Micky's, a notorious West Hollywood gay nightclub that almost burned to the ground in the summer of 2007, is putting the finishing touch on its new, bigger self.
Billing itself as "L.A.'s longest continually running gay bar," Micky's is set to reopen in a few weeks. The bar first opened on West Hollywood's raucous Santa Monica Boulevard -- lined with gay establishments -- 20 years ago.
Before a mysterious fire gutted the club a year and a half ago, the second floor was closed to patrons and housed offices. Now a VIP bar will occupy the establishment's second floor. A press release touts that the entire new club will feature "seductive skin tones and decadent materials, like ostrich leather and caesarstone" and that "glam lighting" will highlight the experience of revelers.
Known for its go-go boys and Thursday night "Cocktails With the Stars" event that featured porn stars doling out gifts and industry tidbits, the revamped nightclub now faces an unstable economy and a more diverse West Hollywood. (Neal Broverman, Advocate.com)
