Top 10 Best Clubs in Los Angeles, CA [2024 GUIDE]

Best of Los Angeles

With over 130 venues in Los Angeles, there are many places to choose from whether you're looking for a crazy night out or a lounge atmosphere. Don't worry! We're going to list out the best clubs in Los Angeles, CA that you should definitely check out.

Warwick

Part rustic cocktail lounge part Hollywood club, Warwick (formerly Club L), a warehouse of exposed brick, fireplaces, and unfinished ceilings, opens October 5. The idea here is a simple one, but not always easy to execute. Take the typical Hollywood club, but give it more of a rough, indie feel, and vastly upgrade the alcoholic options to seasonal craft cocktails made with better booze and quality ingredients. As one can see from the layout, it's a space suited to table/bottle service, but in this case the bar program, and yes, there's a "bar program," is executed by top talent Jason Bran and Damian Windsor who have likely liquored you up in the past four years at The Roger Room. While one can always order a drink from the venue's multiple bars, here's how tableside cocktail service will work. Those who reserve a table score a personal cocktail attendant to make drinks throughout the night. A table might come with a choice spirit, fresh squeezed juice, housemade syrup or bitters, seasonal garnishes, housemade "foams," and depending on the drink, fancy ice like this. Another fun bit about Warwick is that next door is a space dubbed the Warwick Workshop where all fruit is juiced and syrups are flavored, and where Bran/Windsor experiment with new intoxicants.

Highlight Room

The Dream Hollywood’s final concept is here, and boy it’s beauty. The Highlight Room takes over the rooftop and poolside at the mod hotel, which officially opens tonight with some of the sweetest views in Hollywood. With clear cut vistas looking out to Hollywood and beyond, it’s clearly outfitted to become an evening party space, what with speakers galore, two DJ booths, and bottle service. The far corner of the rooftop contains a decent number of dinner tables, where they’ll have full service. Think hamachi crudo, lobster toast, chopped chicken salad, and grilled prawns, with some amazing views to boot. The southern stretch of the space feels more like a nightclub, with low-flung tables and and pricey cocktails (Ace of Spade bottles run a cool $1K, for the ballers out there). Revelers looking to relax by the pool, which takes the center of the rooftop, could sip on a boozy watermelon lemonade while taking bites of wagyu sliders and pea hummus. Cabanas require reservations, and the entire roof is only available to hotel guests during the day. Starting at 6 p.m. on weekdays, things open up to the public, except on weekends when the rooftop opens at 1 p.m. for everyone.

Bootsy Bellows

The A-list-loved venue on the Sunset Strip has thrown out the black interiors and velvet seating for peach walls and plenty of greenery — but not to worry, the iconic puppet shows will remain. The Rat Pack is back at Bootsy Bellows, but with a new look. The former rendition — an old Hollywood, dimly-lit burlesque nightclub — has been replaced by a summertime escape mirroring Frank Sinatra’s 1940s Palm Springs home. The star-loved venue on the Sunset Strip has thrown out the black interiors and velvet seating for peach walls, pastel couches and plenty of greenery — but not to worry, the iconic puppet shows will remain. Co-owned by H.Wood Group's John Terzian and Brian Toll, and star David Arquette, Bootsy Bellows has been an L.A. nightlife staple since it entered the scene in 2012, and has been under renovations since August 2018 with John Sofio of Built, Inc. to design and bring the revamped space to life, this time with a more homey aesthetic. “You feel like you’re not in a nightclub, even though you will be,” says Terzian, who, along with Toll, now operates more than a dozen clubs and restaurants around Los Angeles, including nearby Blind Dragon, among other hot spots. “What we’re masking it with is the residential feel that I don’t think a lot of people are paying attention to. So we’ll have the entertainment, puppets and probably a few other surprises that go with that, but our overall feeling is marrying those two worlds.” A decked-out residence, at that. Drake’s personal sound guy was brought in to work on the DJ booth and speakers, embedded LED lights were added to the walls and ceilings to put on custom light shows, and gone is the signature VIP room that once welcomed Hollywood’s biggest names. That decision, is in part, thanks to the social media culture of 2019. “When Bootsy first opened in 2012, celebrities wanted to be hidden, they wanted to go out the back door, they wanted to have their own room and not be bothered and so we created this VIP room,” Toll explains. “As the evolution of nightlife changed, the celebrities who go out now want to be seen, they want to be on Instagram, they call the paparazzi on themselves — some don’t, but a lot of them do —so they want to be in the main room.” The revamped Bootsy Bellows opens its doors to the public on Friday, and hosted an early family and friends preview last week, welcoming Dave Chappelle and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis, among others.

