http://www.lacoliseumlive.com Located just south of downtown in Exposition Park alongside the venerable L.A. Memorial Coliseum and adjacent to the USC campus, this aptly named sports arena used to be the home of the home of L.A. Lakers, Kings and Clippers, and both the USC Trojans and (briefly) UCLA Bruins basketball teams. Unfortunately for the aging venue, the telling phrase is "used to be." Most of its jock tenants have fled, but the L.A. Sports Arena continues to be the site of occasional concerts from folks like Bruce Springsteen, who's performed there many times over the years. During the 2011-2012, the UCLA men's basketball team played some of its home games there while its own on-campus arena, Pauley Pavilion, was renovated. More >>
http://www.lazoo.org Where else in L.A. can you find flamingos, ocelots and Madagascar hissing cockroaches all under one roof? For just $10, see more than 300 different species of plants and animals, wit names as wild as their faces (shingleback skink, laughing kookaburra and tawny frogmouth, to name a few). Gawk at the mandrill, whose face looks like a Paint-by-Numbers accident, or commiserate with 97 percent human portion of the Bornean Orangutan in the recently spruced primate habitats. Open 7 days a week. More >>
This longtime Silver Lake nightclub has always been a hotspot for dancing to Latin music including salsa, reggaeton and bachata, but it has recently been redesigned and spruced up to encompass a wider booking policy. The Latin-music dance nights are still a big draw, but the new owners have also brought in hipster indie bands and cool DJs to keep the large club grooving on the other nights of the week. The building has an interesting and tangled history, serving as the site of one of the area's earliest American Legion halls. Eventually, it became one of the city's first gay bars, and in 1989 it was the site of the first legal rave in this country. Los Globos has an upstairs room, along with an ever-bigger downstairs ballroom that has been newly refurbished. Ages 21 & over. Lot and street parking. More >>
http://www.lot1cafe.com Some restaurants emerge fully formed, rough edges smoothed by architects and restaurant consultants, menus run through focus groups. Lot 1 is the other kind of new restaurant, a raw space seemingly willed into being, black walls and nine funky tables, heart-stoppingly beautiful tattooed waitresses, and a farmers-market-intensive roster of dishes. I was happy to hear the entire first Black Sabbath album played as soft background music. Restaurant owner Eileen Leslie murmurs about doubling the restaurant's size, installing a tasting menu, beefing up the air conditioning and becoming licensed for beer and wine. She's making it up as she goes along, which could be either annoying or incredibly cool, depending on where you stand on these things. More >>
http://www.luaularrys.com Perched a few yards from the beach in Avalon with a great oceanfront view, this popular oyster bar on Catalina Island is indeed located "where the bar meets the bay." The self-proclaimed "home of the famous Wiki Wacker" (composed of rum, brandy, pineapple and grenadine), Luau Larry's also features house drinks like Buffalo Milk, a vodka, cocoa, milk and banana concoction named in honor of Catalina's resident bison herd. Other drink specials range from Bald-Headed Bastard and Red-Headed Slut to Bong Water and Gummy Bear, along with more conventional margaritas, wine and standard domestic beers. The menu includes Hawaiian-style burgers, chicken wings, "Tiki Turkey" sandwiches and all manner of seafood, especially oysters on the half shell. But, above all, Luau Larry's is a real bar with live music, and one of the prime places on Catalina where both locals and tourists mingle. The relatively small room is decorated with colorful ocean paintings, tiki art and bamboo furnishings, and there's even a booth hidden in a cave-like grotto for romantic rendezvous. More >>
