New Bordello Shirt by Cathouse86

What Riki Rachtman said of Bordello "Of course I loved the legacy of the Cathouse but Bordello was where we all went to escape. I kept Bordello out of the media so it maintained that underground feel. I have to be honest it was a little more raunchy than Cathouse. There was just a lot going on....everywhere.

In 1989 Riki Rachtman opened his 2nd club in West Hollywood, BORDELLO. This is what the Los Angeles Times said about Bordello:

Inside, depending on the week, you may find singing drag queens and tattoo artists. Posters and flyers ask you to “arrive open-minded.” The deejays spin just about everything alternative or hard core, a wide selection ranging from Alice in Chains to AC/DC to ABBA. Funk and ‘70s disco, with their danceability and nostalgia factors, apparently appeal to most; the speed rock draws out the air guitarists and psycho dancers. Earplugs are strongly suggested. There’s certainly a rockerish quality about Bordello with its dagger-through-the-heart logo, long hair on just about everyone, the heavy metal hardware and garters worn by several female patrons. Completing this rock ‘n’ roll fantasy: The female-to-male ratio is 3-to-1. The video vixens sport long tendrils, cleavage-exposing bustiers and platforms or thigh-high boots. The dudes, meanwhile, are very much Dudes: Plenty of rocker types with big hair and tiny tushes. The crowd, like the music, is friendly.
