The “Michael Des Barres and Free Love” show heated up the summer night, July 27th at the trendy new club, “Aqua” located in Beverly Hills. Aqua is cleverly decorated with sophistication, elegance and special touches such as; living room furniture, exotic fish, and a large secluded room to accommodate overflows on dinner reservations. This includes the nice waitress, Pauline who always remembers your name. Aqua serves Euro-Asian food that comes in small portions. The food and drink prices are right in line for the neighborhood that is within walking distance from the famous Backstage Café.
