Ok Ok, its a Hollywood thing. You have to know people, people! Once you know people you then don’t have to worry about standing outside with that awkward look on your face trying to ignore out why they aren’t letting anyone in. This is true to Hollywood form. Luckily, I was with people who knew someone so we didn’t pay the 20 $ cover. Besides that the place doesn’t fill up to around mid night so don’t be alarmed if around 11:00 the place is empty. And when it fills, it fills. I went on a Sat night, which is hip hop night. Starts off with«international, radio– friendly» hip hop and house music then as the night gets thicker, it changes to a more gritty hip hop(Tyga, 2 chainz, lil wayne). Yes there are topless girls doing strange things over your head, but after about an hour you get used to it and could care less. Ironically, they are not moving slutty, more sensual and artsy. CONS: The Hollywood judgmental door(trying to keep the goons out lol). Bathrooms are extremely dark. No light, whatsoever. One bar area that’s overcrowded and rather pricey. Not a lot of dancing space. PROS: Pretty decent crowd of people, pleasant security. Good music and a 24 hr Mexican food spot across the street. More info: Valet 20 $, dress code: upscale. Plenty of «full» bottle service tables. Hope this helped!

Small and crowded venue, but the décor was good(s&m ladies crawling on nets — definitely a unique touch), and the price was right(I knew the bouncer that night which meant no line or cover). Oh yeah, and Flo-rida was there so that upped the coolness factor just a bit… and I met a group of drunk dentist who kept the Gray Goose flowing, so based on these factors I can’t help but give 4 stars because I had a damn good time. Interesting place; I could see how its past it hay day of coolness, but thats LA for you.

* If it is possible for an establishment to somehow steal your innocence and make you feel downright filthy and diseased just from walking through the door, this place does it! * I have heard Voyeur was a good spot at one point, but I can assure you that it is absolutely terrible as of late. I got talked into coming here recently, and was blown away by the wretched, dank, utterly grotesque atmosphere. I will say that I enjoy that the crowd there is ethnically diverse for a change. Honestly I am mildly intrigued by the topless dancers climbing all over the place as well. Most people I talked to were quite nice. However, I can do without the hand full of low-class, disgusting men I encountered. I was absolutely repulsed by the straight trash that emerged to gawk at these dancers. It was honestly depressing, and I definitely won’t return unless this place gets revamped. I have never felt worse after leaving a club in LA.

Wow… that fight that broke out last month was ridiculous. Seriously?! A 10 min brawl and security didn’t stop it? So ghetto. Oh, and it’s practically a «free» strip club. Don’t get me wrong. I admire the girls doing their thing… it’s the OLD men in the club watching them. Um, yea, like I really want to go into a club with at least 5 old guys watching these

Tons of titties. Lots of fun, great DJ. Poor bottle service. Over crowded. Average if not downright disappointing looking crowd. Nice bouncers and the lady at the door was nice, just get on her good side. Overall I had fun and I’d come back.

NOTHING like Voyeur San Diego. My gf and i gave this club a try because our friend was the DJ that night. And he told us Rick Ross & RayJ were going to be there. RayJ was but Ross never showed. Anyway the club was to capacity, it‘s a very small crowded club. We went on a friday and it was an urban crowd, therefore hip hop/rap was being played. Which i love and is the best music to dance to in my opinion. Some bouncers were cool, others rude. The nearly naked dancers were kinda neat but then also awkward. Doesnt fit the vibe i would say. all in all It was a fun night. I would not go back unless our friend was djing again though. They also just started a 18+ night on thursday this last week. all other nights are 21+

Waaaaaay too many motherfuckers in a space that is feels like the equivalent of a Bikram yoga studio. Like so many others have mentioned, where the hell is the dance floor? With the temps in the high 90’s(even standing you’ll break a sweat), don’t try to cool down by chilling on the patio. It’s smaller than my one bedroom apartments patio! Seriously! I’m giving 2 stars for the crowd being attractive and mixed, and the bouncers being cordial, but other than that this place is a HELLNO on my list.

AVOID, AVOID! It was my 26th bday and I got a table on friday night… but what a waste! This place was empty(which was fine with me since we could dance all over the place) but THEYSHUTITDOWNAT12!!! I demanded to get my money back but no luck — we had just gotten there, spent $ 500 on a bottle and got kicked out! Not only was I completely embarrassed for dragging my friends to an empty club, but they bamboozled me on top of it! The manager said he would«take care» of me next time, but good luck getting any of these money grubbin douche bags to call you back. All their voicemail boxes are full and your emails go to space.

