From the outside, the Golden Gopher looks like a dive - one where long-time alkies would be slumped over the bar with a strong whisky on the rocks. But, looks can be deceiving. Inside, the Golden Gopher is a luxurious lounge with dangling glass chandeliers, plush wraparound couches and gold-adorned gopher lamps. A relaxed and classy atmosphere attracts a diverse crowd ranging from USC frat boys to hipster artists to the business crowd. A smoking patio with a view of the skyline is inviting and old-fashioned video games (Ms. Pacman, Centipide and Asteroids) offer guests a break from drinking.

Possibly the most compelling culinary reason to visit Whittier, the suburb that gave us Richard Nixon, M.F.K. Fisher and conceptual artist Mark Kostabi, Golden Triangle may be the best place in California to taste Burmese food, a phantasmagoria of a cuisine that draws from the cooking of nearby India, China, Thailand and Laos - the country is in a pretty good neighborhood. The restaurant specializes in the garbanzo-flour-thickened catfish chowder called moh hin gha, the biryani-style rice dish called dun buk htaminh, and lap pad thoke, a salad made with pickled tea leaves that have the consistency of stewed collard greens and the caffeine kick of a double espresso, and also in a sour vegetable dish made with a special Burmese green that the owner grows in his backyard. Then there's the incredible ginger salad, biting shreds of the spice tossed with an almost-too-crunchy melange of coconut, fried garlic, fried yellow peas, peanuts and sesame seeds. If the world ever gave it a chance, ginger salad might have the universal appeal of spaghetti Bolognese. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.goodhurt.net In the past decade, Good Hurt has become West Los Angeles' longest-running live rock nightclub. Its fiery red interior creates an appropriately lurid mood for a wide range of music, from funk and indie rock to techno and reggae. The club's weekly Medicinal Mondays showcase features a "Rock & Pole" show in which beautiful dancers twist and contort themselves suggestively and athletically around a pole to the live accompaniment of the house band Big Lovin' Panda. Adding to the bar's sexy vibe, waitresses dress up in nurses' uniforms to serve special drinks like the Transfusion. Vintage posters of cultural icons like Marvin Gaye and Pam Grier adorn the club's red walls alongside mounted white first-aid kits, and a bright neon sign emblazoned with the word "Prescriptions" hangs prominently over the full bar to beckon patrons who need a shot of salvation. Street parking available. Ages 21 & over. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
You may not get "lucky" in the romantic sense at Good Luck Bar, but even if you exit alone, it's hard not to leave with a smile on your face. Good Luck has been around over a decade, and it is arguably one of the most beautiful bars in the area, rivaling any Chinese restaurant in town (and that includes Chinatown). Bathed in dim red light, the place is filled with gilded lanterns (old and new), dragon sculptures, Chinese art, covered with black-and-red flocked wallpaper. Even the ceiling is ornate, an eye-catching square design etched in gold and green. Even with so much to look at, Good Luck manages to seem neither tacky nor fancy. Perhaps it's the crowd that frequents the place that gives it its homey, chill vibe. Silver Lake, Los Feliz and Hollywood residents looking for a post-dinner or movie nightcap (the Vista Theatre's around the corner) make up the bulk of the crowd. With its gorgeous Asian ambiance, nicely packed jukebox, good selection of drinks and friendly servers, it's no ancient Chinese secret why this one's full every night of the week.

http://www.goodmicrobrew.com Wednesday is Mystery Beer Night at Good, where all microbrews, drafts and bottles are three dollars. Every other night of the week the bar offers a wide selection of light to dark lagers and ales - from brown ale, amber ale, Indian pale ale, to "extra special bitter". To soak up the alcohol: brown rice salad with feta, a handful of fried goodies, pot stickers and Armadillo eggs offered all day. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.thegorbalsla.com Top Chef winner Elan Hall has created a clean, industrial, effortlessly cool space inside the old Alexandria Hotel in which to showcase his critically acclaimed Scottish-Jewish fusion food offerings. (The place is named after the neighborhood in Glasgow where his parents grew up.) Most nights, the white-walled box of a room is filled with hip foodie types, but often, the atmosphere gets turned upside-down depending on what's going on in the building (The Mezz bar is upstairs) or downtown itself (good luck getting a table on Art Walk Thursday nights). Even if it is crowded, the front bar offers its own pleasures: chatty bartenders, a nice view of the room and Hall playing around in his open kitchen, and an array of eclectic drink options (try the Desperate Housewife). Occasional live music. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.gordonbiersch.com With a microbrewery on the premises and a kitchen full of specialties, you can't go wrong here. Start with a hummus and goat cheese salad - fire-roasted peppers, kalamata olives, dunkle-beer vinaigrette, served over warm flatbread ($9.95), or try the 14-oz. New York steak, served with beer-battered onion rings, garlic mashed potatoes and house steak sauce ($20.95). For dessert there's the warm apple bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream and caramel sauce ($5.95). Gordon Biersch specializes in German-style lagers, so taste the Marzen ($4.25 a pint), billed as "the original Oktoberfest beer." Lunch and dinner seven days. Full bar; takeout; catering; valet parking; reservations recommended on weekends. AE, MC, DC, DIS, V. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.grandstarjazzclub.com A family-owned business in Chinatown dating back to 1946, Grand Star hosts some wild dance-party happenings. The former Chinese restaurant's relaxed, almost-underground atmosphere works for just about any promotion that goes down here on weekends, from sweaty hip-hop ragers like "Boombox" to sexy disco soirees like "Full Frontal." Jazz bands and karaoke fill up the weeknight schedule. The miniature Saturday Night Fever-like light-up dance floor definitely enhances retro-themed events, while the alley location gives Grand Star a charm pretty much unmatched in club venues in Chinatown or anywhere. The nightclub is nestled in a picturesque Chinatown plaza on Broadway, just steps away from the old Hong Kong Cafe, among the brightly painted buildings that are clustered around a festive courtyard festooned with red Chinese hanging lanterns. The bar has a long, storied history and was once a favorite hangout for the legendary Mexican comedian Cantinflas and his friends. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.thegriffinlounge.com If Harry Potter was of age, this is where he would come for a post-Quidditch pint. Replete with Gothic revival chandeliers, stone fireplaces and tapestries bearing knights' coats of arms, this low-key, high-kitsch drinking hole gives Medieval Times a run for its money. Owned by the same folks who brought you the Laurel Tavern, the Black Boar and the Library Bar, this Atwater Village outpost features a covered smoking "room," a sturdy selection of beers (Old Speckled Hen, Lost Coast Downtown Brown and Stone IPA on tap) and a decent collection of bar snacks -- the sweet potato fries, especially, get a thumbs up. The weekend party crowd contrasts with the mellower midweek regulars, but the Griffin, dimly lit and always welcoming, is magical any night of the week.

Longtime Hollywood clubgoers who've grown sick of the usual velvet rope scene have been known to venture eastward. And when they do, they're usually swallowed up by Guatelinda, a multifaceted club space next to the Barnsdall Art Park. To say that Guatelinda is a throwback, you'd first have to figure out where the tinsel-fueled, string lights monstrosity came from -- or how it's stayed open so long. The truth is, beyond the routine $10 door charge is a wonderland of diverse dancers and cheaply made stiff drinks, all the better for a dim night of grinding to whatever reggaeton/alt-disco/electronic the rotating DJ happens to have on. The crowd spans the gamut from low key locals to wild-eyed club commuters from deep in the Valley, particularly at the recurring Club Called Rhonda parties, where underground DJ couture meets alleyway chic. All with mandatory Jell-O shots. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
