Tokio Lounge to be Transformed into Ecco, 'Hollywood's First Eco-Friendly Lounge'

Tokio Lounge will be Transformed into EccoThe Cahuenga corridor/crawl night spot formerly known as Tokio Lounge is undergoing a complete rennovation and being transformed into Ecco. Using natural and environmentally friendly materials and products, Ecco is calling itself "Hollywood's first eco-friendly lounge."

Expected to open in July, the new lounge will feature an organic menu, eco-friendly cement (waste materials added to pack cement), an LED lighting system, waterless urinals and air pressure toilets. Power for the club will be supplied by the LA DWP's Green Power resources.

"Entourage" star Adrian Grenier will be there to document the whole reconstruction. Ecco will be featured on Grenier's new show, Alter-Eco which will air on Discovery Channel's new network, Planet Green.

Owned by longtime promoter Danny B, David Stratten, Sean Muniz and Rob Roedel, Ecco will also offer free valet to those of you hitting the town in your hybrids.

Other eco-friendly nightclubs across the country include San Francisco's Temple SF and New York's Greenhouse.

I liked Tokio and wish it wasn't going away. However, this should be cool. Can people who took Metro or rode a bike get a discount too?

 

No. Thank YOu LORD. Tokio is finally outta here.

 

Tokio was a nice spot... I have inside info, however that Ecco will be awesome. I've haerd good things about this Planet Green show too. :)

 

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The only advantage to Tokio was that you could smoke inside on occasion. Somehow I think with this new "green" policy, that won't be allowed. Dammit.
