Silver Platter

I’m sorry, I love this place. Cheap beer, great music, great fashion, and the rarest L.A. sighting… people who like to dance.
One of my favorite places to go on a Tuesday!

A big adventure in a tiny box.
Don’t bring your valuables.

Man, this place would be SO AWESOME if it didn’t smell so heinously of garbage. I went last night with a group of people and I really dug the music and the people and the whole very casual vibe (very not LA). I guess because I’m sometimes a mouth-​breather I didn’t notice the smell til I was done dancing for awhile, but once I did it totally killed my buzz. Also, while it’s true that it this seems like a place welcome to the trans community, four trans people does not make it a trans bar. I think though that if you’re not used to seeing trans people at all, four in one building makes it a convention.

Why five stars for a tiny, beer-​n-​wine-​only, cash-​only bar that resembles a Texan watering hole just outside of the Ktown perimeter? «Wildness» on Tuesday nights, that’s why! You can’t beat $ 5 drinks, nor the occasional performances that leave you scratching your head. Need to get blasted on a Tuesday night but don’t believe beer and wine will do it? Don’t be such a college student. Mixing is the key. A little house red, then champagne (for $ 4!), then beer, then a house white, and then you’ll find yourself on the dance floor next to the ferociously sequined gender-​benders and wretched hipsters (the decline of Western civilization!) grooving to an eclectic mix of M.I.A, electro-​house, and hip-​loosening salsa music.

4 dollar champagne, great dj’s, cash only.
think ny paradise garage meets 2009 k town, weird but good.
be prepared to dance, and feast your eyes on la’s lookers.
fucking great time.

Pansexual robosexual transsexual trysomesexual YOU BETTER WORKSEXUAL. TUESDAY NIGHTS for WiIdness. Don’t have a attitude problem please. locals mix with sequin lovers. Dancing acceptable and totally encouraged where vogueing (don’t hate) mixes with some disco and bass thrown in for good measure. And when I say Vogue I don’t mean the Madonna hit I mean some serious dirty new york back alley DANCEOFFS throwing shade. $ 4 champagne (thank you very much). They host diff performers/​acts/​bands + resident djs w/​guests as well.
