so being spoiled by the nightclub mecca LA has to offer i wasn't expecting  this club to be much of anything but man was i wrong... and in a good way.\n\npulling up to the place the collective feel was 'where the eff are we?'  looked seedy and run-down.. no bright lights, no weho gateway, no rainbow flags, incredibly dapper area.. i was almost expecting to find truckers and strippers inside, not the surprisingly good collection of music that greeted us.\n\nidk what everyone else is saying about the cover charges but we didnt pay anything.  that paired with the $2 happy hour well drinks kept us happy.  the music was pretty good in 8 1/2.. very top 40 and some good dance mixes.  more like a very well executed house party than a night club. me likey!\n\npiranha, however, was mehhh.. we went in and danced for a little but 20min went by and i swear they were only playing one bass-pumped song.  it got to be annoying/overwhelming so we danced the night away in 8 1/2 mostly.  \n\nbottom line.. if you're looking for a good time in a low-key, non-pretentious place, come here.  you won't be disappointed!