Dear Voyeur, 1. If I wanted to see a topless show I’d go to Vegas or a strip joint. 2. Please don’t let the dancers squat on top of the bar with their bare a** in my face while I order my drinks. That’s just disrespectful and it makes me want to yak before any alcohol got involved. Thanks! With that said, I just wanted to mention that the staff was very friendly, from the bartenders to the bouncers, minus the S&M chick posing on the counter. She just made everyone uncomfortable. Might want to save that for the end of the night, not at 10:30 when some people are still waiting for their first drink. Could’ve gone without her a** in my face though. Doesn’t matter if you just showered, your BLANK still don’t smell like roses. Forgot to mention, one female bartender said there was a $ 25 minimum for credit cards so my BF kept his tab open. When we returned for another drink, the male bartender said, «nahh…there is no minimum» and just closed the tab for him. EVIL!!!

Voyeur: 1. A person who derives sexual gratification from observing the naked bodies or sexual acts of others, especially from a secret vantage point. 2. An obsessive observer of sordid or sensational subjects. From That explains the topless chicks. I don’t understand the negative comments/ratings. I also noticed the«disapproving» rhetoric regarding said dancers came from the female critics here. No surprise there. A little insecure and jealous perhaps, ladies? Look, this a nightclub. Most of us come to this type establishment looking for the same few things most places try to provide but don’t always do: alcohol, dance music, ambiance and(maybe most importantly) pretty people. Everything else is what you make of it. Alcohol: A given. Don’t like the prices? Limit your drinking or get your liquor on somewhere else. Or earn more cash. It is what it is and the place has got to make money somehow or there is no club. Everyone seems to forget that. Dance music: I was there Sunday. House and techno were on order. The sound system is clean, crisp(not obnoxious loud) and I like this type music when I want to move my body. Each night is a different genre. I’m told they’re open Thurs — Sun nights. Ambiance: This is where there are different strokes for different folks. There is no designated dance floor. I think this is ingenious. This means people are shaking it everywhere. Don’t you all see the possibilities? Use your imaginations… The glass box and overhead netting where the topless lovelies perform is cool. Whenever a table ordered«bottle service»(methinks I saw Belvedere and Grey Goose; $ 3 — 400 per?) another scantily clad cutie ceremoniously came marching out carrying fiery torches/sparklers attached to the bottle necks over her head. Nothing like conspicuous consumption in a prolonged down economy. Gotta love it and God Bless America. Pretty people: Did I mention there are topless dancers there? Beyond that, if you like beautiful girls between ages 21 and 35 dancing all around you because there’s no specific dance floor, you won’t be disappointed. Yes, ladies, there are the requisite hetero pretty boys there too. P. S. Another Unilocal critic alleged the club is homophobic. Nonsense. I saw at least 3 flamboyant, gay guys there gawking at the topless babes working the glass box. Go figure. And yeah, they were pretty boys. Pretentious? Sure. Obnoxious? Nah… lighten up. Posers? Some… so let them pose. Good music and lovely, approachable ladies makes, for me, a successful nightclub experience. I will be back.

Have you been to a rated R version of Knotts Scary Farm? Well, this place would be it! The half-naked, creepy, promiscuous looking dancers wear nothing but star shaped stickers to cover their nipples and that’s it. I’m sure this sentence just made a few people raise their brows. I’m not sure why some of them wear freaky masks; I guess some people find scary things kinky? I just find it freaking weird. There’s also a funky S&M(like the Rhianna song) theme going on because the dancers use whips to entertain guys… and girls. This place is more of a lounge than a club. I’m a wanderer at clubs, so I need lots of space to walk and sometimes speed walk in. I feel a bit confined here. But I will say, Voyeur has a good crowd — friendly people and good dancing music — just not enough space to really get your groove on. If you like to jump while you dance, this is not your place to go because the dance floor is pretty small, and it’s surrounded by bottle service tables. Warning: Gawd, if you’re going to order drinks, order all your drinks in one attempt because it can take up to 20 minutes until the bartenders acknowledge you. This place has ONLYONE bar, so it’s not like you can say«screw you» and walk to another bar. You have no choice but to wait. The drinks at this place is pricier than other clubs in Hollywood. I think it’s kinda ridic considering this place ain’t even in h-wood, and it’s so tiny. Clubbing is about dancing and drinking. If a club limits your experience to drink and dance, then it deserves at most a 2. I guuuuuuess the funky S&M theme is somewhat unique.

