| - Honestly, I had fun at Blush this weekend because of the great group I was with. It's all about the company you keep and I think we could have had fun in anywhere.
So divorcing that aspect from my review, I have to give Blush a thumbs down overall.
First thing: drinks are expensive even by LA standards. I got a cranberry vodka, a Jag and red bull, and a water for $35.
Second thing: the music kind of sucked.
Third thing: towards the end of the night a friend and I sat down on a couch on the dance floor. She took off her heels for a moment and a staff person picking up empty glasses came up to her and told her to put them back on.
She did. Then he turns to me and says, "Are you with these people?" (pointing to 3 people sitting across from us on the couch). "No," i said.
"Then you have to move. They paid $2,000 for this spot tonight."
"Ok, that's fine," I said, getting up. (Please note there was no visible sign stating that the couches were VIP or for table service).
"Excuse me," he curtly said, waiting for me to actually step away from the couch so he could get by.
Why the attitude? I didn't argue or protest. I mean, we might not have gotten table service for $2,000, but I'm still spending $17 per drink in your bar. WTF.
One other strange event -- after ordering the drinks I was signing the bill when a man came up behind me and put his hand over the drinks for a minute. He said something and walked away and we noticed he had put two new straws in our drinks.
We decided to err on the side of caution and not drink them. Told a bartender who asked to see our receipts, and then dumped them out and poured us two new drinks.
Overall a strange night. It was better than nothing, but if I have a choice I'd rather party somewhere else next time.
