Zouk was ground zero for Los Angeles nightlife last weekend.
The new nightclub, located at 643 N. La Cienega Blvd. in the space formerly occupied by Nightingale, toasted its long awaited arrival with a three-night opening weekend celebration that kicked off Thursday with notable names like Marc Anthony and Zouk insiders. Zouk Los Angeles is a joint venture between Sam Nazarian’s sbe and Hui Lim’s Singaporean nightlife entity Zouk Group. Both were in the building on Thursday for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony and preview party that featured light bites and live performances like a traditional drum ritual.
The action continued Friday with a headlining performance by DJ Politik and guests like influencer and entrepreneur David Dobrik. Metro Boomin took the reins for Saturday night by jumping behind the decks for a 40-minute hip hop performance in front of a packed crowd. Those spotted on the scene during the weekend included the Chainsmokers, Selling Sunset star and real estate mogul Jason Oppenheim, Marshmello, Paul Oakenfold, Vice, Steelo Brim, Ross Naess, nightlife guru Dean May and more.
Zouk Group maintains a nightclub location in Las Vegas where it opened a popular spot at Resorts World in 2021. DJs like Tiësto, Zedd, Deadmau5, DJ Snake, RL Grime and Kaskade have all performed there. Meanwhile, sbe has long had a footprint in the hospitality space in Los Angeles with a portfolio that includes Katsuya, Hyde, MXO by Wes Avila, Casa Dani, Citizens, Kumi Japanese Restaurant and Bar, S Bar, and others.
