http://www.eaglerockbrewery.com From the outside, Eagle Rock Brewery, hidden on a drab side street in a mostly industrial stretch of Atwater Village, hardly qualifies as having ambience. It certainly isn't a bar. Yet the brewery's diminutive tasting room has, in the past year, become an indispensable neighborhood watering hole. The credit goes to owners Jeremy Raub, his father, Steve, and his wife, Ting Su, who, with tastings, special events and food trucks, have turned the brewery into something of a hot spot. They've done it in a way that is both calculated and totally organic. Sure, the quarters are cramped. Patrons jockey for position and eye each other just as they would in an actual bar. But mostly, the tasting room boasts the best facets of a neighborhood bar (warmth, charm, mellow clientele) without its most obnoxious elements (deafening volume, creepy dudes, terrible drinks). Also, Eagle Rock Brewery makes some really great beer. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.eaglela.com "LA's premier leather bar," The Eagle sees its share of big bears and bondage-geared big daddies, but possibly due to its Silver Lake locale, it's not the most intimidating of its ilk. It's actually a pretty amiable bar to imbibe in. That is, if you're comfortable with gay porn on the TV monitors, lube samples in the bathroom, cash-only drinks served in plastic cups and parties with names like "Meatrack." Less aggressive and poly-sexual parties will want to flock to the expansive outdoor patio, which provides a bit of an escape from the manly mayhem inside. Still, those landing at the Eagle should be prepared for overt boozing and cruising in a sweaty, testosterone fueled environment. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.eastsideluv.com The true definition of L.A.'s "Eastside" may be debatable, but this Boyle Heights fave's Easty cred sure isn't. Across the street from famed Mariachi Plaza (where ornately dressed musicians gather for gigs), Luv is a homage to Latino culture, with a sexy-classy feel. Chandeliers done like giant chain-link lowrider steering wheels, flocked walls, Mexican movie posters, a candle-covered altar/fireplace, and signs that read "Los Winos" above the men's room and "Las Chulas" above the ladies' are just some of the touches that make it unique. There's even a "lowered," bar serving beer and wine, some embellished with a saladito (died prune soaked in salt). Jazzy music, funky DJs and sultry burlesque dancers on weekends make this bar be-luved by people from all sides of town. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.ebisu-la.com How many izakaya are there in Los Angeles? How many grains of sand lie upon Zuma Beach? Ebisu, named after the nightlife-intensive Tokyo neighborhood, comes from the people behind the splendid noodle shop Daikokuya, which introduced Little Tokyo to the pork-rich tonkotsu style of ramen. Like Daikokuya, Ebisu, fitted into the space that used to house the local Mandarin Deli, is nostalgically themed — suburban postwar, is my guess, with big fish on the walls, leatherette booths and a scattering of exotica that would look at home on the jacket of a Martin Denny album. For some reason, I kept thinking of late-’60s Marina del Rey, although I’m sure the designer is riffing on some classic Asagaya joint that the regulars could reference in a second. Unlike the rest of the izakaya in town at the moment, Ebisu is both huge and easy to get into on a weekend night, possibly because its menu of traditional Japanese appetizers, noodle soups and teriyaki dinners hews a little too close to the Japanese food you could actually taste in Little Tokyo in the Summer of Love, and possibly because it is too slick to appeal to the fans of Haru Ulala next door.

http://www.eccohollywood.com Billed as Hollywood's first and only certified eco-friendly lounge, the intimate space (formally known as Tokio) offers energy-efficient LED lighting, power supplied by the LA Department of Water & Power's Green Power resources, recycled steel air pressure toilets and waterless urinals. It's surprisingly space-age looking for a spot that touts earthy alternatives, but the decor does go with the music (mostly techo, house and electro). Currently open weekends only with biggie DJs on the decks. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.attheecho.com The longtime Nayarit nightclub is a lively Echo of its old self, with indie, post-punk, funky soul, country, dance nights and even kids' music. Other events range from wine tastings to spoken-word readings. The Echo Park club is connected to a separate-admission bigger room downstairs, the Echoplex. Many indie-rock and punk bands have made the Echo their home over the years, including W.A.C.O., the reunited Germs, Tulsa Skull Swingers, Summer Darling and the Gears, as well as touring combos like the Dirtbombs, Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter, the Ettes and Southern Culture on the Skids. The Echo has a full bar, with an outdoor smoking patio. Monday nights are generally no cover. Age limit varies. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.attheecho.com The Echoplex is physically connected to its upstairs neighbor, the Echo, but it's so much larger and into its own thing that it has a separate back-alley entrance and a different street address. Reggae, hip-hop, funk, LGBT and other dance nights trade off with live concerts. Regular events include L.A.'s best reggae night, Dub Club, which often features legendary names straight out of Jamaica. The large stage, full sound system and dark lighting make the Echoplex an appropriate venue for big concerts, as well as spoken-word slams, beer and wine tastings, and even rollerskating. Musicians who've performed at the Echoplex include Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds, Heartless Bastards, Wire, Au Revoir Simone, Big Youth, Holly Beth Vincent, T.S.O.L., Puro Instinct, Ximena Sarinana, Dntel, the Sadies and the Adolescents. The Rolling Stones played a surprise show at at the Echoplex to start their 2013 North American tour. Full bar plus a smoking patio. Age limit varies. Street parking, with more parking available in a nearby metered public lot. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

