The De Gaulle

HOLY [whispers] heck. This is an incredibly nice and luxurious space to hold a private event. Why are you not hosting your private event here, robots? You should! [throws a rack of business cards at you] And invite me.
There is valet if you head east on Washington and take a quick right in through the first gate just past the edge of that clothing store or whatever boutique façade. I don’t know what it typically costs for nomies but since I am beautimous it was free to me. I am regularly hesitant to valet due to the sacred Magic the Gathering mana land cards stowed in the glovebox.
But there were little options for street parking in the vicinity since I do not know this hood very well at all, save for the 5 Guys (the burger & fries joint, neither an orgy nor «manhood camping» charging crystals with the fellas) I visited a few weeks back. So valet it was. And all my pretties were still there in the glovebox when I picked up my car at the close of the evening; whether or not the valet rifled through them in an attempt to tap them is between him and Nicol Bolas.
De Gaulle is a self contained building on the left side of the lot if you are imaginatively standing with your back to Washington and facing the spread of the De Gaulle & the Hughes Hangar joint complex. HH is on the right side of the lot across the row of where the valet stand is.
In the parlance of your internets, HH is pleb tier and DG is god tier. It’s got that hard G in it so you can remember what the dealio is. Thank me later, fam.
De Gaulle is very clean, spacious, has numerous comfortable seating options, several tee vee sets, a large fully stocked bar, and overall just an upscale «lounge» sort of vibe that other things being equal, if you were a small business owner by the name of Upgrayedd (spelled thusly) in the pimp game this is where you would bring your hoes at for that double dose.
For other sorts of people and gentlesirs it is basically your «I’m going to need to get my hair did to come here» types of spots to blow up with the squad. Unless you are me, I did not get my hair did for this private event and I regretted it bitterly to the end. I only looked kind of cute so I went home alone to stargaze and chill with a pizza. If I had visited the Supercuts beforehand then I would have been able to take the HOV lane if you know what I mean.
And by this I mean pick up a hooker named Monena to utilize the HOV lane to get to the Dodgers game on time.
Drinks are on average about a sawbuck which is not out of line at all for a fancy lookin’ joint such as this. Mixed drinks of pretty much any sort you may fancy, wines, beers, what have yous. Their wine glasses are the fancy white lady kind with the very thin, very long stem. Not the Dr. Pepper can with wine poured into it that I am used to drinking red wine out of so my mobility and Italian emotive gesticulation were severely limited during the pendency of downing my semi-​fine wine. Frank Reynolds was a degenerate, but a smart man when it came to covertly drinking wine out of a soda can in the daytime hours.
The waitresses they have on staff for private events try their best to please and are quite friendly. It’s unclear whether they are HH waitresses that just get shuffled on to events at DG, or if these are specially bred waitresses hatched for one true purpose in life. However it works back there in the private room/​hatchery it seems to work for the biz. So we shouldn’t ask too many Qs if we possibly wouldn’t like the As we receive.
My only note for this place would be to put a sign out on Washington clearly stating valet only up in this bitch; and such and such a price for it. Because not every valet is going to find me beautimous and as much as I hate having to valet The Dragon the only thing I hate more is having to pay for the experience of someone else sliding into The Dragon and fiddlin’. I said something similar about my first wife.
It wouldn’t kill your bottom line to point out where free street parking is nearby as well. If it’s so unsavory with homeless men peeing on other homeless men masturbating within earshot of that free street parking option then the good people will circle the block quickly and bring their automocar back into the secluded and gated lot right quick to have you valet, and they won’t complain about whatever you charge at that point. u r welcome, just drop a check in the mail to me for this business consultation, brah.

I came here today for my birthday brunch. The place was surprisingly empty at 12pm. Parking was a breeze and got to pick our own table to sit. The waitress was very friendly. We got 2 of their $ 10 carafe mimosas (passion fruit and cucumber lemonade), very great deal and tasty! We started out with the truffle fries. Recommend that! We all loved them. I ordered the crab cake eggs Benedict. The eggs were perfectly poached and the crab cake was delicious!
I took off a star because the service did fall short towards the end of our meal.
We will definitely come back again.

Went for an event, very nice and posh inside. The drinks, well my drink tasted diluted… this one of those bars that fills your cup on their ice and charges you as if you bought half the bottle. Anyways, it’s right across from Hughes hangar, PLEASE DO NOT VALET YOUR CAR! I learned that the guy was not only smoking cigs in my car, but the fool also had the windows down to attempt to clear the smell. It was raining on top of that. So when I got in my car the door panels were soaking! Worst of all they didn’t even apologize as I cleaned the doors n seat! ***holes I want my $ 8 back!

Very pretty space. Waited 15 min. for any sort of recognition from any of the bartenders, gave up went elsewhere. The big bouncer is hot, I’d do ‘im.

Was looking forward to going out. Ended up going there on burlesque night. It wasn’t bad, but not what I was hoping. There people doing stripteases and we couldn’t see anything because there were so many people and there wasn’t anyplace to sit. Was I interested in eating something, but was unable to because of lack of service, not to mention tables to sit and eat and the only food I saw people eating were corndogs. I’ll be sure to call ahead and check what particular theme is scheduled for the night before going again. The atmosphere seemed great.

If you are in your 30’s and still like going out, you’ll like this place. The atmosphere is nice, a bit over the top as I felt like I was on the set of Moulin Rouge, but it’s a cool idea for a champagne, French feeling bar/​lounge. The crowd was a real mixture of people I hadn’t seen out in about in 10 years, and a super diverse mix of ethnic background, which was a welcoming sight for Washington. The music was a mix of French club music and house, which I liked. For a nice evening outside, the place is great for patio sitting. They also have areas for bottle service, if you are into that kind of thing. Friendly bartenders, valet parking and the usual scene. If I was 10 years younger, this would be my new spot, but a definite choice for some upcoming birthdays and girls nights out.

Went there for the opening last night & loved it! The decoration is borderline tacky with the red velvet & the lighting but they tried & A for effort to give it a Parisian vibe. The drinks menu was champagne infused cocktails which is very refreshing. Got a French kiss it was strong & tasty. They were playing progressive techno with French music mixed in so I highly enjoyed that. I don’t know if it’s going to last but most of the crowd was older & classier like 30’s and 40’s but there were still some 20 something’s which is nbd to me. And Hughes Hangar is practically attached to it so you can move over if you wanna dance.
