  • This glitzy three-story club plays live rock as well as DJ-spun dance music.

  • Largo

    Talking during performances is strictly forbidden at this sit-down club. Listen to musicians from different genres. Without dinner reservations it’s standing room only on a space available basis. Mondays are comedy nights.

  • Hidden behind heavy doors in a nondescript mini-mall, this tiki lounge features live bands.

  • McCabe’s Guitar Shop

    The biggest names in folk music from Arlo Guthrie to Al Viola have played in the back room of this legendary acoustic instruments store. The no-frills, convivial setting appeals to true devotees. Moderate ticket prices and free coffee.

  • Ultra-cool spot with bird’s-eye city views and unique water-beds for lounging (see The Standard Downtown).

  • A Texas-style steakhouse popular with families until 10pm, after which it becomes a lively night-time hangout complete with mechanical bull.

  • Famous for its poolside cocktails, celebrity crowd, and sweeping city views, getting past the velvet rope here is a tall order.

  • Soft lighting, music, and a crackling fireplace provide the perfect romantic backdrop at this luxury bar (see Hotel Bel-Air).

  • The Derby

    This glamorous venue became the center of the swing dance revival in the 1990s after being featured in the movie The Swingers . There’s still plenty of jivin’, and swing lessons at least twice weekly (usually Monday and Saturday), while hip hop, house, and other sounds draw crowds on remaining nights.

  • This vast and trendy Hollywood and Highland club (see Hollywood & Highland) boasts several dance floors and a Wolfgang Puck restaurant.
