http://www.eleven.la A glossy gay hot spot in the former Larrabee Sound Studios, part night club and part restaurant, Eleven is a two-story, spacious and sleekly designed West Hollywood location with colorful tile-lined walls. The food is primarily of the bar - or American comfort - variety. You'll find items like a hamburger, fish-and-chips, prime rib, nachos and Cobb salad. More >>
http://www.fubarla.com This WeHo gay bar may be on the small side, but the parties are big fun thanks to some of L.A.'s hippest promoters. Mondays bring the edgy man candy, Tuesdays karaoke and weekends a mix of drag queens and area bar hoppers. An alternative to the area's "circuit" scene, this is the place where fierce 'n' flaming types and more rugged boy's boys alike let it all hang out to sounds ranging from electro to alternative rock. Often shirtless bartenders and photo booth add to the revelry. More >>
Gardenia is a restaurant, with dinner service beginning at 7 p.m., but it's really better known as a decades-old locale for cabaret performances. Even if you order from the menu (referred to as "international fusion"), you will still be required to pay a cover charge. Tuesdays are open mic night and perhaps the most popular evenings at Gardenia, when anyone, no matter their skill level, is allowed to perform. More >>
http://www.genghiscohen.com A large restaurant with a full bar and live music, Genghis Cohen is a place to eat New York-style Szechwan food on white tablecloths in big, black booths. One of its best-known dishes is the thick, deep-fried New York-style egg rolls, but its large menu also includes things like sizzling rice soup, Mongolian beef and shrimp with lobster sauce. Since 1990, the cozy adjoining music room, which is decorated with red lanterns and seats 60 about people, has featured singer-songwriters. More >>
http://www.herelounge.com Most nights 10 p.m.-3 a.m.; over 21; cover varies. More >>
http://www.aframejazz.com In this Hollywood Hills home, distinguished older gentlemen sit in neat rows beside ladies with fans dressed in their Sunday best — if it weren't for the posters of Duke Ellington, Wycliffe Gordon and John Coltrane adorning the walls, it would be easy to mistake the A Frame for church. It's not, but on Sundays once a month, the living room of Betty Hoover's home becomes an intimate venue — improvised, like the best jazz — where guests can listen to world-class artists play, and chat them up over an egg salad sandwich afterward. A donation of $45 to $50 buys entry to the show, lunch and drinks. Just remember the house rule: The musicians always eat first. 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 >>
Though older than its downtown sister, the Standard on the Sunset Strip retains its own set of fans. And why not? Andre Balazs' original has an unmatched quirky cool; from its upside-down sign and its lobby (with live model behind a glass window by the check-in desk) to the groovy retro-style pool area and desert-photo-wallpapered "Cactus" lounge. Still, the Standard's Purple Lounge reigns for flashy Barbarella-like sex appeal and flamboyant club frolic. The room features swings large enough to lie down on, plenty of plush couches and spacey plastic chandeliers everywhere you look. But it's the violet light that makes it truly an otherworldly place to party. DJs lean toward electro and house rhythms most nights, and the patrons include a mix of Euro-flashsters, trendy tourists and Hollywood entertainment mavens. More >>
http://www.ragewesthollywood.com Arguably, Rage is the throbbing heart of West Hollywood's bustling gay-nightlife scene, a circuslike fun house that's not for the timid or refined. The two-story restaurant and dance club offers greasy-good grub and big, sweet cocktail concoctions, served up by beefy waiters and all backdropped by loud, pulsating beats and lights. Multiple dance floors pump out everything from pop-tart hits to diva house grooves and more, and it all gets the boy-toy and "circuit" stud scenesters in grind mode. Currently, music-themed dance nights include: "Urban" dance sounds on Monday (Network), Latin sounds on Wednesday (Fuego), electro and pop and everything in between Friday (Gamboi) and Saturday (Kinky Saturdays) and Sunday (Stereo). Rage's most flam-BOY-ant night is hands-down Tuesday, when the wigged wonder of the Dream Girls Revue offers the art of female impersonation at its fiercest. More >>
http://www.rainbowbarandgrill.com Rainbow Bar & Grill is an ode to rock, with autographed photos lining the walls, vintage guitars scattered about, and visiting bands performing in the dim, mostly red space. At this Italian restaurant, "the rainbow special" is a popular pizza, with cheese stretching out of your mouth after each bite. More >>
http://www.theroxyonsunset.com Since its opening in 1973, the Sunset Strip nightclub has presented a stellar array of musicians, comedians and theatrical revues, including Neil Young, Bob Marley, Rickie Lee Jones, Chuck Berry, Genesis, Bruce Springsteen, Miles Davis, David Bowie, the Clash, Prince, the Replacements, the Pharcyde, Jane's Addiction, Dolly Parton, the Dead Weather, the Dickies, Cobra Verde, Nellie McKay, the Ringling Sisters, Nirvana, the Sex Pistols, Pee-Wee Herman and the American theatrical debut of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Ramones filmed the concert scenes for Rock & Roll High School here, and Van Morrison, Social Distortion and Warren Zevon are among the notable personalities who've recorded live albums in the West Hollywood club. Apart from a full-service bar, the main room and its dark walls (which feature photos of past performers) are austere and functional instead of lavishly decorated, but that's because the focus is on the musicians onstage. The adjoining upstairs lounge On the Rox hosts parties, DJs and live performances and has been the site of numerous celebrity sightings, going back to John Lennon's and Harry Nilsson's notorious lost weekend in the mid-1970s. Both venues are all ages with separate full bars. More >>
http://www.troubadour.com In the first decade after the late Doug Weston opened the Troubadour in 1957, the West Hollywood club presented such influential folk-pop musicians as the Byrds, Joni Mitchell and Buffalo Springfield and legendary comedians like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. In the 1970s, the Troubadour was the site of historic performances by Tim Buckley, Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young, Cheech & Chong, Kris Kristofferson, Bruce Springsteen, the Pointer Sisters, Tom Waits, George Carlin, Miles Davis, Steve Martin, Carole King, James Taylor, Leonard Cohen, Elton John and the poet Charles Bukowski. In the 1980s, the club went in a hard-rock direction, hosting such groups as Metallica, Warrant, Pearl Jam, W.A.S.P. and Guns N' Roses. Since then, the Troubadour continues to book rising bands alongside established names, including Fiona Apple, Manu Chao, Nellie McKay, Radiohead, Gogol Bordello, System of a Down, Johnny Cash, the Go-Betweens, Franz Ferdinand, Cypress Hill, Fleet Foxes and the Cure. The club has a kitchen and three full bars, as well as a balcony that looks down over the stage and dance floor. All ages. More >>
