Metromix LA Blog

We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Luring in the ladies

Hollywood promoters always stress “the ratio.” As in, the girl-to-guy ratio. As in, dudes shouldn’t bother showing up to a velvet rope unless they’ve forked over $300 for bottle service and have a Brazilian model on their arm. But maybe avoiding a sausage factory is as easy as outfitting a bar with a pink motif. Take for example STK’s new lounge Coco de Ville: If Emilio Pucci was in the business of designing bars (or Marcia Brady’s bedroom), it’d probably look a lot like this! Imagine couches suspended from the ceiling, paisley yellow fabrics and bubblegum pink walls.


Enjoy the view. Even though ladies have an easier time getting in here, this joint only opens its doors to the super fabulous.

Coco’s not the only one going girly, though. I just took a tour of the Kress, located in the historic Frederick’s of Hollywood building, and the basement nightclub is girly in all the best ways: deep purple couches, shiny black tiles, pink-lit chandeliers. There’ll even be a champagne and make-up bar in the girls’ bathroom when it opens mid June. As if we girls need more reasons to escape to the bathroom in pairs!
