Its actually really hard to rate this because I didn't come on a friday or saturday night. Â Â I think this place looks nice with cool lights. Â Bartender is good. Â They didn't play good music like other clubs do. Â Â This place is not that big, so imagine what it would be like on a crowded night.
Review Source:I am not really sure why this place gets SUCH A LASHING on Yelp....
I had A BLAST!
Situation: Saturday night - my friend was hosting an event at the Club. We had a table reserved w/bottle service.
Crew: 7 chicks and 7 dudes.
We came here around 10:45 on a Saturday night. There was a line of about 25 people outside. We waited for two minutes and said "we're here for the VIP event" and they let us right in.
You walk in the club and go down a set of stairs to the main area of the club. I really liked the decor. Very white, sexy, and classy.
Our area was in the back left corner near the bar. We had an area of about four couches in a square blocked off with a glass table in front of us.
We were served a bottle of Ciroc on ice with cranberry juice, club soda, and orange juice. Our server was a very attractive blonde who was extremely nice and well mannered. I liked her a lot.
The DJ was spinning the hits and I really enjoyed the VIP area.
The bathrooms are also very nice and the bathroom butler was probably 12 years old, but he was super cool.
We were able to talk all night and still have a blast with the loud music. Our bottle lasted about an hour and we left the club around 1:15.
The only gripe I have about this place is that there was no one here....the club was probably half full...I don't quite understand that. . Where was everyone?
Other than that...this place was great. No cover, comped bottle, and cool decor. The couch I was sitting on did have a small hole in it, tho.
PROS: Quick line
-No cover (not sure if there was)
-Fun
-Great atmosphere
-Cool decor
-Good service
-Nice location
CONS: Hole in couch
-No one at the club
I suggest you and your friends have an event here...had a great experience.
Cheers,
Sean
First of all, this dump probably loses 50% of their potential revenue because of the 2 door guys:
People avoid going there because of the door guys, or
The door guys don't let people in for no apparent reason.
Nice business model!
"Ok guys, check this out. I have a great idea for our club. Lets hire 2 high school dropouts with inferiority complexes to man the front door. That way, people will think  our club is cooler than it really is!" - Confidential Bev Hills board meeting
I was standing by the entrance and a group of 3 guys walks up. The guy says "how many in your group?" "3 guys" "3 guys?????" (with a confused/worried/disgusted look on his face, like, the guy couldnt have said anything worse than "3 guys")
He then proceeds to say "I'll let one of you in to go look around".
Umm, seriously?
These guys deserve to go bankrupt.
This place is gross (not in a disgusting dirty way, but in a tacky/lack of taste sort of way). Â
We came here for a birthday party and got in easily because we were on a guest list. Â However, once you enter the club, the first thing that struck us was the god-awful interior. Â The white tufted walls, blue/pink neon lighting, fake alligator skin columns... it was tacky and looked cheap. Â The crowd was your typical 20s/early 30s club-goer, but not the attractive kind. Â The music was forgettable. Â Not sure what they were playing, but no one was dancing. Â Oh, and it was loud. If you can't dance to the music, you should at least be able to talk to your friends. Â Since you couldn't do either, we tried to people watch. And as I mentioned, the sight was disappointing.
As we were there for a good friend's birthday, we decided to endure another 30 minutes and order some drinks. Â The bartender was nice, but he made us the worst drinks ever. Â Our order was simple: Grey Goose vodka soda and Maker's Mark on the rocks. Â First, they had no Grey Goose, just Belvedere; fine, I'll get that. Â $14 for that drink. Â The Maker's Mark on the rocks was also $14, but what really ruined it was that HE SQUEEZED LIME IN THE BOURBON! What bartender does that?! Â It was such a simple drink, but he messed it up. Â Needless to say, it was disgusting. Â My bf couldn't even finish the drink.
As the night progressed (it was already past 11pm on a Saturday), it was noticeable that there weren't many people inside. Â But we were told that there was a line of 40 people waiting outside just to get in. Typical marketing tactics of a douchey night club.
It's kinda funny that this club is located on Beverly Drive, 1 block over from Rodeo; however, this place does not reflect the slightest hint of class. Â Save your money/efforts and stay home.
