The Blind Dragon

Ever entered a club through a garage, a shipping container, a kitchen then a walk-in fridge? The new trend in La La Land is to start your clubbing experience before you get in the venue, and The Blind Dragon is one such place embracing it.

This karaoke venue, unsurprisingly given the name, has a main lounge decked out like a Twenties opium den, and is owned by the same people who run celebrity hotspot The Nice Guy.

Crimson sofas, black lacquer, hanging lanterns and an extensive sake menu create a sensory explosion. And if you fancy doing your best Mariah Carey impression, you can enter one of the three private karaoke rooms, which are also designed to look like shipping containers, and feature rather fancy leopard print carpets.
