Featured Bars and Clubs


http://www.angelsandkings.com The décor at Angels & Kings - the L.A. sister slammer to Pete Wentz, Jonathan Daniel and Bob McLynn's NYC bar - is like an homage to bad behavior. Wentz, who joined forces with the Dolce Group (Les Deux, Geisha House) for this location, is said to have picked out the artistic focal point, an antelope head with machine-gun antlers above the bar. Other rebellious touches include wall-to-wall chalkboard interiors in the bathroom (graffiti is encouraged with chalk provided inside a cowbell nailed next to the door) and a mock mug-shot-lineup room where anyone can channel their inner Lindsay Lohan. For more rockin' inspiration, a giant collage print featuring famous-musician mug shots (busted pics of Sid Vicious, Jimi Hendrix and Axl Rose to name a few) hangs above the DJ booth, where the sounds tend toward the loud and riff-heavy.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Anthill-Pub-Grille/8562876692 Some schools discourage drinking; others ban it. And then there's UC Irvine, whose Anthill Pub in the Student Center bans drinking crappy beer. Its no-swill policy means there is no hipster PBR or watery Bud anything. The ever-changing list of local and distant American craft beers, from Lagunitas to Dogfish Head, goes on sale every afternoon: $1 off single servings (tulip glasses or pints, depending on the beer) and $3 off pitchers. A full menu of sandwiches, including a very credible bratwurst, and fried snacks such as sweet potato fries are available at the adjacent counter. Had a place like this existed at every school, Natty Light would no longer exist. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.arealrestaurant.com This Santa Monica bar and restaurant has a comfortably groovy lounge and a well-stocked bar that's literally stacked to the ceiling with wine bottles. The bar also features craft cocktails (White Wedding, Moscow Mule, Corpse Reviver), "zero-proof" cocktails (Marco Polo, Young Buck), unusual beers on tap (Duvel Single, Unibroue Blanche de Chambly, Bootleggers Mint Chocolate) and even "beers on ice" (Allagash White, Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat). The adjoining restaurant is elegantly appointed with white decor and serves such specialties as Moroccan stew, sauteed scallops, vegan spaghetti, mushroom socca, wood-fired pizzas and Carlsbad mussels, with an emphasis on locally grown produce. A large outdoor patio gives a good view of the neighborhood's vibrant street life. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.arenanightclub.com The more visible (from Santa Monica Boulevard) sister club to the historic Circus nightclub in the back lot, Arena has a fun, tacky-cool style with lots of space-agey neon, mirrors and TV monitors, plus a whimsically decorated over-21 lounge upstairs and outdoor adjacent patio (with amazing Mexican food on regular club nights). The focus is always the main room, though, where DJs, go-go dancers and a laser show incite and entice the floor hordes below. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
Ashley's Bar and Grill is the type of neighborhood establishment that attracts an amalgam of customers. The tattooed artist might share the bar with an entrepreneur while the blue-collar workers shoot a game of pool, and no one blinks an eye. The regulars and bartenders are welcoming, as are the cozy booths that line the walls. Cash is king at Ashley's, but if you forget, get a 20 from the ATM in the corner of the bar and stretch it into a meal and two drinks, or even a couple of rounds on the jukebox.

http://www.aulddubliner.com From its coffee-dark depths to its thick-as-Miracle-Whip head of foam, a glass of Guinness isn't refreshment, it's nourishment, and this a prime spot to enjoy a tasty pint. The full bar is outfitted with gorgeous wood trim, kitschy bookshelves and many of the cocktail waitresses hail from the emerald isle as evidenced by their charming brogues. The front of the room features a large opening and a smoking patio affording views of the downtown Long Beach foot traffic and convention center. Be sure to swing by on Sunday afternoons for live music featuring traditional Irish jam sessions. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.visitcatalinaisland.com/avalon/even_casino.php Located "26 miles across the sea," as the Four Preps used to croon, the Casino Ballroom looms like a Moorish Art Deco castle over Catalina's picturesque Avalon Bay. Surrounded by water on three of its sides, the imposing white building, topped by a red-tiled roof, rises to the equivalent of 12 stories. The ground floor houses a history museum and the Avalon Theatre, which, when it opened in 1929, was one of the first movie palaces designed for sound. The large theater has its original Page pipe organ and continues to show films daily. Ornate glass and wrought-iron deco lamps and giant, almost-psychedelic sea-life-themed murals adorn the inside of the theater and the front of the building. Up on the second level lies the refurbished ballroom, which used to host big-band big names like Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Kay Kyser, as well as a flock of Tinseltown celebrities. There may no longer be gambling in the Casino Ballroom, but the venue (reportedly the largest circular ballroom in the world) frequently presents jazz, swing, rockabilly and blues concerts. Even when no one's scheduled to perform, this architectural marvel is still worth a visit. An hour-long afternoon tour occurs daily. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.avalonhollywood.com The historic Hollywood music space has seen several transformations over the years, but no matter the name (El Capitan, the Palace, etc.). the Art Deco splendor of the original 1920s establishment and dance-friendly layout have remained. New owners and a new moniker brought an even more DJ-driven sensibility to the two-level building in 2002, and the Vine Street landmark's top-notch sound system, stage production and expansive layout make it a favorite for live shows and special celeb events, as well weekly dance parties.

Sometimes the mark of a top-notch swanky bar is its ability to graciously cater to the general population. At the AVIA Lounge, located in the beautifully modern luxury Hyatt the Pike hotel, imbibers will get the same treatment whether they're high-rolling businessmen in bow ties, or a couple of hipsters popping in for a pint after an afternoon at the Pike. Everybody is treated equally as long as their money is green. The gorgeous marble floors of the hotel's lobby give way to the visual warmth of wood-plank floors juxtaposed with plush, blue throw rugs. Patrons belly up to the small bar top, which is illuminated underneath by deep blue lights. Squat ,white-leather couches sit next to windows draped with gauzy, 1960s-style curtains billowing languidly in the ocean breeze. The full bar is flanked by several wooden cubbies containing wines from a sizable list. Sorry, no beers on tap, but the small bottled selection features some tasty numbers, including the potent Chimay Ale as well as the delightful nuttiness of Lost Coast Brewery's Downtown Brown.
