If your start-of-the-week blues can only be cured by late nights in
subterranean clubs, Hollywood’s newest spot could do the trick
tonight and every Monday—and only on Mondays. Cathouse LA, open once
a week, officially launches this evening in the former home of
hang-to-the-stars China Club, and it leans on diamond-studded tufted
leather booths, lingerie-clad models and VIP rooms to modernize the
speakeasy concept (no, you don’t need a password, but yes, the
entrance is essentially unmarked). There's no food on offer—except
for the chocolate-covered strawberries given to everyone at
midnight—and a few of their house cocktails include the Behind the
Mask, made with ginger beer, bourbon, St Germain and bitters; the Cat
House, with lemon, raspberry syrup and egg whites, all dusted with
edible gold on top; the Madame Larue, of citrus vodka, St Germain and
a strawberry cider beer; and the Room 7, made with bourbon, amaretto
and Frangelico. There are also classic-leaning cocktails, bubbly
sippers and a playlist of ’90s, 2000s and contemporary music because
“the venue pays homage to the purity of music rather than the DJ,”
according to a news release—which, let’s be honest, feels like a
fancier way of saying they didn’t want to staff one.
