Hello Dalí
Hollywood’s Craziest New Spanish Nightspot
You do some of your finest thinking in Hollywood clubs.
Why, just last night you were pontificating on the profound influence the Spanish Surrealists had on bottle
service.
Exhibit A: a wild new supper club called
Premiere, soft-opening tomorrow night for exclusive
kickoff parties.
Though it’s owned by Vinny Laresca (Villa) and done up by Kris Keith (Te’Kila), it feels more like what
might happen if Salvador Dalí ever hosted a dance party for Jamie Foxx. Through a brick corridor off Las
Palmas, you’ll step into a two-story Spanish fun house of red velvet curtains, wrought-iron balconies and
ceilings that appear to be made of dripping candle wax. And under a giant, curving pine chandelier that can
shoot out LED happy faces: a dance floor packed with Hollywood starlets/clubbers.
And as the night swirls into thoughtful dissections of Dalí’s early experiments with Cubism (also: vodka
shots), you’ll notice the DJ has been joined by a fleet of leggy flamenco girls—only to be interrupted
by a performer who, apropos of nothing, busts out a stirring Rocky impression from the balcony.
One other note: though they call this place a supper club, it’s less about supper than club. (They’re
open 9pm to 2am.) But if you get hungry for an individual pizza,
you’re in luck. They’ll even box it up to go.
You’ve still got time to hit that Matisse-inspired speakeasy.
