I went here with my girlfriends the other night. I was surprised when we got there because all of the hype I had heard about it. The outside is nondesript and the "gatekeepers" are a middle aged smirf looking guy with a cane, a 400 pound giant, and a little weasly guy who kept flipping his red hat forwards and backwards adnasuem. The irony being, of course, that none of these guys would have gotten any near the entrance of the club had they not worked there. And it didn't really get me excited to go in seeing who the owners thought was cool enough to guard the door. Once inside, I was still not impressed: yes its pretty, but nothing really special about it. The guy/girl ratio is out of control and I got the sense that even the girls were not having as much fun here as at other spots (like Area, Mood), because it is a buzz k*ll to be in a room so full of catty estrogen. The drinks were okay, the music, the usual, really nothing to form a lasting memory. Overall, I think this club is a fad. Unlike Mood, who from the beginning was rather democratic in their entrance policy and as a result has had a pretty impressive longevity by los angeles club standards, I am sure that in a year I will not be able to remember the name of the club that I went to that night in June. If Les Deux's appeal lasts to the end of the year I will be shocked.
Pros: Parking
Cons: The ridiculous doormen, the gender ratio, etc, etc.
