Formerly a staple of the Hard Rock Las Vegas, Beacher’s Madhouse is the creation of Jeff Beacher who hosts a weekly underground cabaret scene now located in LA inside the basement of the Hollywood Roosevelt. Part midget burlesque and part vampy Vaudeville, the four weekly performances are accessed through a secret passageway lined in black and white photography from the early 20th Century and down a mirrored hallway inside the main theater. The intimate stage features 20 or so banquettes of premium seating for no more than 150-guests at a time only accessed with advance bottle service reservations. A mix of Moulin Rouge style with a touch of rock and roll leather and LA decadence sets the stage for nightly performance that vary between quirkily humorous to laughably offensive with a playful twist.

Last Word

VIPs and celebrities should inquire about the underground parking lot that offers direct access to the club and avoid the notoriously slow valet and mobs of club guests in route to the other Roosevelt bars.