Two stars is my two cents. I’m not a dance club/lounge/bar kind of guy but I don’t hate them. In fact, I actually like going to them occasionally, especially dive bars. Dive bars are like cafes for adults – casual and unpretentious. This place is «happening» and many kinds of pretentious IMHO. 1) The drinks are priced higher than what I’m used to and not as good or strong in addition to being small and having lots of ice. Could have just been my drink – and my friends. Made me miss Mom’s Bar where the drinks are delicious(and I hate drinking!). 2&3) $ 15 parking and then cover is lame. Definitely not worth it either IMHO. Yes, the inside is pretty lush but so was University Hillcrest and they’re closed( ). 4) $ 6 bottle water is expensive. University Hillcrest also served expensive water and they’re closed. 5) The dancing wasn’t necessarily hot. More like weird than sexy. Gema C, Harmonie T, and I wonder why anyone thought«dancing with a double-headed baby doll complete with umbilical chord»(Harmonie T’s words) was sexy. Also, nowhere near as risqué as some of the gay clubs I’ve been to. I think if it wasn’t for Jersey Shore, Leonardo DiCaprio, and the Republican National Committee, this place would have been a goner. This place is too cool for me to like and I guess if it had better drinks, reasonable prices, and better dancing, it wouldn’t be as cool. This club could be your cup of tea but it’s not mine. I like going to place without long lines or promoter guestlists. I don’t need to be special and definitely don’t need any club to make me feel not special either. I just want to hang with friends, maybe drink, hopefully eat, and have a nice conversation and some dance time.

Voyeur — a person who gains sexual pleasure from watching others when they are naked or engaged in sexual activity. This is the absolute perfect name for this nightclub that not only comes with dancing, but also with girl dancers with small pasties covering their breasts and thongs barely covering there butts. If you are a man, you will enjoy these dancers every move. They are dressed in different costumes every night. When I came here for a Unilocal event there was an aerobics dancer on the bar, and women dressed up as rabbits with 2-headed dolls. Some sick fantasy. Last night when I came the women were dressed as elephants, and then changed back into their bunny gear. From there tooshes up in the air, to their boobs bopping to the music, if you are a voyeur(like most men) you will be in awe. The music is excellent. Great DJs always. Only issue is, the club is small so you are basically dancing on top of people. Drinks are pricy, but what do you expect, this is Los Angeles. Parking is difficult, bring money for valet. Also, come early if you want to get in or you may wait in line for a while. Check out this club. You will most likely have a good time. I bet you.

I’m totally loving Voyeur right now. The vibe is great and the music is always exactly what the crowd needs. Not as crampt and full of douchebags as I have read or seen. Go check it out… before another hot spot takes over!

I completely agree with a few other reviews regarding a «good-looking crowd.» The guys were gorgeous(and they know it). The girls were beautiful(and they showed it). I loved the Erotica/Burlesque theme. Not for the tame-hearted. Girls in leotards and tights and gas masks and Oozies — - FUN! Getting packed in to the brim, being bumped into, and having a drink spilled on my arm— NOTFUN. I also couldn’t help but notice that the crowd looked very White/Caucasian. If you’ve read my reviews, I’m sure you see my fondness of Asians. As a white girl I was fine, but think my friend didn’t feel like she blended in. Not cool bouncer. I would’ve liked a little more variety of ethnicities.

After reading the reviews and overall talk about this place, I was expecting an extremely hard door and a long wait. Surprisingly they let us in within 30 minutes and we were in a group of 5 girls. This was on a Friday. Beware though, they won’t let your boyfriend in, all the guys in our group didn’t get in for at least another hour. I’m not too sold on the whole racist part of the club, because I was the only white girl in my group and the bouncers didn’t blink twice. Once inside, I felt like I was in a Lady Gaga video. Very dark, very noir, with topless dancers everywhere — on stage, hanging from nets, in glass booths. Despite this, the place still maintained an artsy/sexy vibe and not a trashy one. Overall: –Music was a mix of house and current hip hop –Two dance floors, neither were very spacious –DONOT take any pictures, the security will come up to you and watch as you delete all of the pics –friendly crowd, some random groups let us have a couple drinks at their tables so we ended up only having to pay for the $ 20 parking –Was kind of hoping to see Lindsay Blowhan there, but I guess you can’t ask for everything

Hands down one of my favorite clubs in LA! I had my birthday here and everyone had such a great time! Can’t speak for any door/bouncer problems as I know someone who let’s me right in. The ambience and décor is amazing! Who doesn’t love the old fashioned porn film real wallpaper? The rustic ceiling lanterns are creative and attractive. However, the main prize is the«cage» in the middle of the dancefloor and let’s not forget about that net above the lounge. Both said attractions are home to the burlesque gogo dancers that, well, strip down to very minimul attire. I have seen tops off, bottoms off, etc… this club went for an Eyes Wide Shut feel and nailed it. The dancefloor is large and it spills out into the lounge/bar area. Not much of a fan of the VIP room, as its small and doesn’t have much going for it. What’s the point of going to Voyeur if you can’t be seen? The music is always great here and the staff are friendly. Never had any run-ins with la lohan or a paris. As stated prior, always a fun time to be had at this club. Definitely recommendable to anyone looking for a flashy good time(no pun intended.)

