Inside LA's Most Exclusive Bar's Application
()
Adding a little thrill to the evening, last night 213 Inc's president Cedd Moses and Seven Grand GM Aidan Demarest passed out a short stack of application packets to interested scotch-tasters at Seven Grand. The gentleman introduced the hush-hush new lounge, The Doheny as an exclusive club for the downtown crowd, with added benefits of concierge service from Preferred Group.
How tight is secrecy about the Doheny? Recently Citysearch described it thusly:, "Downtown club king Cedd Moses' new lounge is so exclusive he won't even reveal the address." Although neither Moses or Demarest mentioned the exact address, the cost of membership was finally announced, as were the hilarious House Rules, and how much you should be earning if you wanna be taken seriously.
All of that and more from the application after the jump.

The Doheny is poised to be downtown LA's most exclusive, new, luxury bar for those who want to have a fancy drink and a cigar after a Laker game or a night at the Nokia. Anyone can woo their clients or would-be clients with skybox seats, but where do you go afterwards to close the deal? If you're lucky, The Doheny.
Moses and Demarest said something about their possibly being only 200 members, but that number seems pretty low, as did the rates for membership. $4,950? That's it? Shouldn't memberships hurt a little when you have to sign the check?

OK putting our picture next to our credit card number - that will hurt. You got us.
And nice way to diss people who *only* make $119k.
Actually, we sorta like that. And the idea of a "greenhouse", but this is the first time we can recall ever seeing Red Bull dissed as if it was Tara Reid. Interesting.

Benefits? Other than a place to stroll to after booing Kobe, how about "Reciprocal usage at other Doheny club locations slated for Las Vegas and a second location in Los Angeles."
Second LA location? Hedging on the Lakers already? Yikes.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
