With an elevator-powered dance floor, crystal-clear Turbosound system and more mirror balls than Xanadu, this Gongti hip-hop club's taste for extravagance makes for a sublime clubbing experience. Club LA attracts a young crowd with high-volume commercial hip-hop and R&B, a reasonably priced drink menu and hi-tech rotating VIP booths.

Though the place get its crowd,and drinks are fine, the place is picking up. Still not hot.
Decent music and affordable drinks. Biggest drawback is that it takes 10+ minutes to get change back from the bar. Are they hoping people will get impatient and just leave? No idea but it's a major pain in the ass. Happened 3 times now over the past few weeks.
My boyfriend, who is a foreigner, was beat up by a group of LA Club staff (one who was apparently the manager) last night to the point of near unconsciousness and they refused to return to him his jacket from the coat room. He was alone at the time and is now seriously injured and as you can imagine the police are not really dealing with the matter. I am seriously disturbed by this, so do be careful...
ITS HOT...
I didn't realize how much I missed my old school (by "old school" I mean 2004) Chinese clubbing days until I went here last night. Until about midnight I didn't see any other laowais in the club, which I thought was fun - so fun, I guess, that I felt compelled to order pitchers of Chivas and iced tea like the Chinese couple next to me. The music was good for the most part, or at least went well with the Chivas and tea, but my friends and I all felt that the dance floor was really tiny for such a big place. Same goes for the stage you can dance on (one of my favorite things to do in Chinese clubs) - it's so small that it's kind of unsafe to go up there. I thought the service was pretty good but wished they restocked toilet paper in the bathrooms. So, we danced by the bar, enjoyed our bottle service and had a generally great time.

Hip-Hop Upgrade
With faux-exposed-brick walls, a rotating elevator-powered dance floor and more mirror balls than Xanadu, Club LA is the closest thing Beijing has to an ’80s dance video set. Its extravagance and retro-future look make for a sublime clubbing experience, brought to near perfection by the crystal clear Turbosound system. In addition to the high-tech makeover, Club LA represents an upgrade on the Beijing clubbing experience in a significant way: clubbers are bathed in disco lights, VJ art and lasers rather than projections of hip-hop videos. Club LA attracts a young, mostly local crowd with its DJs’ well crafted mix of high-volume commercial hip-hop and R&B, but this Gongti newcomer represents a significant step up for the strip and has real potential to pull in foreigners looking for a quality clubbing experience or even just solid bargains. Currently, all mixed drinks are two-for-one, and bottles of Mumm Champagne are just ¥580—the perfect deal for those wanting to luxuriate in one of the club’s rotating, robotic VIP booths.
