The Edison presents a marriage of refined industrial architecture and art deco chic - a world class lounge that retains the mechanical artifacts from its history as downtown LA's first private power plant. The grand staircase spectacularly descends into the depths of the historic ... more

Located in the basement of the nearly century-old Higgins Building (the first building in LA to generate its own electric power), The Edison is part trendy nightclub, part shrine to turn-of-the-century American ingenuity. Though Downtown seems to get a new bar for every loft-converting tenant, The Edison is trying to raise the bar by lowering it. Like a decked-out, well-stocked underground bunker, ... more

According to project partners Marc Smith (Golden Gopher) and Andrew Meieran (Mercury Liquors), renovation efforts keep the 1910 Higgins Building's original structure intact, and that ... more

6/28 My boyfriend and I decided to visit the Edison for the first time. The bouncer was so friendly and down to earth, he let us off easy since we had no reservations to get in and it being our first time there. We got in after waiting in line for no more than 15 min. This place is beautiful with the way they decorated this place! It's amazing to look at. The crowd has a little of everything, classy ... more

Threw a private party in the game room and had the greatest experience. Our planner Zack was amazing and accomodating! The inside staff was wonderful. The server really took care of my group with speed and great service, putting up with several highly intoxicated people. As well as Matthew who helped me out several times during the night with some of my needs. I would go here again and definetly ... more

This past Wednesday, I checked out the Edison’s new weekly event, Incandescence Wednesdays. Vaudeville circus/dance troupe Lucent Dossier was performing from the rafters, the stage and even from the floor among the audience. I usually don’t do nightclubs, where I’m sure this sorta thing happens a lot, so to see a spectacle like this at [...]
