Slide #3
John Terzian
Outside of your own clubs, where else do you like to hang out and why?
Chateau Marmont.
Where would you take someone, who is visiting from out of town, and you want them to get a taste of L.A. nightlife?
I think either Soho House or Chateau Marmont would be the best places to have someone feel the L.A. nightlife.
If you are not a celebrity, model, or a Kardashian, what is the best way to get into a “top” nightclub/venue?
I think if you have the right attitude and confidence, you’ll get in.
What makes L.A. nightlife different from other cities?
I embrace it. Everyone fights it, but you just have to accept it. It makes my job hard, but it also keeps me on my toes. I disagree with a lot of people when they say that L.A. has a laughable nightlife. It’s good here. People are building good clubs and bars. This makes it more competitive. When we did Hooray Henry's, every second was focused on the design and the details… [Also] you have to reinvent yourself constantly to endure. The reason Bootsy's has been lasting is because every day we are coming up with new charities, new events, new parties, daytime activations.
