Power hour was over, but the good times were just getting started.
The DJ continued to inspire club-​goers to get low, do the stanky leg, soulja boy, meet someone at the hotel, sport a poker face and so on. And, yes, I know how to shake it like a salt shaker, so you best believe I moved my hips like yeah.

I found it odd that everyone being let into Mi 6 was lighter than a paper bag. Yes, I brought up the paper bag test from back in the day. I understand the pretentiousness of the Hollywood club scene however, the doorman (Rob) at Mi — 6 took it to another level. Let’s just say all of those being warmly welcomed into the club had a certain similar look about them if you know what I mean. I think it is very disturbing that in 2009 everyone of all backgrounds can’t party together on a Saturday night in LA.
Not only was the staff rude, but I think I have seen my fair share of shiny leggings and clear heels.
Thankfully Coco De Ville was waiting a few miles away with open arms.
p.s AND since when do you have have the promoter who put you on list, call the bouncer to verify, even though you have written confirmation?
