Nightlife: Falcon

I keep on thinking to myself that I’m really a horrid subject to actually write this blog. While I love getting out and exploring new places, the fact of the matter is that I don’t have much of a life in LA. I just moved here six months ago and I really only have one LA friend. I go out and meet a lot of people, but I find that few people stick here. It’s hard to meet good people in LA. But enough of my whining.

When I do go out, being the big homo that I am, I usually stick to gay clubs or gay nights at bars. So I don’t find that reviewing all of weho particularly makes sense mainly due to the fact that most of weho doesn’t read. (haha) Let alone blogs about LA Culture. And the whole I’d be talking to 10% of you.

But I do have one place that I’ve been going to now for a few months that I just love: Falcon.

From LA.com:

Falcon is like the best living room ever: There are soft leather couches, white shag carpets, touches of glossy dark wood and an entire wall that opens up to a large sunken patio with fireplaces. Like so many other Hollywood hotspots, the scene is more dinner-friendly early in the evening. Around 11pm, when the restaurant stops serving dinner and the DJ starts spinning, the crowds thicken and the vibe gets rather lusty. Club nights like Tuesday’s gay night, Beige, and promoter Mundial’s Brazilian Thursday parties bring hordes of pretty young things. But eating at Falcon isn’t just a way to skip the line to get in. Standouts include the lobster chopped salad—with poached tail and claw meat, corn shaved from the cob and homemade buttermilk dressing (tastes like summer!)—and the filet mignon with potato gratin and a wild mushroom ragu. Small plates like Maryland crab cakes with grilled Asian pear satisfy those feeling nosh-y. —Lesley Balla

I always go on Tuesday nights for Beige. It’s always crowded and it’s a nice crowd. It’s not so much your typical weho guys but more of a mix of successful 20 somethings and the occasional gay celeb. I often see funny man Bruce Vilanch there and Randy Harrison has dropped by.

The drinks and bartenders are great. The music isn’t bad although I think it’s a bit too loud sometimes for good conversation. There’s a small dance floor and DJ booth on one side and they do offer table service. And of course they are also a restaurant, a pretty good one in fact, but I would recommend getting their early if you want to eat.

There’s also a beautiful sunken courtyard in front that lets you dine under the stars.

From LA.com: Tip: Falcon is yet another place that deems itself cool enough to not have a sign. It’s right across from the Saharan Motel, whose kitschy sign is visible miles away.

And also, John Corbett, that guy from Sex and the City often plays his acoustic guitar here on Mondays. He’s an investor.
