Element, Los Angeles

Element -

The minimalist approach to this clubs décor leaves room for a good-sized dance floor but those with tables near it might be complaining as their space slowly gets invaded as the night goes on. If you are going to go all out, reserve the tables on the stage – definitely the most elite spot in the club, if not already occupied by a celeb and his/her entourage. Tuesday night here is by far the best, with a better crowd and definitely a smaller population of novice party-goers. Thursdays and Saturdays run a close second. The venue has a decent sized outdoor area for smoking, or empty space - as it could more accurately be described, equipped with a small corner bar. If you went to Element the first time around, it hasn’t changed much, but with the new hype and energy coming from its loyalists and new investors it is definitely worth a second try.
