Featured Bars and Clubs


http://www.25degreesrestaurant.com The latest restaurant project from the O.C.-based team that brought us Dakota, Whist and Meson G is a bordello-style, flocked-wallpaper saloon with a big list of wines by the half-bottle, the chance to have Red Hawk or Crescenza on your cheeseburger instead of ordinary cheddar, and big Chinese takeout containers filled with herb-flecked pommes frites. The soundtrack is probably close to the one you played in your car on the way to the AC/DC concert, if you were into stuff like that, a grinding mix of ’80s guitar rock played with enthusiasm and played loud.

http://www.amplyfi.com This cool underground club is hidden in plain sight, right across the street from Paramount Studios and just around the corner from Astroburger on Melrose Avenue at Gower Street. There is no sign, and you have to enter through the back entrance after walking halfway down the block through the alley. Look for the green door surrounded by show flyers, with "AMPLYFI" written in small black letters. The club is the brainchild of the noted singer-songwriter Kota Wade, who, at age 19, opened the intimate venue in January 2011, converting her private rehearsal studio into a public, all-ages performance space. Evoking Hollywood's storied underground music clubs, the cozy venue (with a capacity of 70 people) feels like a hip living room decorated with colorful Pop Art, lava lamps, gold records, mannequins and vintage photos of Jane Fonda. Professional lighting and a good sound system make Amplyfi feel like a real nightclub without losing the charm of its DIY setting. Kota presents a wide range of singer-songwriters, indie-pop musicians and hard rockers, and she sometimes jumps onstage herself. Parking is available on nearby streets, but do not park in parking spaces marked Astroburger, or you'll risk getting towed. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
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.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 >>
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.

http://www.chateaumarmont.com Sometimes a burger and fries is enough to sustain you through a night of serious drinking, and sometimes it's got to be boozy bacon prunes. It is at those latter times that you hope you have the pull to get past the doorman at Bar Marmont, whose list of regular customers still resembles US Weekly's table of contents, because Bar Marmont is everything you could want in a gastropub: ingenious cocktails, intimate nooks and the killer cooking of Carolynn Spence, who was once chef de cuisine at NYC's notorious Spotted Pig. Her menu, while far less offal-intensive than Spotted Pig's, is very close to it in spirit: Italian-influenced small plates include diver scallops in brown butter, a good small wine list and drinks. Lots of drinks. The kitchen stays open until 10:30 p.m. for dinner. And if you discover you need that burger after all, it's a good one. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.thebarhollywood.com Sandwiched in between a Mobil gas station and a small hotel on the corner of Bronson and Sunset, the Bar rises like a neon-lit beacon in the East Hollywood drinking landscape. The location, once a notorious dive known as the Ski Room, was renovated in 2004 by the design team behind Hollywood's Avalon nightclub, and the result is a cozy drinking room whose downtrodden exterior belies a well-appointed interior, regularly packed with a good-looking crowd of club kids and party people. The Bar hosts regular DJ nights, where you can rock out to a well-curated selection of sounds, from Joy Division to hair metal. Drinks are stiffer than a board, and prices tend more toward "Hollywood" than "dive." Be warned: It can get crowded on popular nights, so if things get a little too snug for your liking, take a breather outside on the smoking patio or make like the party girls and climb up on a table.

http://www.bardothollywood.com Elegant yet fun, decidedly Deco but with modern luxe twists, Bardot is one of the most beauteous clubs in Hollywood. Gilded details, chandeliers, plush seating and 1920s-era arches and moldings from the building itself make it a glamorous backdrop for the diverse promotions that take over each week. Formerly the uber-exclusive Spider Club (Bruce Willis was one of the backers and you needed a special card to get in most nights), the indoor/outdoor space above the Avalon nightclub still attracts its share of famous faces (Prince, Lindsay Lohan) and surprise -- and not so surprise -- music star performances (Jane's Addiction). But it's the mix here that matters most. Speaking of which, the drinks are divine, although, like the hot looks sported here, they're definitely not cheap.

http://www.theblumonkey.com Long cushioned benches lined with plush pillows, Morroccan-influenced decorations, and mosque-shaped hanging lights make Blu Monkey Bar & Lounge look as if it is a hookah bar. Despite the lack of hookahs, the vibe is laid-back. Speedy bartenders and good DJs keep customers happy and the dance floor full. Unpretentious, but still crowded, the Blu Monkey is a good place to chill with good friends. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.boardners.com With one of the richest histories of any bar in Los Angeles (it's said to be the last place where Elizabeth Short drank before she stepped into the night and became the Black Dahlia), this "Hollywood legend since 1942"; as touted on the Web site; has definitely gone through different guises over the years. (It was a hot, heavy metal scene hang in the '80s.) But it didn't realize its full splendor until owner Tricia La Belle took over a little more than a decade ago, refurbishing the bar area and embellishing the adjacent dance room with gothic touches, as well giving the outdoor patio a New Orleans-style feel, perfect for the dark and decadent entertainment on weekends and the young, hip hordes who frequent midweek.

Dark, loud, often cramped but always welcoming and laid-back, this enduring hole in the wall is everything a bar should be: the drinks are deadly and reasonably priced, the bartenders are either rough or superhot (sometimes both) and the crowd is rowdy but never in a scary way. No need for beer goggles in here, either; everyone looks doable in this dim light (strands of Christmas bulbs give it a sleazy but festive ambience). Those seriously on the make usually have more luck out front under the smoke clouds where much-beloved Burgundy doorman Torrance Jackson hangs and a view of disparate, circuslike happenings of Cahuenga can be absorbed.

http://www.cafeaudrey.com This charming cafe is much like its namesake Audrey Hepburn: smart, cute and elegant. Located just steps from Hollywood Boulevard, with an entrance around the corner on Las Palmas Avenue, the cafe is a peaceful oasis apart from the tourist hubbub on the Boulevard. The black-&-white interior decor includes a high ceiling, mirrors and vintage Tinseltown photographs. Music performances and open mikes tend to be low-key, in contrast to the more-competitive vibe at other Hollywood clubs. All ages Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.circusdisco.com Pumping music styles ranging from techno to Latin to pop to, of course, disco for more than decades, Gene La Pietra's spacious dance club compound (the lot also includes a separate danceteria, Arena) remains a go-to for gay grindin', conjunto concerts and occasional electronic rave-type events. It boasts a big and breezy outdoor patio (with BBQ offerings) and a multitude of distinct music areas, not to mention revamped sound, lighting and bounteous disco balls. Full bar; over 21; valet parking. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
