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. More >>
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. More >>
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.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. More >>
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. More >>
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.

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 More >>
http://www.thecatandfiddle.com For British expats longing for a pint of Boddingtons and some fish and chips, the Cat and Fiddle, a Hollywood pub-restaurant set back from the Sunset Boulevard bustle, is something of a home away from home. But non-Limeys are just as likely to fall in love with the place, thanks to its pretty outdoor drinking garden and its rock 'n' roll-steeped history. The building dates back to 1929, when it housed studio wardrobes and was used in the filming of "Casablanca." The late Kim Gardner, bass player for several British Invasion rock bands, operated the bar until his death in 2001, attracting a rough-and-tumble group of rockers and music industry types who still frequent the place. His daughter, Eva Gardner, is carrying on the family tradition, hanging at the bar when she is not touring the world playing bass. The bar hosts regular Thursday DJ nights and a jazz band on Sundays. The artsy staff at the historic space will serve you homemade sausage, salads and house specials such as shepherds pie, steak and kidney pie, and lamb chops. More >>
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. More >>
http://www.dimmakrecs.com Formerly known as Cinespace, this Hollywood club is now named after the label run by celebrity DJ Steve Aoki. It's become famous for its Tuesday night parties -- the hottest party in town for EDM lovers for almost a decade. The term "secret special surprise guests" gets frequently thrown around by dance clubs, but when Dim Mak touts 'em, you know they'll truly be biggies. Both on the decks and live on stage, often at the precise moment before they blow up, at the Mak you can catch everything from rockers (Bloc Party and The Kills) to DJ gods (Justice and MSTRKRFT) to pop-tarts (Gaga and Uffie) to hiphoppers (Will.i.am, aka Superblaq, who had such a blast, he went on to do more projects with club creator Aoki). If you come here with a jaded attitude, the long lines to get in, throbbing beats and dance-crazed, photo-snapping crowds probably will make it worse. But come here ready to rage, and you'll never be disappointed. More >>
http://www.draishollywood.com Drais, the super-swank dance palace atop the W Hotel Hollywood is an unmatched extrasensory experience ($15 million worth). Vegas impresario Victor Drai (and partners Cy & Jesse Waits) have created a stunner of a club: go-go gals writh on gilded stripper-pole lamps, plush and roomy booths abound, opulent textures, mirrors and lighting gleam everywhere, and there's an outdoor pool area with cabana furniture to rival any ritzy living room. The kicker is the view, which - if you peek between the curtains that surround the place or go out on the main balcony - is incredible and almost vertigo-inducing (at least after a $15 cocktail). It may have one of the toughest doors in town, but that doesn't mean there's a lack of douchey dudes and lycra-wrapped ladies here like everywhere else. Luckily, the Metro station is right next to the entrance. More >>
http://www.eccohollywood.com Billed as Hollywood's first and only certified eco-friendly lounge, the intimate space (formally known as Tokio) offers energy-efficient LED lighting, power supplied by the LA Department of Water & Power's Green Power resources, recycled steel air pressure toilets and waterless urinals. It's surprisingly space-age looking for a spot that touts earthy alternatives, but the decor does go with the music (mostly techo, house and electro). Currently open weekends only with biggie DJs on the decks. More >>
http://www.edenhollywood.com Syndicate Hospitality have done it again with this swanky, nature-inspired spot in the space that used to house their popular Opera nightclub. The name references owner David Judaken's long-gone grotto, Garden of Eden, but gives it a more modern, arty twist. Bizarre yet beautiful hanging sculptures fall from the ceiling, as wood walls, earthy hues and lighting make it feel surprisingly warm and comfy for an upscale oasis. There's not a proper dance floor, but all the booths are equipped with table-like platforms made for toppling while tipsy. DJs play a mix of pop hits, electro and hip-hop for stylish, often famous crowd. More >>
http://www.elfloridita.com Wedged into a nondescript Hollywood mini-mall, this Cuban-style restaurant is decorated with glittery lights and mirrored walls and presents music and salsa dancing. Live music every Fri.-Sat. & Mon. Full bar. All ages. More >>
