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.

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.
