GUYS & DOLLS OPENING PARTY: A PLACE NOT TO BE MISSED

I had a great time last night at the opening party for Guys & Dolls, the newly renovated hot spot on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. Owner Michael Sutton has transformed the place into a super sleek and luxurious venue complete with blue striped walls, extremely high leather banquettes, and to top it all off, a gorgeous crystal chandelier in the center of the room that must be blinding once the light hits it. Drinks are served as either shots, martini style, or cocktail style, with the chalkboard menu changing daily. After my initial glass of bubbly, I indulged in the “Robertson Boulevard” cocktail, a fruity mix of pineapple juice, orange juice, and Bacardi Rum, served in one of those large plastic tumblers you would normally reserve for iced tea. It is nice to get your money’s worth!

As more party goers filtered in, DJ AM threw down and turned up the heat in the room with his fast paced, crowd pleasing turntable style. The guests, who were extremely mixed from 20 something hipsters to Frank Sinatra look alikes, sang along and danced on top of the towering banquettes. Milling about the crowd was a sport coat clad Matthew Perry doing laps of the room, relatively new Mom and Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio looking stunning in a strapless black top, and a cocktail sipping ex-Miss California USA pageant co-director Shanna Moakler was hanging by the front banquette grooving to DJ AM’s tunes. This place is definitely special and not your typical L.A. drinking spot, as the energy of the room transports me back to my bar days in Manhattan-land of good vibes and a cool mix of people.

The joint is sure to explode after this Sunday’s line up of all star events, beginning with a party presented by Fame Route, with the master rock piano performance of Eric Lewis (ELEW) who has played for President Barack Obama and “Vanity Fair’s” Oscars Party just to name a few. Following that shindig, a rocking, celebrity infused MTV Movie Awards After Party that will carry late into the night. Both of these killer fetes will be produced by special events and marketing powerhouse, A-List Communications. You know where to find Red Carpet Roxy come Sunday……….on top of one of those banquettes enjoying my cocktail!
