From The Owners:
A premiere lounge and nightlife destination is debuting in Santa Monica with the opening of SENATOR JONES. This 5,000+ sq ft venue located at 2020 Wilshire Blvd, the will act as a musical oasis that will play host to world class DJ’s and entertainment. The lounge experience will also be presented in the early evening with fine craft cocktails and specialty curated menus. Late night With SENATOR JONES will show off the state-of- the-art lighting, VIP sections, bottle service, sound and entertainment while transforming into Santa Monica’s only nightclub destination, rivaling its Hollywood competitors. Owner, Farouk Gandhi, and managing partner Dylan Underhill, are no strangers to acting as major players in the evolution of nightlife. Gandhi, with a background in hospitality and nightlife promotions launched SENATOR JONES’ predecessor VLounge in 2007, which helped redefine the landscape of nightlife in LA’s West Side. Gandhi also became a partner in the incomparably unique Opaque “Dining in the Dark” restaurant experience (which has since expanded to cities nationwide and will continue to be an essential partner in the SENATOR JONES space). Farouk joined forces with Underhill in 2014, whose background included management and partnership with Choice Hospitality (Hollywood’s Club Nacional, Holly’s East and Holly’s West) as well as 5 years with Playhouse Hollywood, during which time boasted the #4 nightclub in the world status. The duo each found success in their individual paths, their combination and SENATOR JONES hopes to shine a spotlight on the successes their partnership can produce. The new venue whose name pays homage to the founder of the very city whose nightlife scene the duo will once again redefine, SENATOR JONES promises to impress. After a complete overhaul of the prior space, the redefined venue is full of elements that elevate the modern nightlife experience, again, featuring the only dance floor in Santa Monica (thanks to permits that were grandfathered in). SENATOR JONES has also adopted the city’s motto of “Happy People, Happy Life” providing an unpretentious, intimate, upscale and welcoming vibe in both its design and staff. Gandhi and Underhill hope to influence the evening and nightlife scene with a completely immersive experience where everyone is part of the party – that is SENATOR JONES.
