If you are doing Gaslamp- go here! Its not fairly easy to get in to but still fun and a little upscale. Its done in Alice in Wonderland theme and you have to find the "hidden door". Its a cool spot with good club music and just a fun scene.
Its a nice medium between the upscale Fluxx and the super casual Tipsy Crow or Whiskey Girl.
