Adam said: "They have such a great track record and their other clubs are such family affairs. Always relaxed, but still glamorous and they have such fun people. I think this one will be the same but just adding some British charm. I'm excited about it."

"We have an incredible team in John, David, Brian and Markus," Terzian told me as we stood and watched more arrive. A quick hug to Adam Lambert and then it's back talking business. "You can't bottle what we do, and each and every time is different. There's no formula. Yes, these are concept clubs, but that's the only thread that ties them together. Each is unique and will be a different experience for the club goer. But the result will be universal. If you love SHOREbar, if you love Bootsy, you're going to love Henry's," he said.

"That's the thing," Lambert interjects. "It's a family feel with a bit of glamour thrown in." Lambert celebrated his last birthday at Bootsy Bellows, complete with a lap dance from Arquette. He's here, preparing for his performance at the iHeart Radio festival with Queen in Las Vegas in September, a group he's been rumored to be taking over since his days on Idol.

"Singing with the guys is such an honor. The songs are so iconic, the energy on stage is unbelievable. I look forward to every and any time I get to work with them," he said, his delight showing through. (Oh, and he's much taller than I expected or I'm shrinking).

Naturally I have to ask the journalism 101 question, is he going to front the group as a more regular event?

"That's really up to the guys and to schedules and life, but we are having a ball working together now, so we'll leave the future up to the future," he smiled slyly. Since I interview politicians, I know a non-answer when I get one, but I had to ask!

I so wanted to challenge to a singing competition. But it's probably for the best that didn't happen.

 "The whole theme came about from British friends of Terzian and Molinari. In addition to those plush booths, note custom equestrian accents, trophies, slick wood paneling, and various trinkets. It's one part pub, one part Jaguar (circa 1960s), and more than a few dashes of British mod. There's a 3-D projection screen as well as DJ booth for prime viewing, in addition to an upstairs suite for friends and family."

On Tap Aug. 8



New British-themed club Hooray Henry's opens; with bottle service come tea cakes 





Hooray Henry's -- the new British-themed club from John Terzian's h.wood group, which also operates SHOREbar in Santa Monica and Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood -- soft-opened Wednesday night with a decadent dance party that attracted an impenetrable cluster of party people to an ironclad door.
Those who made the cut and wiggled past the massive doormen entered a mid-sized room filled with honey-colored wood walls, crown molding, gleaming brass accents and a wealth of mirrors. The center of the room is dominated by a wood parquet dance floor set beneath a massive custom-built 3-D wall programmed with outlandish psychedelic images of water, fire and, most noticeably, the female anatomy.
"That's kind of intense!" one partygoer shouted at her date over the thump and thrum of dance music. "That nipple is getting closer."
And indeed, a disembodied breast appeared to soar 10 feet out of the wall, as if trying to join the dance party. It's a nifty effect and in perfect keeping with the overall theme of the club, which we'll call London Manor Gone Wild.
"The whole point is it's this posh, elegant estate -- the parents are gone and the kids have taken over," said Terzian, who was dressed in a fitted black suit with a dapper bow tie and presided over the evening's events like the seasoned host that he is.
His partners in Hooray Henry's include Brian Toll, Markus Molinari and David Arquette, who helped shape the puppet-show-on-acid vibe of Bootsy Bellows. 
As with Bootsy Bellows, Hooray Henry's is fueled by a ribald sense of theatricality. Lithe models roam the the room and dance floor dressed like royalty, British guards and characters from "A Clockwork Orange." Refreshingly, the characters are both men and women, and on Wednesday night the figure dancing on a platform next to the DJ booth was male.
"It's most important for me to capture a moment in time with a new place," said Terzian, adding that now that he has opened multiple venues he is keenly aware of how key it is to maintain a devoted customer base that frequents all of h.wood's places. "They are a unique and sophisticated crowd and they have a lot of options."
Terzian runs with a fast and accomplished group of fashionistas, artists and celebrities, and is increasingly design-focused when it comes to building out his venues. To make Hooray Henry's come alive, he hired John Sofio of BUILT Inc., who also designed SHOREbar.
Sofio was present at the soft opening, as were Adam Lambert, David Arquette, Balthazar Getty, James Van Der Beek and Laura Carmichael.
Guests in tiny dresses, outlandish hats, too-tight pants and towering heels pressed up to the bar (which features a hand-painted wall of figures and friends that have helped Terzian throughout his career) to order mixed drinks, including four signature cocktails, all sporting Anglophile names like the Oxford Lad (gin, lemon, cucumber, honey syrup) and the East End (tequila, lime, pineapple, habanero syrup, chile-salt rim).
High rollers sat in rounded banquettes beside the dance floor, partaking of  bottle service that came in giant, ice-filled brass buckets helmed by molded silver horses' heads on tables piled with tiny tea cakes and lemon-lime garnish.
Throughout the night, Terzian watched closely to make sure the proceedings ran smoothly (a courtesy he could not possibly extend to the door, where a crush of hopefuls remained waiting even after the club closed for the night).
"At the end of the day I'm entertaining people," he said. "I'm helping them let loose."




