$4,950 to Join LA's Most Exclusive New Bar
laist.com — Good news: it's right across the street from Staples Center, so you can drink after you boo Kobe. Also they hate celebutantes, brown-nosers, cell phones, and Red Bull. Bad news: they want your money, your credit card number and your photo - now.

- guymal, on 11/14/2007, -2/+32Does that include free WiFi?
- Newportbeachguy, on 11/10/2007, -7/+3A trud digg nerd
- vango, on 11/10/2007, -5/+3actually i love that question - but since they say no blackberrys i think they probably frown upon other devices too
- 1jaxstate1, on 11/10/2007, -8/+1Does it include a free reach around is more like it!
- Matteos, on 11/10/2007, -0/+1Duh... What do you think "concierge service" means, let alone "greenhouse".
- NeoCortex, on 11/10/2007, -3/+2But would the WiFi really be considered free if you're paying $4950 in the first place?
- derforseti, on 11/14/2007, -2/+46It doesn't take much to make money off the rich; just make them feel like they're special, in a god's gift to humanity sort of way.
- solid12345, on 11/10/2007, -0/+0Doesn't take much to make poor people feel like they are rich either. A few peanuts and a movie on an air flight and they think they are high living!
- strafefire, on 11/14/2007, -2/+30AWESOME. *****. MARKETING!
Seriously, freaking genius...They found a niche, and are exploiting the hell out of it... - PATSCRU, on 11/14/2007, -2/+29Weird, i only have to pay $2 for PBR on tap at my favorite bar in LA, and they keep out the aging gold-diggers for free!
- rjacobs, on 11/10/2007, -2/+6As a connoisseur of LA bars and fan of PBR on tap, what and where is this bar of which you speak?
- hansonc, on 11/10/2007, -3/+13you pay for PBR? I'd have to be paid to drink that swill.
- dpknc84, on 11/11/2007, -1/+7There's a college bar down the road from me that has 10 cent PBR nights. People literally buy them by the tray full.
- pennvneff, on 11/10/2007, -0/+2$2 for PBR? You're getting ***** paying that much for some hamster piss like PBR.
- orwellianstyles, on 11/14/2007, -9/+5ugh. this epitomizes the very worst parts of LA...
- OMGWTFROFLMAOx2, on 11/14/2007, -1/+27This club puts the ass in class.
- Dysarthria, on 11/14/2007, -4/+25The dirty little secret is that the 5 large will be paid by douchebags who want to see celebrities, while the celebs will get their membership for free.
- gn0stik, on 11/10/2007, -3/+5Not allowed. RTFA.
- chucali, on 11/14/2007, -1/+1810. "No indoor smoking, but please enjoy a smoke in our greenhouse"
Don't mind if I do!- ZenMojo, on 11/10/2007, -0/+21Can I smoke what they grow in the greenhouse...?
- ipaiba, on 11/14/2007, -1/+6I understand exclusivity in that it attracts people who want to feel exclusive and special, but... and this may come from not understanding the LA nightclub scene... I don't understand banning Red Bull. Is it because so many "celebutants" (Firefox doesn't like that word either) are seen drinking it?
Hmm. I understand paying to belong to a health club (gym) or even a social club of some sort, but this really does sound like a "bar", only with a very high cover charge. And why the need for a photograph? - sundancekid503, on 11/14/2007, -1/+14Just put it on my tab
- redrock34, on 11/14/2007, -1/+13I bet you could find rich people to sell dog ***** to as long as median income individuals couldn't afford it.
- stevets, on 11/14/2007, -5/+1Lame
- ZenMojo, on 11/14/2007, -1/+5Glad to see I'm not the only one tired of those redbull and vodka bitch asses buzzing and crashing like amateurs.
- Dokument, on 11/14/2007, -1/+9Man walks into a bar........ and loses 50 thousand dollars...
- bacchus1313, on 11/14/2007, -2/+19Or I could jam a rusty nail up my urethra
- bonds, on 11/10/2007, -2/+2Could do that regardless, it's great.
- acbeck58, on 11/14/2007, -7/+3"Does that include free Wi-Fi?" ha. nice.
- sdcarter, on 11/14/2007, -2/+4#5 Celebutantes, don't darken our doorway
I think I love this place.- ddawggin, on 11/10/2007, -1/+1Call me stupid, but what is a celebutante?
- fenixconnektion, on 11/10/2007, -1/+2A celebutante is a debutante who is a celebrity. A debutante is a young woman from a wealthy family who socially mingles with like-members of their socioeconomic background. e.g. Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Kim Stewart, etc.
- ddawggin, on 11/10/2007, -1/+1Call me stupid, but what is a celebutante?
- thedarkrabbit, on 11/14/2007, -1/+3Hell, I'd almost pay that just for rule #1 and #11.... Supposing I were filthy stinking rich and had nothing better to do with my money...
- biseor, on 11/14/2007, -0/+9The name of the bar is Kobe: Kiss the Tip
- mandarin, on 11/14/2007, -2/+5Heh whats the point going to a snotty bar?
Ive see better personalities around Denny's... - iamnotrich, on 11/14/2007, -1/+15I love the first comment...
You left off the last portion of the application:
Which of the following describes your character best. (please select one only)
1. Douchebag
2. Uber-Douchebag
3. Hyper-Douchebag- asdfuiop, on 11/10/2007, -4/+14) Larry Ellison
- Cockslap, on 11/14/2007, -7/+1burried for being a gay, laker loving, piss hole.
- torched, on 11/14/2007, -1/+3Hah my friend did that with his nightclub, the plus side is that he's ranking in big bucks and all the hot chicks flock there. The downside is all the douchebags who shell out $6,000 a year to "see and be seen".
- norsurfit, on 11/10/2007, -1/+1Dugg, although I hesitated to give this shameless marketing stunt any more free publicity. But it is funny...
- nexmachina, on 11/10/2007, -1/+0Make it exclusive and you can sell water for 20 bucks a bottle. Just like the Isle of Capri.
- truman48, on 11/14/2007, -0/+5As long as I can thow-up any where I want to, I will pay it.
- obelisky, on 11/14/2007, -0/+8or you can just get drunk with your friends for a lot less then go harass those idiots as they leave that 'bar'... just sayin...
- TheMachine1, on 11/10/2007, -1/+0Sounds like a good support group for people with narcissistic personality disorder.
- KamikazeeDriver, on 11/14/2007, -0/+5Funny, when I clicked the link. An ad appeared saying, "Struggling to Afford a Home?" Considering the article, I thought, "No, struggling to afford a bar!"

