The Highlands is another pretentious Hollywood nightclub,and I should not have expected any less. My friend had her bday party on 06/02/07- the staff advised her that her entire party would be let in all night for $10. When we arrived at 9:30pm we asked the bouncer (in a friendly manner) where we could stand to create a line,and if he knew if the guest list line and regular line were seperate-he rudely told me you have to wait in line-I innocently asked again and he told me you have to wait in line like everyone else.The idiot did not comprehend my question.So we were the beginning of the line and then the club opened,we told another bouncer we were here for a bday party at the highlands-he directed us to another line where we paid $10-ok cool we thought-we walked to the far right entrance from the front and were moved into a small place.We thought the club was bigger (having seen it online). When my friend's remaining party called her to tell her they were in the highlands and where was she-we soon realized we were in the wrong club called the loft (which happens to be connected to the highlands). We explained the situation to the same bouncer who directed us into the wrong line; however, he told us that the loft opens to the highlands at 12am- it was barely 1030pm and the bday party was already in the highlands- they told us we had two options wait in line again, which was at least an hour wait, get a small ticket and pay $10 again, or pay (again) $20 upfront and be let in to the highlands. I wished my friend a happy birthday and told her i'm sorry but i'm not paying $30 to get into a nightclub with a rude un-understanding staff. So in the end the bday girl had to pay for her own entrance. The staff was very conniving in tricking us to pay for The Loft even though we told them we were there for The Highlands, and then having the audacity to expect us to pay double what we paid again. I would never come back and advise people to do the same.
Pros: No Pros From Me
Cons: Rude Staff, Pretentious Hollywood Nightclub- DONT WASTE YOUR TIME
