Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce Hollywood
By Tim Verbeek FOR LA2DAY.COM 25 Mar 2007

Like a diamond in the rough, one occasionally stumbles upon a gem in the urban concrete jungle we call Los Angeles. Located in Hollywood, Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce offers you a glimpse into the 1920’s speakeasy culture.
For those new to Forty Deuce, this small sexy seductive ‘back-alley’ hotspot, offers excellent live rock music alternating with DJ’s on the ones 'n' twos. All amidst beautiful women teasing the senses with their scintillating dance performances, enjoyed by both female and male patrons.
Each night has its own theme. We visited on a Wednesday, known as “Ivan Kane’s Royal Jelly”. Where twice nightly the entire bar is cleared for the dazzling entertaining, well choreographed performances by the Ivan Kane’s Sexy Dancers. Even though state law prohibits full nudity, the performances will seduce your fantasy to get lost in the Forty Deuce experience. After the performances, inspired ladies of the audience are given the opportunity to have a chance at the dance to seduce their fellow audience. To those brave female souls, all we can say is…”respect”.
Now we’ve roamed this place before, but we’re here to tell you that once again we were taken by the class, level of service, ambiance, attention to detail in the interior design and most importantly the sheer excellence of the evening long entertainment. This joint most definitely offers you the perfect getaway from a tumultuous year! It’s also no surprise Ivan Kane is known as the Guru Of Nightlife. This Moulin Rouge like experience surely lives up to the statement as it seems to improve perpetually! Make no mistake, Hollywood’s prime have been hanging out here and enjoying the show! Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt, Mick Jagger, Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz and Sting are just a few to name!
Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce is definitely in our books and is here to stay! Our compliments go out to all that contribute to this sparkling and refreshing Hollywood phenomenon!
Now…to finish this off in pure 1920’s style (at least we think so)…”Wear your glad rags, put on the Ritz and go check this juice joint! You’ll be surrounded by beautiful dames with gorgeous gams…a tip to the gents, leave the handcuff at home! Just relax on giggle water, keep refilling that dead soldier, just don’t get ossified cuz you don’t wanna get pinched! Bring enough jack to impress any jane, just don’t hit on no mole cuz it may get you bumped!!”…ah, you see…Forty Deuce inspires even us to act and feel a tad bit 1920’s gangster!