Cruised on in here on a random night because I heard there was a dj spinning house. At midnight there was absolutely no wait(I’m guessing bc there was no promoter mid– week) and absolutely no hassle. The dj was absolutely sick but the crowd reminded me of little college hipsters. It was a very strange scene. Guess that’s what you get when you party mid– week and there doesn’t appear to be a crazy door situation. I think I actually preferred the meh crowd and the mellow scene rather than a crazy door situation over the weekend bc honestly, absent the dj, I don’t think the club is one of those places I’d be dying to go to. Yes, there’s topless women in masks grinding above you on a net and behind you in a glass box, but I’m a girl. I have breasts. I’ve seen ‘em before. So that really didn’t do anything for me. And yes, they possess liquor. But the place is TINY. The dance floor, if you could call that tiny walkway a dance floor, was miniscule. The tables were shoved uncomfortably together. I swear I felt the entire place was smaller than my apartment. But the décor is lovely and on house night, there’s a good dj.

I DIDIT! I made it into the«lesbian bondage-themed nightclub» where the Republican National Committee famously spent almost $ 2000! Let’s have a toast to family values! Hallelujah! Instant star or two just for that. Anywho, the burning question is: is Voyeur worth going to otherwise? Since it markets itself as an «erotic» club, I’ll let you decide for yourself if any of the following features sound erotic to you: **Paying a $ 20 cover to a large and furry man in a well-tailored suit, who might’ve been an extra from The Sopranos, for the honor of paying the same amount for weak and watery drinks while inside. **A sterile interior that feels like a hospital basement. **Décor that’s supposed to evoke Stanley Kubrick’s «Eyes Wide Shut», but I think«Showgirls» is a more apt comparison. **Half-naked men and women touching themselves inappropriately while crawling on an elevated net. Think Cirque du Soleil, but pervier. **Half-naked men and women using ping-pong paddles to slap some balls around… yet not while playing ping-pong. If the thought of any of these makes your nipples tender, then Voyeur might be your kind of club! P. S. I see why the young conservatives like the place. You can’t get pregnant from a ping-pong paddle.

Sunday night bouncer: «Uh.you girls know it’s gay night. right?» Us: «Duh.that’s why we’re here!» Sometimes it’s a nice change of pace to go out and know that not one guy in there is interested in bothering you. Sure, it can be a little frustrating when said men are beautiful, chiseled and well-dressed. It’s like window shopping, knowing there’s no way in hell you’re going to be able to get anything. That in and of itself makes for some good fun! Voyeur is very sexy indeed: dark & mysterious with a cirque sort of feel. The space is smaller than I expected, but quality over quantity, I always say. I didn’t learn this until after we left, but there is a BACKROOM behind the main DJ area. We totally missed out on it, which is where my friend who guested me was spinning. The main dance area is pretty small and there is adequate standing room. The VIP seating areas are nice, and they didn’t shoo us off the seats, assuming that it wasn’t busy enough to warrant it. $ 10 cover if you’re not guested, cash only. The valet fee is $ 15(ouch, even on Sunday!) and it’s pretty tough finding street parking(even on a Sunday) in WeHo. The thing that stuck out the most about Voyeur were the performers scattered throughout the venue. They stayed in character and flirtatiously interacted with spectators. Men wearing nothing but black boxer briefs, shoes, and mask over their eyes gyrated to the pulsing bass on the bar, coyote ugly style except in super super sexy slow mo. They carry a cane and lightly touch the mesmerized crowd with it, some pretend to give it head. He’s even nice enough as to give us girls some attention. if even just for a fleeting minute.(Hey, a tip is a tip, right!) In a glass cage, a man & woman bump & grind. The windows have white paint on them that have since had rated R sayings scribed into them, such as «cock tease» and others I’ll leave to you to see with your own eyes! Overhead, there’s a guy in a white«he-string». He’s got a rope with him that he sinks down to the crowd below as though he’s fishing. He tickles peoples ears, some guys open their mouth pretending to eat the rope, and then he pulls the rope back up, wraps it around his man junk, and performs a man-junk puppet show. On the stage, a topless woman with wild firey hair ties a velvet rope from one end of the stair rail to the other and connects it to a hook on the wall. She then proceeds to slink and slither into some pretty impressive poses, using the taut rope to hold her body up. One of the dancer guys walks up and joins her, and they perform erotic poses together. It’s risqué but in a classy sort of way. You definitely don’t get the trashy strip joint vibe. This is sex appeal without trying to hard. It leaves something to the imagination. Needless to say, my heterosexual girlfriend and I left there and went home with blue ovaries. Oh, how the tables have turned. You naughty, naughty WeHo boys. Thanks for the hospitality. :) Joy B.
