LA Nightlife
The bars and nightlife in Los Angeles range from the exquisite West Hollywood clubs where the glam crowd drops Benjamins, to the dive bars where around-the-clock patrons keep the seventies blaring through the jukebox, and everywhere in between. Find a fun place to take someone on a date, or just someplace for your buddies to blow off steam.
Whether you’ll be going bar hopping on foot, cabbing it, taking the metro or looking for the valet, you’ll find something your style if you take the time to look around. We’ve reviewed some of our favorite bars here, with more coming as we add them. Make sure you carry some extra cash for late-night food.