Mehhhhhhhhhh. I came to Confidential to support two friends of mine that DJ'd here, and besides the great set they played, everything else was bad. Apparently some of the guys I was with (a relatively large group), ordered a bottle once we got in, got all the money together, and got no bottle. Service was non-existent. Hm. That's strange, and straight up bad business.
And another thing: What is up with the concrete floor? Did you guys spend so much money on your white couches and lazers that you thought you could completely half ass the rest? If I owned a club, I wouldn't skip corners. Get nice tile. Get a durable wood floor. Get SOMETHING. Putting in concrete like the sidewalk outside isn't going to impress anyone. And certainly not in Beverly Hills.
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! If you plan to make a birthday party, DO NOT MAKE IT AT CONFIDENTIAL! Your poor friends will be stuck outside while you sit at your empty table inside wondering why no one came. Â They came. Â They just were never let in, and were probably verbally assaulted by Craig, the bouncer from hell, in the process. Â No one deserves the sort of treatment that goes on outside Confidential. Â Unless you are a masochist, pleaseeee go anywhere else! Â I went here tonight to go to my friend's birthday party who had a table for us. Â I had the name of my friend whose birthday it was and name of person who purchased the table, I was on the list and am a decent looking single girl appropriately dressed who came on my own. Â I never made it in. Â The bouncer refused to acknowledge me at all when I was at the front of the line for over 45 minutes despite me politely saying excuse me to get his attention. Â I heard the line "Everyone here is on someones guestlist" uttered by the clueless bouncers more than once. Â Apparently Confidential could not give a crap about people with tables (which is every club on earths bread and butter) Â and there were several girls around me who were also waiting to get in for birthday parties and were on the verge of giving up as there was absolutely no rhyme or reason to who was getting in, it was all up to the crazy bouncer who let in random groups of guys while many birthday party people with tables, and groups of females stood in line. As i waited, the verbal abuse that was hurled at everyone waiting to get in by the horrific bouncer on the biggest power trip I have ever seen was DISGUSTING. He was literally yelling f-bombs in peoples faces and personal insults and screaming at everyone to "Move from the middle or they wouldn't get in" all the while pulling whatever girls he thought were hot from the middle and accepting bribes from people in the middle. Â The ONLY people who got in the entire time I was waiting WERE THE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE. Â So basically you will definitely get verbally abused if you are in the middle, but the only people who get in are in the middle. So prepare to be abused if you plan to get in. Â Every person who got in was talked down to by the bouncer, unless they were one of the girls he'd pulled from the line. Â Also something to note, they did not let in a single person of color in all the time I stood waiting and were particularly horrible to an African-American male who tried to get in. Â After a while I kept standing there just for the sheer horror of it. Â There was one russian bouncer who was physically pushing people, while the insane lunatic bouncer from hell kept saying things like "I dont care if YOU ARE GOD, no one gets in without ME approving it" Umm yeah.
Review Source:I came here a couple times, once just randomly and the second time was for my birthday party.
I love that this venue is small and I also hate that about it. It feels claustrophobic that the ceilings are so low. The dance floor and club is set up pretty chill with tables around the edges and the dance floor in the middle with a piano in the middle of the dance floor.
Since I bought a table and knew promoters I had no problem getting in, my friends that I invited on the other hand were turned away and the people that didn't come with me had hard times getting into the club.
I wouldn't go here intentionally again but it's not a good or bad club. Just eh...
The outside smoking is upstairs and by tons of garbage cans which is disgusting.
As for bottle service I don't even remember having a girl pour my drinks, I think I had to do that myself. The good thing is the cleaning busboy staff was always around to help clean.
The design is incredible. Its a small cosy attractive lounge/club that's great for just hanging out and not having to worry about a bunch of idiots. I had a lot of fun all three times that I went. The music was pretty good: upbeat mixes of house and some rap. The people were pretty friendly, and seemed like they were pretty upscale.
I liked this place because it has a lot of class, and is a change from all the headaches of all hollywood clubs. Also, getting in was pretty easy (as long as you had a few good looking girls with you).
Like everyone says, really nice interior.
But everything else is really sucky.
Music is tasteless, expensive drinks and no service at all.
At the end of the night when club lights were on there was glass and broken bottles everywhere all over the floor.
There are better places to go in the area, seriously.
