Then yo, you are gonna love this place!!!!
Seriously though...to all those reviewers who blathered on about how great this club is, let me just say this: I didn't realize all of you CODA employees were smart enough to use a computer, let alone form complete sentences.
Ok, I've tried to fair....I've been to this place 3 different times but each time it was worse than the last so no more.
You want specifics??? Let's start with the pretentious velvet rope entrance guarded by a mental midget bouncer. A velvet rope....in VAN NUYS??? ARE YOU KIDDING???!!! Then there's the ridiculously expensive drink prices...if your looking to catch a buzz at CODA bring lots of cash!! The music is ok but why does it have to be so freakin' loud??? I like loud music but this is ridiculous and I get tired of having to scream at people! Oh yeah...the people who go there, well let's just say that this place attracts Van Nuys finest with maybe some people from Panorama City thrown in for laughs. If your looking for a hookup you better lower your standards or start pounding those high price drinks! Hey, I don't mind dive bars and the people that frequent them but I expect a better looking crowd if I'm paying $10 at the door get it? Then again...this is VAN NUYS and you can put up all the velvet ropes you want and charge an expensive cover but it isn't going to make your club a high class establishment.
So yeah...no more Coda for me. Life is too short and there are way too many good clubs (even in the valley!) that are way better than this place.
But hey... if you don't believe me, see for yourself. One last thing though if you do decide to go there: don't park on the side street behind the club unless you like to live dangerously and don't care if your car gets broken into. They are way too dark and there are too many places for people to hide.
Pros: There is no sign for the place so you might not be able to find it (yes this is a pro!!!)
Cons: Dangerous neighborhood outside the club, pretentious attitudes and high prices inside the club.
