"What It Is: Replacing the old Beso space on Hollywood Blvd., MainRo opened in August 2022, making it not just the newest clubstaurant on this guide, but one of the newest places to dance and get weird in the city. There isn’t a theme to MainRo, per se, unless you count over-the-top, unmitigated fun as a theme—which you should. Verdict: A night here is like hanging out on the set of The Voice, if The Voice were filmed inside a spaceship rocketing towards unknown galaxies. It’s complete chaos from the moment you walk in, and yet the place makes you feel like you're at the center of a party. You’ll see Vegas-style showgirls, aerial acts, and other performers coming down from the ceiling belting out Adele. Servers will dance on tables to ABBA and Cher hits, and you’ll eat overpriced sushi rolls and random finger food like wagyu-stuffed gyoza that kind of taste like Big Macs. The food isn’t great, but it’s not so bad that it distracts from the pandemonium, which is why you’re here anyway. " - brant cox