This place should be called "The Death trap" They let any idiot in the club that has $30 and also give you 2 free drinks. They give you very large amounts of alcohol so by midnight everyone is pretty much waisted and you will see a lot fights inside/outside of the club. Did I mention the time I was there I only saw 2 or 3 security personal in the entire club!!! I would definitely avoid this club complitly. Not a safe place to go for a evening of fun.
Review Source:This place was called AQUA I believe before.
They've done a really good job with the redesign.
My biggest gripe with this place was that the MUSIC SUCKED.
I went here on a Saturday.
All the DJ played were hip hop tracks from the 90s.
Tupac, Biggie, Biggie, Tupac.
Same shit over and over. If he mixed in any music that was not 20 years old it was the same exact style with different lyrics.
Blow your whistle... I mean, common...
I wish he threw in some thing different like Skrillex or something like that, to mix it up a little, but no, it was the saaaame shiitt, over and over, and a lot of it was dated.
I wouldn't come back here, because:
1. it's a drive.
2. music sucked.
3. crowd and drinks were nothing to brag about.
If i could give this stuck up boojey club no stars  i would. Their "bouncers" at the front door are pethatic peices of crap on a power trip who needs to get over them selves. Just because u make $10 an hour to hold a clip board doesn't make you god. Have fun going home to your studio apartment in the valley, hope the four hours you spent outside trying to pretend to be some thing made you feel better about your self.  This place is lame, pretentious, and a complete waste of time.
Review Source:I have no complaints about getting in. The birthday girl booked a package with a party bus and a table at Confidential so we all got in with no problems.
We had a table but there was literally no service whatsoever. Â I don't know if it was because the table was booked through a VIP service website, but basically our bottle was dropped off at our table and we poured our own drinks.
The interior is all white. Â I'm so over the all white club. Â It's boring and not flattering at all in pictures. There's a mirrored wall at one end giving it that illusion of a large club, but it's more like a lounge. Â The crowd was bougie as hell. Â Not many friendly people. Â Too much of a competitive crowd. Â But then again it is located in the middle of the Rodeo shopping area so I guess I should have expected the type of crowd they bring in.
Music was really mixed but in a horrible way. 30 seconds of top 40 and then 30 seconds of house music and then 30 seconds of r&b and then 30 seconds of dubstep. Â omg it was so annoying. Â I love to dance and for once in my live I seriously gave up on trying to keep up with the beat. Â Oh and there was a grand piano in the middle of the dancefloor. Random.
Wouldn't go again.
If you have the option of staying home....STAY HOME! this place totally sucks. A promoter friend had a table and we were on the "guest list" but getting in was still annoying. We didn't wait very long but the doormen were such DBs...they wanted to split up my group claiming that they would see what they could do for the other half...they finally let us in when I refused their idiotic proposal. Once inside, all I could think of was how to tell our friend we were ready to leave after only 30min. the music was okay (...actually no not really they need a new dj) and the crowd was totally lame. It's a shame because the venue has a lot of potential.
There are a ton of old guys who probably only got in because they have a lot of money, you can tell people there are on a high horse...
Maybe this is just not the scene for me, but I like to actually dance when I go out clubbing. The music was good here, but there's a huge piano in the middle of the dance floor (?) and people were generally doing their Hollywood thing. Milling around on the dance floor looking pretty and trying not to spill their drinks. There are other places I can go to get overpriced drinks, pretty lights, and music, where there's not a 30 minute wait to get in the door, and another 30 minute wait at the bar.
Review Source:I have never been so rudely treated in my entire life! The bouncer and staff are so incredibly offensive , and ill-mannered! Â Unfortunately my friends paid for a table and it was completely not worth it! Although the decorations and atmosphere were promising the sheer lack of respect by the staff made me never want to come back again. Â This place is a complete waste of time when there are so many more fun places in LA. Â My friends and I are NEVER coming back!
Review Source:If I could give this place negative stars, I would. My friend bought a table for her 25th Golden Birthday, and half her friends (ON THE TABLE GUEST LIST) couldn't even get in to celebrate with her. The bouncer was COMPLETELY rude, and his "DISCRETION" was questionable. He let five GUYS in, while there were plenty of gorgeous GIRLS WAITING outside. When we walked up, and told him our table code (for the table guest list), his response was, "Sorry, hunny, all guest lists are closed, and it's up to discretion now." So then...what's the point of paying for a table and having a table guest list?
