Get ready for the sexiest night in town where you’ll be seduced by impeccable sounds from celebrated DJs and distinctive live bands, sultry burlesque dancers, powerful signature drinks, and impressive décor all under one amazing roof. Beginning Friday, August 1st, 2008 the Downtown La Renaissance heats up with the Grand Opening of Friday’S at Bordello.
Formerly known as Little Pedro’s, Bordello flirts with the notorious past of its infamous location as the oldest bar and brothel in Downtown Los Angeles by reflecting its legendary status as a theater of the unusual and provocative. Situated in Downtown’s Artist district, characterized to be much like New York’s SoHo district, Bordello combines the city’s old glamour with the likes of today’s high-profile talent.
Start your weekend off right with an unforgettable happy hour beginning at 4 PM and lasting until 7 PM. Tickle your palette with specialty drinks, along with your favorite scrumptious treats. On Friday, August 1st, roar in delight with the happy hour’s dollar menu, where you can even indulge in $1 shots!
When you’re ready for an exquisite night, get amped up as LA’s local favorite Herick Hell spins his special musical selections from 9 PM-2 AM.
Herick Hell joined the nightlife arena in 1985 and quickly positioned himself as a trendsetter in the dance music scene. As a founding member of Go Ventures (which continues to provide the largest electronic dance festivals, boasting well over 40,000 people at each event), Herick was one of the first DJ's to spearhead the electronic dance movement or "rave" scene in the late 80's, early 90's. He was the exclusive Los Angeles DJ to serve as a resident at the famed Bananas nightclub in Ensenada during the peak of their success, with legendary 12-hour sets that rocked party-goers from all over the world.
His fame grew to such great heights that he sold out world-renowned Hollywood Paladium, Shrine Auditorium and countless other venues. In the late 1990's he switched his focus from large-scale events to the 21 & over club scene. He helped create the soundtrack for the most influential club of the L.A. "Fashionista" era, The Mission, now known as Vertigo's. Herick continues to play to capacity crowds on a weekly basis and still finds the time to travel to the biggest and best events throughout Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and the bay area, including special features on the Style Network and The Peter Project.
