I've been to all the downtown hot spots, and for vintage themed night clubs the Edison is best followed closely by Bordello. The Cicada Club does not even rank close to these two. I gave Cicada a couple chances and it never seemed to get better. Its the same type of act every week here, In fact, I think I have seen the same singer two or three times already singing the same songs! At the Bordello they get new acts in all the time, there are so many vintage acts in LA, the restaurant could take a chance and hire someone new. The saving grace for this place is the great bartender Max upstairs, he is such a gentleman and always greets you with a smile! Stop by for a drink, and then get on to Bordello!