There were several of us on the table guest list (ALL GIRLS), and none of us could get in. My friend's boyfriend talked to the owner, and he wouldn't do anything. They wouldn't even let our friends who were INSIDE come out to get us...this is the worst service ever. If you can't even PAY for good service, what's the point of paying at all? NEVER get a table at Confidential. You will be RIPPED OFF, and half your friends (LITERALLY) will have to go home without celebrating with you.
Sorry, Confidential...I've been friends with plenty of stars and rich have-it-alls, but even THEY understand the power of the DOLLAR. If you TAKE someone's MONEY and REFUSE to provide SERVICE, people aren't stupid...they'll find somewhere else to spend their money. You can never be so exclusive that people will PAY you to mistreat them. Sorry, get your heads out of your behinds, and get some class.
I've been here twice now, once for Halloween and once for my brother's birthday party.
Halloween:
Like all things on Halloween, the line was horrifying but some bouncer pulled us out of line and let us in. Â The club was totally decked out with Halloween decorations and there was even a band all dressed up! Â Totally fun! Â We headed towards the bar to buy some drinks but didn't even make it there before getting invited to some guys' table where we drank champagne all night! Â There must be some serious ballers here!
Bro's Bday:
Started off kind of slow and we were there at 10:30, no wonder there was no trouble getting in! Â Maybe it was the Pacquio fight earlier or people were just slow moving but eventually it did pick up and so did the party mood. Â Drank at the bar a little (drinks are priced as they would for any hollywood bar or glitzy restaurant) and ended up getting a table. Â The bottle service girls wore white dresses, which kind of confused me at first because I thought they were just guests of my brothers and they were being super nice pouring me drinks until I offered to make them one lol! Â I'm dumb whatever!
Anyways, when it comes down to it this place is a lot of fun! Â Its a definite plus that my cab ride from marina del rey is much shorter to bev hills that to hollywood. Â Definitely going to come back all in good time!
Despite having a list of people for a birthday party, only half of my friends could get in, basically those with female genitalia. Let's get something straight, we are NOT in Vegas, this club is NOT worthy of even competing with the strip. 22$ for a glass of soda with a dash of JD certainly can't compete with the strip either. I'm nice, so I'll give them more than half of what they deserve--1 star. If you want to go to a club with x-fraternity brothers running the door and most of the guys on the inside "promoting" their buddies club, then this is the place. Don't ever have your birthday here and definitely don't expect to get in if you're a guy, at least until 12:30. It's not just the door guys. Ladies, don't expect to have less than nostalgic feelings of being back in college at some place with giant greek letters nailed to the front of it--the memories will start flooding back once the guys open their mouth to spray you with cheesy pick-up lines, doesn't matter what clothes they wear. (I guess this can compare to Vegas??) Paying the door guys to get your friends in doesn't work either--they just take your money. That is unless you're their mysterious "billion dollar client." Five minutes later, I saw the same guy stiff the bar tender. Dishonesty is one of my pet peeves.
I must say this is the biggest reason I had to leave it at 1 star. To top the night off, one of our friends (a guy of course) that they wouldn't let in just lost his mom to cancer and came out with us to have a good time. He never got in. There's one motto I live my life by--treat others as you would like to be treated. Doesn't matter what the paycheck, the looks, or anything else that runs the heart of Beverly Hills. I guess it would be too innovative. That being said, I'd hate to have the karma of those door guys.
UPDATE: After talking with my friends, I feel it's important to add this... The few guys that did make it in were white. ALL of the guys that were left in the line were not. Is it ironic that all of the door men were white, as well as the manager? NEWS FLASH: integration occurred in 1968. Surprise, I'm white and I love ALL of my friends no matter what color their skin. I will never do business with this place again. What can you say, though? Par for the course in in Beverly Hills.
Revamped, remodeled, taking over the old Aqua Lounge in the heart of 90210.
Club already soft opened but will be doing grand opening tonight with the smok'in crowd of French Tuesdays. Expecting a good time and hot hot hot companies.
UPDATE: This place is totally transformed from its previous self. I love the all white furnishings, baby grand pianos, multi-bar setup. Expect expensive drinks, you're in the heart of Bev Hills where money is a word that needs to be looked up in the dictionary and plastics can have different meanings (depends on who you talk to).
