http://www.pourhauswinebar.com Every bar in downtown L.A. seems to be jockeying for position when it comes to the best happy hour, but one at a wine bar reigns supreme: Pour Haus in DTLA’s warehouse district. Here, happy hour goes from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. A select glass of red, white or sparkling wine is available for $5, as are assorted menu items, from oxtail tacos to bruschetta. For the detail-obsessed, trivia nights are Tuesdays. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.redcat.org REDCAT is an acronym for the Roy & Edna Disney/CalArts Theater, an arts center that's part of the Disney Hall complex and also affiliated with the CalArts campus. Since it's a smaller venue, REDCAT can take on edgier and more experimental fare than its roomier big brother, Disney Hall. REDCAT features an intimate, versatile 240-seat theater/performance space and an adjoining gallery for art exhibits, as well as a comfortably modern lounge and bar area. Events range from theater, concerts and multimedia experimentation, with appearances by everyone from comedian Sandra Bernhard to the transgender performance artist Justin Bond. Like Disney Hall, REDCAT was designed by the celebrated architect Frank Gehry, who wrapped the building's facade in a playful curvilinear wave of stainless steel, which is highlighted further by neon lighting. Inside, REDCAT is colorful and brightly lit, while the theater's acoustics and sophisticated dual sound system were designed and fine tuned for both live performances and film screenings. The wood-paneled lounge (which includes a small bookstore) is brightened with a skylight and flowering plants, and the bartenders serve beer, wine, cocktails and espresso. Parking is available in Disney Hall's adjoining underground parking lot. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.theredwoodbar.com Decorated with skulls & crossbones, fishing nets and maritime paintings, this pirate-themed downtown bar has a long and rich history. Roots-rock, punk and indie bands vie for attention on the club's small, low stage. A true pirate's bar, Redwood welcomes you with a "Yar." Eat your burger and fries, or mac and cheese with fries amid skull candles and the occasional dancing wench. Standard pub fare is offered here, but the décor and scene is far from it.

http://www.samshofbrau.com Strip clubs are best served with an edge of danger, and that’s exactly what you’ll get at this downtown topless joint. It has the kind of vibe that feels like a fight could break out at any minute, but you’ll stay because the girls on stage – and there are many girls onstage, all at once – are all hot enough to be starring in rap videos. Get there early on Fridays and Saturdays to avoid the line. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.2ndstjazz.com Intense young players mix with seasoned jazz veterans in this great Little Tokyo den, and the vibe is never less than real. Music from 9 p.m. Full bar, and food served till 2 a.m. Plenty of secure lot parking within a block. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.senorfish.net This downtown restaurant is located at the former site of the beloved punk hangout the Atomic Cafe. Patrons can even sign the Atomic's guest book and reminisce about the old days. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.sevenrestaurantbar.com This sleek bar and restaurant is located in the Quinby Building, at the corner of Seventh Street & Grand Avenue in downtown's Financial District. A glass chandelier decorated with glass bubbles dominates the bar's foyer, and the overall mood is cool and relaxed. DJs spin ambient, trip-hop and downbeat grooves. Ages 21 & over. Full bar. Valet parking available. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.sevengrand.la Located in the historic part of downtown on the second floor of a grand old building on Grand Street, this venerable whiskey bar has the look and feel of a classic hunting lodge. Outdoorsy tableaux and the skeletons of various animals are spotlighted in glass, museum-style display cases, and the bar's high walls are mounted with more than a dozen deer-head trophies and other taxidermy specimens. The hunting motif continues with fox-and-hound-patterned wallpaper and a row of fanciful lamps that sprout with the antlers of mythical jackalopes. The Irish bar boasts more than 265 brands of whiskey and bourbon, and the joint encompasses a large room with a pool table that's reportedly 150 years old, as well as smaller, more intimate lounge areas. In keeping with Seven Grand's vintage aesthetic, live jazz and blues groups perform Monday through Wednesday, along with traditional Celtic folk combos, but local indie-pop bands occasionally sit in, bringing an air of contrasting modernity. The dress code is formal, with shorts, flip-flops and "overly baggy" pants not allowed. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.thesmell.org Housed in a funky old storefront, this aptly named downtown club is one of the city's few all-ages live-music venues. Run by a clique of volunteers with a punk-inspired DIY philosophy, the Smell features arty, punky, freaky and experimental indie combos. Most shows are $5. All ages. No booze. No phone. www.thesmell.org Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.standardhotels.com Hard to say what's more eye-catching at the Standard's rooftop bar, the giant Logan's Run-style water-bed pods and futuristic furniture, Astroturf deck, and outdoor fireplace (all schemed in red and white), or the breathtaking view of downtown, which is quite splendid both day and night. Then there's the crowd, a mix of artsy, hip and fashion-forward - both hotel guests and local party people - who love to lounge in skimpy swimwear by the pool during the warmer months. Top promoters throw splashy bashes here every weekend with top DJs from around the world. The hotel's groovy magenta-hued lobby also offers DJs spinning slightly more chilled grooves on a regular basis. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.tatoullc.com This combination restaurant-club has it all - food, drinks, a dance floor, music and of course... scantily clad girls. The restaurant, Wokano, serves the gamut of asian food - crispy fried wontons, hot and sour soup, mongolian beef, you name it. Once your stuffed of fried rice, hit the warehouse-size, 1,200 capacity dance floor. Fluorescent lights race around the room, a disco ball the size of the moon rotates above your head, go-go dancers in high heels shake their stuff and music blares from the DJ stand. This super club looks more like a rave than a restaurant. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.thesexla.com This downtown warehouse's sparse and spacious bare-bones look makes it a popular place for a variety of nightlife promotions. Regular events held here range from '60s soul nights to raging one-offs (the depraved dance party "A Club Called Rhonda" throws good ones!) to underground, word-of-mouth rave parties and occasional indie rock bands. Promoters bring in their own décor, props and even bar, but the place itself has all the basics: a nice-sized stage, numerous benches, three bathrooms, a fenced-in smoking area and some very trippy blue wallpaper, which just so happens to make a great backdrop for photos.

http://www.tonyssaloon.la It may be the diviest of 213's roster of revamped downtown bars (the company owns Golden Gopher, Broadway Bar, Seven Grand, Casey's Irish Pub and more), but Tony's is still a welcoming spot to imbibe. The area is a bit sketchy, but the bar has its own parking lot, and the room itself is old but handsomely yet tastefully redone. Gutted years ago, the space has a large back bar (brought over from a 19th-century saloon in Utah before 213 took over), shiny booths, soft lamp lighting and a great smoking patio complete with a ping-pong table. Hunter S Thompson gets nods in fixtures here (213's Cedd Moses, who's a fan, says the bar reminded him of Thompson's famed haunt, the Woody Creek Tavern in Colorado) and on the drink menu (there's a bounty of Thompson's favorite bourbons displayed behind the bar).

http://www.umami.com/umamicatessen/ The comfort-food menu feels a bit like a carnivore's fever dream, where umami accents inhabit every plate, bowl and parchment swatch, where even the cocktails might contain a pig's tail. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