Enjoy the beautiful tile throughout, but take care on the old steps leading down to the smoking patio; after a few drinks, their odd-sized treads are treacherous.

Break Room 86

Enter through the loading dock off Ardmore then walk through an employee entrance. From there, you're directed down a grey, glossy-walled hallway past the hotel kitchens and ice machines. The end of your destination is what was originally designed as the hotel employee break room, now transformed into L.A.'s newest '80s bar. Like most Houston Hospitality properties, there is an element of surprise to the entrance. We won't ruin it for you. Once inside, you're in an underground New York dance club from the '80s. There are old stacked TVs playing "Garfield," "The Ghostbusters" and "Rainbow Brite" highlighting the dance floor, a DJ booth with a special area for friends — and a wall completely covered in tapes. Houston Hospitality Beverage Director Joe Swifka created a cocktail menu inspired by his childhood. The "Rock-It Pop," named after the old Herbie Hancock song, is made to look like a red, white and blue Turbo Rocket popsicle. There's a bottom red layer of raspberry black tea syrup, a middle layer of lemon juice and vodka, and blue Curacao on top. The Dr.J! cocktail was named after basketball player Julius Erving, and is also an homage to Swifka's love of Orange Julius. His tiki version of the mall favorite incorporates lime, orange and pineapple juice, vanilla liqueur, overproof rum, Irish whiskey and a dash of bitters. "Each drink is loosely based on a fruit, with lemon, cherry, etc., then they get the modern craft cocktail treatment to make them more palatable for adults," said Swifka. "The drinks are simple and straight-forward but with enough complexity to mix it up." Behind the bar, the shelves are on hydraulics, which makes it easy to move them up or down, and flush with the floor to create a stage area. On some nights, you may find break dancers performing.

Lock & Key

Following in the speakeasy trend set by the likes of the Varnish and La Descarga, this Koreatown lounge—a low-ceiling, white marble and green-leather banquettes set the “Caesars Club” vibe, perhaps a nod to the former karaoke inhabitant. As expected, the entrance is unmarked: A stylish red door leads to a theatrically disorienting wall of doorknobs and keyholes. Once inside, there’s a small selection of beer and wine—four bottled beers (IPA, Lager, Brown Ale, Triple) and six wines by-the-glass (bubbly, white, rose and red)—but the cocktail program is front and center. Fresh herbs, fruits, simple syrups and torches set the stage for well-made, craft cocktails prepared by attentive and friendly bartenders donning classic white collared shirts and black vests. There’s a limited late-night, food menu from the next door Stall 239—try the Lollipop Chicken Wings and not-so-date-friendly garlic fries.

Intercrew Ultra Lounge

The original Intercrew at 3465 W. 6th St. in Koreatown shut its doors, but a newcomer is using its namesake to revive the basic idea of it — while remaining, significantly, its own thing. Richard Nam, who’s had a history in the world of hospitality, working with a Korean BBQ joint for a good portion of his career, is opening up a new restaurant also called Intercrew at 3330 W Wilshire Blvd. “This is a place to call home, to bring up all of our friends,” Nam told What Now Los Angeles (WNLA) about the nostalgic aspect of this new restaurant and a place where everyone knows each other. “It’s a Cheers sort of concept.” While paying homage to the original, Nam is doing a lot of things differently. He labeled the cuisine as “European-Asian fusion,” but doesn’t necessarily want to get pigeonholed to that. Some of these menu items will be things like fish dishes and pasta dishes, but it’s not all set in stone. Nam says the food will be primarily European, but they and their friends have spent time internationally and have hand-selected their favorite foods. Intercrew will have a very upscale and sophisticated atmosphere — setting itself apart from the other Intercrew’s lounge setup. Nam says construction on their new joint is well underway, yet there is no planned opening date at this time.
