Trip

Trip

Perched on the edge of Santa Monica, Trip is indeed a trip. From the outside, it looks like an everyday neighborhood bar, but the club is actually one of the Westside's leading hot spots, with nightly no-cover live music, comedy and burlesque.
The Redwood Bar & Grill

The Redwood Bar & Grill

A longtime haunt for politicians and journalists, this downtown bar hosts an endless parade of punks and roots rockers on its small, low stage, set against a festively nautical backdrop of fishing nets and mermaid paintings.
The Satellite

The Satellite

Once known as Spaceland and, before that, Pan, this Silver Lake bar continues to host before-they're-famous indie-rock bands alongside the occasional anti-comedian and film screening. Mondays are usually no cover.

  • M Bar

    M Bar

    1253 Vine St. Los Angeles, CA 90038
    323-856-0036

    http://www.mbaronline.com/mbaronline/Home.html More performance space than a bar, M Bar is all about cabaret-style entertainment, hosting everything from burlesque nights to film screenings. Situated in a mini-mall on Fountain and Vine, it's easy to miss M Bar thanks to its unremarkable exterior. But step inside and prepare to be overwhelmed by the womblike décor, all plush red velvet, crimson leather booths and glowing candles on the tables. Arrive early to score a booth, and be prepared for a cover (usually $10 and up; performing artists receive all the cover) and a $10 food minimum, although the venue's owners often will let drinks count toward that. M Bar has been trying of late to rebrand itself as a supper club, and the dinner menu skews Italian, featuring a wide range of pastas and pizzas. Bottled beers (around $7) are an economical option compared with well drinks. This isn't a walk-around-and-chat kind of joint -- rather, patrons are expected to recline in their booths and soak up the entertainment over a meal. If you're lucky, someone might strike up a tune on the baby grand. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • Maeve

    Maeve's Residuals

    11042 Ventura Blvd. Studio City, CA 91604
    818-761-8301

    http://www.maevesresiduals.com As reflected by its moniker, this friendly neighborhood Irish bar is known to attract thespian types (the Studio City joint has a long-standing policy of comping its patrons a drink if they show their near-worthless residual-check stubs for a buck or under). Still, amid the actors there's quite a notable rocker contingent that hangs here too. Black-leather jackets and tattoos are common, maybe even beating out the commercial crowd and jerseyed sports buffs (many of whom play on Maeve's softball team). The mix makes for a lively, homey feel that's heightened by the houselike décor: There's a living-room area with couches and plants on one side, a long bar in the center of the room, and an elevated brick platform facing it. Movie-theater chairs, game controllers (used for the Buzztime Trivia play-along TV games) and WiFi are here for those who like extended bar stays. Orange-and-green Irish pennants decorate the bar, and a T-shirt near the bar declares, "I'm not drunk ... I'm un-sober!" Free popcorn during games keeps crowds here even longer, as do the six TV screens (including one with a 120-inch screen) and two dart boards. There's karaoke every Sunday and "Coreyoke" (live-band karaoke) every Thursday. Maeve's Residuals is hidden in a nondescript Studio City mini-mall, but, once you're inside, the vibe is warm and welcoming. Happy hour runs daily from 12 to 7 p.m. and continues all day and night on Mondays, with domestic bottled beers at $3 and imported bottled beers at $3.50. The charming bartender Kate insists that the $5 Bloody Mary she concocts on Saturdays and Sundays is "the best Bloody Mary ever." See for yourself; she may be right!

  • Magic Castle Hotel

    Magic Castle Hotel

    7001 Franklin Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90028
    323-851-3314

    http://www.magiccastle.com Dinner reservations are required while spending a night at the invitation-only Magic Castle. You can easily spend five hours here, watching various magic acts, perusing the mysterious hallways, ogling photos of well-known and odd-ball magicians hanging on the walls. The dinner menu isn't huge, but includes vegetarian, fish and meat options such as lobster, pasta, and filet mignon. Make sure to leave your camera at home: no food paps allowed.

  • Magnolia

    Magnolia

    6266 1/2 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028
    323-467-0660

    http://www.magnoliahollywood.com Magnolia is the very model of a useful restaurant, open after the clubs close but prepared to make you eggs Benedict for brunch the next day, suitable both for a first date and an impromptu burger after a movie at the ArcLight, with an outdoor dining room suited to long conversations and an indoor one so loud that conversation is moot. The wine list is short and pleasant. The menu of big salads, hearty pastas, hummus with pita, and pan-seared halibut is probably the sort of thing you could assemble yourself out of ingredients bought from Trader Joe’s, but the kitchen does a pretty good job — and the point is to be out, with music, cocktails and your friends.

