Beauty Bar

My favorite part of the bachelorette party was our stop at the Beauty Bar on LA's La Cahuenga corridor. It's a small little bar/club that offers drinks, dancing, manicures, and henna tattoos. After the bartender whipped me up a pretty delicious virgin concoction, I headed over to the manicure station to get my nails done. I then hit the dance floor, where I conveniently incorporating the waving of my hands to dry my nails into my regular dance routine.

The interior of this place was something right out of the 60's. Which makes sense, since the owners retrofitted the space with a mid-sixties salon interior salvaged from Bakersfield. Because the bar has a retro vibe, it draws more of a hipster crowd (and surprisingly more guys than girls) and a wider range of dance tunes than your normal clubbin' atmosphere. I enjoyed every minute!

The Edison - Downtown LA

After checking in at the Farmer's Daughter, the first stop of the night for Friday's Bachelorette party was The Edison - a swanky bar and lounge in downtown LA. The Edison has a very cool, old fashioned vibe and was designed inside the Higgins Building, site of the first privately owned power plant in LA. Much of the original architecture and mechanical fixtures survive and are incorporated into the industrial 20's decor. I also encourage you to check out The Edison's website here, it's a perfect reflection of the overall feel and attention to detail that you'll find in the actual club.