Hooray Henry's, a new club from the Bootsy Bellows' crew, to open next month 

June 17, 2013 |By Jessica Gelt
A rendering of Hooray Henry's, the new London-inspired nightclub… (The h.wood group )
Watch out, a British invasion is coming to L.A. nightlife. It's taking the form of a new club called Hooray Henry's, which is a British term referring to a poncy, upper-class twit. (For reference, YouTube Monty Python's "Twit Olympics.)
However, the name is the only tongue-in-cheek thing about the new club, which strives for a classic, polished feel inspired by stately London hotels and townhouses.
Hooray Henry's aims to be open by the end of July. It was created by nightlife connoisseurs the h.wood group -- the same team behind SHOREbar in Santa Monica and the decadent Bootsy Bellows nightclub in West Hollywood.
As with the latter, David Arquette is also a partner in Hooray Henry's.Hopefully, he'll bring his trademark off-the-wall brand of performance art to this new spot as well.
John Terzian, who is the most visible face of the h.wood group, which also includes partners Brian Toll and Markus Molinari, said that inspiration for the club came from the circle of friends -- mostly musicians and artists, most of whom are from London -- he is hanging out with these days.
"We went to London and visited a bunch of old-school hotels and buildings," Terzian said, adding that the new club is his most ambitious to date when it comes to design. "There's old molding, and lots of brass. It's very clean but it has a sense of play mixed in with artwork and lots of wood accents."
Terzian said he likes to keep his group of friends close -- he's tight with an insular, artsy crowd of up-and-coming and established artists, models, actors and musicians -- and often uses work by them to decorate his clubs. That, or antiques from his grandmother's home. As a result, his design works tend to be personal and charming.
In addition to the large, communal main room with a DJ booth and dance floor, there will be an intimate back room for friends and family that is meant to mimic a classy London hotel suite. (All of h.wood's clubs have a room like this.)
"I'm really careful to never refer to them as VIP rooms," Terzian said. "Because they're not. They're for our friends and our family. Because whatever success we've had, it's because of them."
Hooray Henry's (in the space formerly known as Guys & Dolls), 8713 Beverly Blvd., West Hollywood. Opening in late July (pending final permit approval).



The team behind famed Hollywood hotspot Bootsy Bellows are launching a new London inspired club.

John Terzian, Brian Toll, and Markus Molinari of the h.wood.group - whose other ventures are a hit with celebrities including Katy Perry, Robert Pattinson, Zac Effron, Miley Cyrus - are set to open Hooray Henry's on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles on August 7.

23 July 2013 
John explained Henry's is "intended to evoke the elegance and class of old London hotels and apartment buildings, mixed with the playful British flare," while Markus said, "We have a great group of British friends, we really wanted a place for them to hang out."

Adding to the British theme, the club's design includes brass detailing, custom equestrian lamps, and tartan carpeting while above the bar a large custom caricature painting hangs depicting friends of the club frolicking in an English countryside estate.

It also features an intimate room for friends and family in the style of a London hotel suite.


Designer John Sofio of BUILT, who worked on the decor, explained: "The detailing of the booths are inspired by the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. The English-Mod rosewood wall speaks to a time of cool style, while the deep blue automotive paint used on the highly detailed wall and ceiling panels employs a vintage Jaguar car's palate."
