In partnership with Interscope Records, the h.wood Group’s John Terzian and Brian Toll just opened an unique 60’s inspired music lounge called ‘The Peppermint Club’, taking over the old ‘HENRY’S’ space in West Hollywood. The unique collab with Interscope Records is meant to usher in a new way of thinking about live music venues, where guests will experience a premier lounge with lush textures and enjoy live music surrounded by the comfort of an executive’s living room.
With his passion for the arts and creating hospitality spaces, Terzian went into attentive detail in development for the creative, concept and design of The Peppermint Club. It will features state of the art D & B Audtiotechnik loudspeaker sound system by sound designer and engineer, Demetrius Moore in collaboration with Eighth Day Sound, famed for working with names such as Drake, Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Madonna, for Peppermint’s live music and playback listening parties.
At The Peppermint Club, guests are lured in to experience the comfort of a record executive’s private listening room, surrounded by soft, lush materials, luxury furniture, and high end finishes. The cozy 2,000 square foot space is layered with forms, shapes, and textures that fill the room and exude an air of exclusivity. Custom colors including Peppermint Plum burgundy, Peppermint Blueberry blue, and Peppermint Sky blue give the space pops of color, juxtaposed with the dark elegant shades.
The cork ceiling and vertically layered dug fir finishes- harvested from a 1956 building on the Sunset Strip- are reminiscent of a classic sound studio and serve to complement the acoustic excellence of the space. The bar, banquettes, and seating all serve as a kind of home-style furniture in their design and shape, further bringing you into a familiar setting. The stage itself feels like a living room and serves as a lounge seating area, completely immersed and integrated with the rest of the venue. Behind the stage, the ‘Virginia Black Green Room, (aka the VIP room), is available for artists and guests, achieving an even more extreme degree of privacy.
The h.wood Group’s Food & Beverage Specialist, Adam Koral, curates a signature mixology program with specialty cocktails, such as The Billboard, made with Virginia Black whiskey, muddled strawberry, honey, lemon juice, and soda, along with other libations paying ode to the music industry’s legendary live venues, complete with a light ‘Snacks’ menu, offering comforting panini sandwiches and finger foods. Guests will also enjoy lounge style bottle service in clever seating arrangements, while being entertained by live resident artists and special guest performances.
The venue is guest list only from 7pm to 2am, open daily Wednesdays and Sundays 9pm – 2am.