http://www.edenhollywood.com Syndicate Hospitality have done it again with this swanky, nature-inspired spot in the space that used to house their popular Opera nightclub. The name references owner David Judaken's long-gone grotto, Garden of Eden, but gives it a more modern, arty twist. Bizarre yet beautiful hanging sculptures fall from the ceiling, as wood walls, earthy hues and lighting make it feel surprisingly warm and comfy for an upscale oasis. There's not a proper dance floor, but all the booths are equipped with table-like platforms made for toppling while tipsy. DJs play a mix of pop hits, electro and hip-hop for stylish, often famous crowd. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.edengardenbarandgrill.com Mediterranean food, hookahs and belly dancing are proffered in several elegant, airy, brick-walled rooms and a patio at this oasis in Pasadena. Plus, there's a full bar. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.edisondowntown.com You turn down a dark alley, slipping between two brick warehouses. You see a door, nothing special, just a black door. You open it and walk inside. You hear the faint squeaks and squawks of a '20s-era brass band. Take the staircase down a flight, and the jazzy horns get louder. At the bottom is a giant iron furnace, nearly the size of a small home. (The club is inside the Higgins Building, site of the first privately owned power plant in the country, and many of the fixtures survive.) A poolroom is just beyond the main bar, where you stand. You order a lavender bourbon, a special of the house. You have arrived at the Edison. Despite the deep, dark recess of the Edison's location below street level, it's cozy with oversize club chairs and swanky leather sofas dotting the room. Retro cocktails include a Charlie Chaplin, a boilermaker, even a fresh gimlet and two menu pages' worth of single-malt scotch. Thursdays feature live music; on Fridays and Saturdays, the tempo picks up with regular DJs on the decks. There's a dress code - no torn jeans or ratty tennis shoes; if you're going to play the part, you should look it too. It's a small price to pay to enter a time machine.

http://www.eladobedecapistrano.com Like many San Juan Capistrano watering holes, this one embraces local history. Located across the street from the home of venerable Orange County justice of the peace Richard Egan, El Adobe features a cozy room to get a cool drink. The interior has the feel of an authentic turn-of-the-century adobe, with its plaster walls and exposed wood-beam roof. The Adobe also pays homage to Southern California history by hanging a Mexican Tricolor next to the Stars and Stripes. The ornate wood bar offers a full complement of wines, liquors and beers, the latter served in large schooners. The favorite Mexican restaurant of el Presidente Richard Nixon. Stop by the presidential booth, and order the President's Choice (guacamole, chile relleno, chicken enchilada, beef taco, Spanish rice and refried beans).

El Baron in Culver City is a pupuseria with a night club problem. See, the steaming rounds of freshly fried masa, pushed to the limit inside with pork skins, cheese, loroco and more, are among the better versions you'll find west of the 101. But just behind the simple tables and Tupperware containers full of salsa is a full-on homemade nightclub. The dance floor isn't much bigger than a living room and the cheeky lasers, strobes and neon beams will have you believing you stumbled into a quinceañera dance party at someone's house. And you're not far off, considering the upbeat music selection with eggaeton influences and the chatty uncles who like to hang at the edge of the scene.

http://www.elcaseriola.com At El Caserio, one of the few Ecuadoran kitchens in Los Angeles, you spoon the incendiary chile sauce aji over puffy white-cheese empanadas, the mashed-potato pancakes called llapingachos, or fresh-corn humitas, over fried green plantains or an already spicy goat stew. If you are of a mind to, you can also use the aji to spice up the penne alla vodka, spaghetti with pesto or any of the other Italian pastas that make up a huge chunk of the menu here. To wash it down, there’s Chianti, Ecuadoran beer or the delicious, peculiar juice of the Andean mountain blackberry mora, which tastes like new wine. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

http://www.elcholo.com First served up by Rosa Bírquez in 1923 in LA's original El Cholo Cafe (her grandson Ron Salisbury owns the restaurant group these days), the place's green corn tamales are a Southern California dining institution. On bites two and three, you'll find oozing sharp Cheddar cheese and Ortega chiles, which combined compete against the sweet corn with a snappy alternative.

http://www.elcidla.com Circa 1900, legendary filmmaker D.W. Griffith built what is currently known as Silver Lake restaurant and club El Cid. Years later, he used the venue to screen his highly controversial Birth of a Nation. Rumor has it moviegoers were charged two bucks to see the flick, an outrageous price in those days, so you can imagine what those same audiences would think today if they could walk down El Cid's uneven stairs and order a $30 margarita. Assuming their heads didn't explode upon viewing the drink menu, they'd discover that the cost of the beverage comes from the inclusion of Don Julio 1942 (because it can't be the Grand Marnier, lime juice or sweet-and-sour). Then again, if the people of the early 1900s could sample tequila from the 1940s, they'd be sipping away while daydreaming about flying cars and hover boards, because that's what humans do when we fantasize about the future. This historic Spanish-style restaurant is perched elegantly on the western edge of Silver Lake, with airy patios and a garden. Entertainment includes flamenco, dinner theater, comedy and live music.