- dupswapdrop, on 11/14/2007, -1/+7I'll let you drink in my garage for $1000.00 a year, you can even smoke in it if you want to.
- sq2shooter, on 11/14/2007, -1/+2It's a douche bar.
- pennvneff, on 11/14/2007, -0/+2It's not a bar, but a club and by la standards this club isn't very exclusive if they're handing out application forms. If you really want to join an exclusive club in downtown la, try joining the Jonathan Club or the California Club.
- cboj, on 11/10/2007, -0/+1My father has been a Johnathan Club member for as long as I remember and still has a private room there. I went to a lot of functions there, I got served my first beer there (I was 14 or 15) I always thought it was a bunch of people I didn't care to associate with.(well except for Taco the bartender)
Last time I was there I had jeans on, I was only allowed in the garage lobby. I'll take my favorite biker bar (Angelo's in Ogden UT) any day over that place

- arcoarco, on 11/10/2007, -1/+0There is another way to be a member. The bar is in the building where i used to work and people who own business in the building also get membership. That being said, membership is only for the guy whose name is on the lease... Not the poor slobs who just work there....
- Mossman85, on 11/14/2007, -3/+2What?!! No Red Bull??!! ***** that place.
- Ihavethespeed, on 11/11/2007, -0/+3Red Bull sucks.
- 04TL, on 11/11/2007, -2/+1"...and 10% of fees goes to Charity"
nice...put me down for two, in case i want seconds... - solid12345, on 11/14/2007, -2/+2Its still cheaper and easier than getting a boob job and hoping to bag a rich guy at a normal club.
- URnotheonly1, on 11/14/2007, -2/+1That's not bad if the place is cool
