This past Friday, a co-worker/friend had her birthday party up in LA, at a club called Prey.

Let’s just say, I’m all for sticking to Orange County to party. While I haven’t gone out too too much up in LA, *damn* it was expensive! $20 to valet, $20 each to get in, and then of course drinks. This is probably standard fare, but hardly seems worth it. Once you got through the a*hole bouncers, the inside was cool (deep reds and a small dance floor) yet hardly crowded (and we got in around 11:15 or so). After all the work it took to get in, at least make it seem like it was worth the effort!

There were three bars inside, and the drinks were decent, priced between $8-10. If you choose, you can get a table, and do the whole “bottle service” thang – $325 for a bottle of Bacardi. Overall, while I love to dance and stuff, not really my scene.

So, does anyone have any good suggestions for places to go in OC? I’ve heard of many a club and bar, but I’d love to hear you input…
