In-the-flesh trumpeters and bongo drummers accompany the hip-hop and rap soundtrack at this Bali-inspired club, where Hollywood's hot-and-bothered crowd ogles go-go dancers wearing panties and ripped T-shirts. It's the type of place you'd expect to see Angelina Jolie do an Indonesian fertility dance for Brad Pitt.

David Judaken designed Mood as a temple representing "the conflict of religion and debauchery." He stocked the 4,800-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. The weekends are hot with various promoters on Friday and Saturday nights, and bootylicious babes shake their freak-a-leaky assets on Sundays at Icon Entertainment's rap and R&B bash. What would Shiva say? —Alexandra Le Tellier