  • Mahe

    Mahe

    1400 Pacific Coast Highway Seal Beach, CA 90740
    562-431-3022

    http://www.eatatmahe.com Mahé offers a delicious meeting of sushi and meat as God and Stewart Anderson, in their mercy, intended. Besides the raw stuff, the house special is the filet mignon stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon. Kill you? Sure. But it tastes damn good. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • Mai Tai Bar

    Mai Tai Bar

    97 Aquarium Way Long Beach, CA 90802
    562-435-1200

    http://www.maitaibar.com The Mai Tai Bar is known for its relaxed atmosphere, tasty appetizers and gorgeous view of Rainbow Harbor. The open-air patio overlooks the water and offers the perfect environment in which to groove to the sound of island jams and excellent live reggae sets. The colorful cocktails are tasty and exotic, but lean toward the weaker end of the alcohol spectrum, so if you're looking for something a bit stronger, stick to beers and shots. If you're handling out-of-towners, this is a great place to have them kick back with a cool mai tai and soak up a brilliant SoCal sunset over the waterfront.

    http://www.makailounge.com An Asian fusion restaurant with a swanky bar and sidewalk patio overlooking Santa Monica's beach, MaKai offers a fish-intensive menu of raw sushi rolls, salmon carpaccio, miso glazed cod and Chilean sea bass. Chef Ryan Baily (formerly of Spago, Sona and Koi) blends classical French technique with a health-conscious Asian influence. MaKai is a nightclub on weekends, so they have a big selection of wine, beer, sake and cocktails. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

    Malo

    4326 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90029
    323-664-1011

    http://www.malorestaurant.com Okay, right off the bat: Malo is not malo. It’s a decent, stylish Mexican restaurant that inhabits the former Cobalt Cantina in Silver Lake, and the menu is a taut, well-devised little list of small, shareable items. The food has the hearty heft and flavor of good, home-cooked Mexican food. And in keeping with today’s small-dishes, share-everything, anti-starch, Atkins-friendly ethos, entrees come unaccompanied; beans, rice, guacamole and sauteed squash are offered as side dishes.

  • Mandrake Bar

    Mandrake Bar

    2692 S. La Cienega Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90034
    310-837-3297

    http://www.mandrakebar.com At this West L.A. bar, you might have trouble hearing your friends over the music, but it’s a nice place to drink, and it’s staffed by friendly folk. A narrow affair with low-slung wood tables, the Mandrake Bar exists on a stretch of La Cienega that is home to little other nightlife, rendering it the perfect spot for those who want to be in the know. A respectable collection of cocktails, a good happy hour and a relaxed vibe make this a prime destination for any night of the week. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

    http://www.mangiamorestaurant.com A high-end Italian restaurant and martini bar just steps from the beach? Where do we sign up? This Manhattan Beach eatery has a great wine list and more formal menu options than many of its South Bay competitors: There's beef carpaccio, grilled tiger prawns, champagne swordfish and a very nice cioppino. Come for the reasonably priced happy hour; stay for osso buco or rack of lamb. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

    6380 Ste. A, E. Pacific Coast Highway Long Beach, CA 90803
    562-961-3500

    Long Beach bar/restaurant Forbidden City's moniker is apt, since it sits in the shadow of Long Beach's über-chic watering hole Tantalum. But don't count this underdog out. The Forbidden City features elegant Asian-themed accouterments including lantern-wielding bronze statues and paintings of buxom, half-naked Asian women. The full bar features a decent offering of liquors, as well as a small selection of draft beers such as Dogfishhead Midas Touch and Scrimshaw Pilsner. Forbidden City also features a nice selection of sakes served cold or warm. A 300-milliliter bottle of Gekkeikan Horin Ultra Premium Sake will hit your wallet hard with a $21 price tag, but it'll also sooth your gullet with its smooth flavor.

  • Marlin Club

    Marlin Club

    108 Catalina Ave. Avalon, CA 90704
    310-510-0044

    http://www.marlinclub.com With its black vinyl booths, checkerboard floor, festive streamers and colorful murals of tropical fish, the Marlin Club is more fun and less pretentious than a lot of bars on Catalina. The oldest bar in Avalon, the Marlin was constructed to look like a ship by members of the Merchant Marines during World War II. Even the swinging doors to the restrooms are decorated with matching his-&-her mermaid-like torsos crowned with porthole windows. If the Marlin Club is a dive bar, it's a dive in the best sense of the word, with a good mix of locals and serious drinkers who want to get away from the tourist traps around the corner along the waterfront. The drinks are strong, the music is rocking, and, in keeping with Avalon's small-town vibe, the regulars can range from grizzled classic rockers to fresh-faced and earnest young lovers. Cover bands play live on Friday nights, and a rocking jukebox keeps the party going the rest of the time. For the competitive minded, there's sports on large-screen TVs and cozy nooks with darts, foosball, pinball and vintage video games. The full bar mainly stocks the greatest hits of alcohol, from Jack Daniels and Bacardi to Don Jose and Absolut, with a few dozen beers, stouts and lagers alongside a small selection of wine.
