Club Tempo — Restaurant in Los Angeles

While not my usual cup of tea, I was here yesterday evening to meet up with members from a suit and tie Facebook men's group. As I arrived a little after 8 pm on a Saturday night, there was no cover charge but was told later by someone that they paid $10 cash to enter. The entire establishment is cash only but there is an ATM machine on each floor. There are also multiple restrooms on both floors as well. Unlike other reviewers, I found the bathrooms to be clean but this was just after they opened. The stairway to the second floor does not open until 9 pm and the upstairs patio taco place a little after that. This second floor patio has plenty of seating but on a chilly February evening there were no heat lamps present. There were, though, ash trays on the tables so I assume smoking was permitted. The little patio tacos that the nice older lady sells are $2 each; I enjoyed four of them - yum! :-) I cannot speak to the quality of their spirits as I didn't purchase any. What staff and patrons I encountered here were pleasant including the bouncer at the door and the security guard who patted me down at the entrance to check for weapons. There is a coat check station that is $3 to utilize. There are dance floors and and bar tenders on each level playing different music so if you don't like one, go check out the other. The second floor is larger and more modern with more seating but if you encounter long restroom lines, try the downstairs with less wait. This gay club's clientele are Spanish speaking cowboys. By the time I departed at 11 pm, it was crowded everywhere. I probably won't return here but only because it's not to my personal tastes for I don't frequent loud dance clubs nor imbibe alcohol . I have no complaints about my experience here but if you want to hold a conversation, your least noisy option is the patio furthest from the exits or the parking lot. This business appears to be doing a good job at serving its intended clientele. Hope...

I came to this place last night (Saturday June 10, 2023), I had a gogo friend tell me to come visit him here cus he was dancing last night and during his breaks we just chill and talk. I had explained to him that I don't come to this place. It's just not my scene....I live near the West Hollywood area and I normally stick to Roccos, The Chapel, Heart and Trunks because they play more diverse music not just Mexican banda or Latin Mexican music. However I tried giving it a chance tonight and off the bat be AWARE! The 15$ charge is not worth it, this place needs a change in show coordination! The shows go on for too long...less of the same old drag queens and more alternative music. I didn't even see my friend because the drag queen show went on for a long time and I even asked a bartender who was attending the people behind the scenes if he could alert my friend I was outside their dressing room, the bartender couldnt even communicate well cus he was drunk a security guard inside the club while working was also drunk smh This is why i don't go here its very disorganized and definitely not a 15$...

I have visited this cowboy-themed place a few times already and I have always enjoyed the cumbia, merengue, and salsa music. And that’s the main reason I visit this place. However, last week the DJ played more reggaeton/rap music, for the younger crowds. Additionally, the drag shows were ok. In the past, the drag shows have been much more entertaining and fun. The dance floor was also brighter. It used to be darker and more intimate for dancing, just like nightclub dance floors are. Somehow, I felt disconnected with Tempos and bit disappointed. Hopefully, the owners will not change the ambiance that it used to be. I miss dancing to good fun music right after...
