David Judaken, who owns the Moroccan-themed Hollywood club Garden of Eden, designed Mood as a temple representing "the conflict of religion and debauchery." He stocked the 6,500-square-foot spot with exotic treasures from South Indonesia (like the ancient temple bells suspended from the ceiling) and commissioned artisans in Bali to create fixtures like the front door, carved from slabs of teak and stone, and the Shivas that sit on each side of the front bar. The main focus in the smoking lounge is the wall of candles—a convenient feature for those who forgot to bring a light. Sexy socialite Allison Melnick's A-list parties take over Wednesdays (a collaborative effort with Josh Richman and Hartwell); Velvet Crossing promotes Top-40 parties on Fridays. Then comes the weekend: Michael Sutton brings his infamous celeb-studded guest list here on Saturday nights, and bootylicious babes shake their freak-a-leaky assets on Sundays at Icon Entertainment's rap and R&B bash.
