Pacific Electric, A Much-Welcomed Addition To L.A. Clubland

or its grand opening on March 19, Pacific Electric, a brand-spanking-new venue owned and operated by tvg Hospitality opened its steel-toned doors to music industry, friends, family and fans in a industrial neighborhood located in central Los Angeles. The well-appointed 25,000-square-foot multi-faceted space, six years in the making, is something of an emporium and a welcome addition to L.A. clubland, which on this night featured local rock stars, Dawes, who performed a phenomenal set before a sold-out crowd filling the 750-cap two-tiered performance space..

Exploring the “campus,” as one staffer put it, slowly reveals a wondrous space of earthly delights. This includes an outdoor courtyard with a garden, seating and a delicious Indian food courtesy of Badmaash. There’s a circular bar with an art deco motif and inventive mixology, a more-recently opened and separate bar, Mitsi, on the second floor with an outdoor balcony, as well as large and well thought-out dressing rooms, complete with washer & dryer, piano, showers and more. The entire space’s total unofficial capacity could comfortably fit an estimated 1,500 or more.
