4 of 5 stars. This is easily one of the nicest looking bars I've been to in all of Southern California which makes up for the lack of dance floor. Started going to the Edison a while back when it first opened.…

4 of 5 stars. Great place to hit up if you're in downtown LA and looking for a chill bar. The line isn't too bad as long as you get there early enough. The bar is underground and the stairs are killer! I think I…
