Clubs In Los Angeles

Trends change rapidly in LA’s dynamic club scene, so check local listings to stay up-to-date. Also, be prepared to show ID, since the 21-and-over drinking law is strictly enforced. For the best clubbing action in LA, head to Hollywood.

The Avalon is one of the oldest and most beloved clubs in the area, often attracting world-famous DJs and performers. It also houses the stylish Spider Club, an intimate VIP lounge. Both White Lotus and Geisha House are Oriental-themed clubs that offer full restaurant service along with a thriving party scene. Be ready to pay a hefty cover charge. For a new twist to clubbing, try CineSpace, which shows films on screens placed throughout the lounge.

In Santa Monica, Zanzibar has the hippest DJs and decor. For rock and indie music, Spaceland and Temple Bar are best, often featuring live gigs by up and coming bands.

West Hollywood, with its sizable gay population, has many discos such as The Factory for a fun night out. The Derby offers a hint of nostalgia with its swing nights, while salsa and Latin beats energize Conga Room.

For ample laughs, visit one of LA’s many comedy clubs. Talented unknowns as well as major names perform at The Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv, and Laugh Factory.
