What is something about the owners of the club that you think everyone should know?
Oliver is really into restaurants, he's not really the nightlife guy. He runs a really good restaurant, he has a couple of others: Rintintin, Cafe Select. He was also a really big DJ, a big house DJ. He did his thing back in the day, all these big raves. The 'City Fox' events of his time, that was him. Teddy is super cool, always been around the people I'm with. He came from the bottom, he worked himself up. Max...this guy knows everything about art. He's a great person to contact if you're going to buy some art. He knows all the up and coming artists. And when you talk about all these places, Electric Room, Le Baron, it's mostly around art. People who hang at these places are artists.
Who is one notable person you'd like to see at your club, who hasn't been there yet?
If there was anyone id live to see...well one of my favorite guys to come out is Woody Allen. Woody Allen has been to Le Baron multiple times, he still hasn't been to Happy Ending. But he's one of my favorite characters. He's the homie (laughs).
If someone saw you at the bar and wanted to get on your good side, what drink should they buy you?
Everyone knows I only drink tequila on the rocks. Nothing special, as long as it's a good tequila you're good to go.
What should someone NEVER wear when trying to get into your club?
The uniform. What you see every kid...it's the khakis, the button up shirt with stripes, and the brown shoes. I call that the uniform (laughs). That's what every guy that doesn't know fashion wears when they go out.
