http://www.lacoliseum.com Constructed in 1921 in Exposition Park next to the USC campus, the massive open-air stadium has been the longtime home field of the university's football team, the Trojans. Over the years, the Coliseum has also been the home to pro football's L.A. Rams, L.A. Raiders and L.A. Express, and was the site of the NFL's first two Super Bowls. It also served as the short-term ballpark for the L.A. Dodgers when the MLB team first moved here from Brooklyn in 1958. Unusually, the Coliseum has been the site of two separate Olympics, in 1932 and again in 1984. With a capacity that's been as high as 100,000 over the years, the stadium tends to host the biggest names in rock and pop, including the Rolling Stones, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Who, Nirvana, Joan Baez, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Peter Gabriel. Meanwhile, motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel once headlined as one of the Coliseum's non-musical high-volume performers. More >>
http://www.lacitabar.com With a low ceiling and a shadowy atmosphere flecked with glittery Christmas lights, this large downtown bar is a great place to hear live music by local underground and indie rock bands, as well as weekly DJ nights that include Latin and dance music. A large, colorful painting of a matador and bull dominates the club's stage and dance floor, and the long, wooden main bar boasts a full range of cheap drinks and exotic liquors. La Cita also has a second bar in the back on "El Patio," where barflies can watch sporting events on television and sip their drinks while gazing up at the illuminated skyscrapers towering over the downtown skyline. Full bar. No food. Street parking. Ages 21 & over. More >>

http://www.laluzdejesus.com Opened in 1986 by collector Billy Shire, known as the Peggy Guggenheim of lowbrow art, this Eastside art gallery brought to prominence the key artists of what is arguably the most important art movement to come out of California in the past few decades. Known as among the most hip galleries in town, it specializes in pop art, street art and surrealism. You can also head next door to the gift shop, the fittingly bizarre Soap Plant/Wacko, for strange and wonderful memorabilia. More >>
http://www.velvetmargarita.com Velvet Margarita will serve $5 premium margaritas "every day until the recession ends."

The festive restaurant serves Mexican fare (created from the owner's family recipes) such as Ahi tuna ceviche, chicken mole, empanadas, and smoked salmon quesadilla. The outdoor patio, with a DJ and small dance floor, is decorated with painted murals. More >>

http://www.largo-la.com No other club in Los Angeles has quite the same vibe as Largo. Music events and comedy revues alternate on the booking schedule, but on most nights the two combine for a uniquely daft yet tuneful blur of unpredictable entertainment. The club was located for almost two decades in a small space on Fairfax Avenue (featuring performers like Nellie McKay, Larry David, Glen Phillips, Aimee Mann, Brad Mehldau, Tenacious D and the late Elliott Smith), but in 2008 proprietor Mark Flanagan relocated Largo to the venerable playhouse the Coronet Theater. In its current location, Largo's stage has featured many of the regulars from the old days, including Jon Brion, Fiona Apple, Sara & Sean Watkins, Robyn Hitchcock and Grant-Lee Phillips, along with such stellar visitors as Suzanne Vega, Nicole Atkins, and Sean Lennon & Charlotte Kemp Muhl. As ever, big-name comedians like Russell Brand, Sarah Silverman, Margaret Cho and Eddie Izzard frequently drop by. The West Hollywood room is a "sit-down theater with a strict no-talking policy." And, unlike at many nightclubs, the folks at Largo are also strict and literal about the posted showtimes, with no admittance to those who arrive late. The adjoining cafe is spruced up with arty feathered mannequins and black-&-white photos of the venue's storied past. Across a small courtyard lies the Little Room, an aptly named beer-&-wine bar that also hosts music and comedy. Paid parking is available next door, at 360 N. La Cienega Blvd., in the Baker Building. All ages. More >>
