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

Academy
Beginning January 2018, ACADEMY will enter the Los Angeles nightlife space. A location with over 20 years of dance music history, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, the former Create Nightclub, Vanguard, and Qtopia, will be transformed, rebranded, and upgraded for the modern and immersive dance floor experience. The mission is simple -- to provide a welcoming environment for fans to enjoy the music they love, while maintaining the highest level of production, sound, and programming standards. With over 600 successful partnered events between Insomniac and Exchange LA, an alliance of curators, marketers, operators, and production staff with decades of combined experience, will be developing this new Los Angeles platform for artists to connect with their fans. Shortly after the 2018 New Year, the stage will be set for hundreds of memorable events for years to come. January 12th through January 14th, Academy debuts with a stretch of four grand opening weekend events. We hope that you can join us.

Exchange LA
Housed inside the former Los Angeles Stock Exchange building, Exchange LA serves as a clear indication of Downtown LA’s nightlife resurgence. With a multi level venue that fits over 1500, Exchange is Downtown LA's go-to spot for electronic dance music. Let us know if its your birthday, as we have bottle service specials for birthday celebrations! The décor is a mix of restored Art Deco styles and distinctly modern touches, from the massive bronze doors out front to the intricately painted forty-foot ceilings and the eye-popping LED screen composed of more than one million bulbs. There’s a sofa-lined hallway and adjoining lounge at street level, but most of the trendy guests head straight up to the Trading Floor – so named because that’s what it used to be – where they let loose to trance, house, or whatever other dance-friendly beats the DJ’s spinning that night. Laser lights, wafer-thin house dancers, and pulsing fog machines are definitely not in short supply, but VIPs looking for a more intimate environment have several options, from the booths in the mezzanine to the chilled-out Rockefeller Room or the private dance floor in the top-level Sky Loft. Six bars spread over four levels means grabbing a drink is less of a hassle than at other packed venues, and with reportedly more bathrooms than any other club in LA, getting rid of that drink is easier, too. Exchange and Create are the two EDM powerhouses in LA, with all the biggest names coming through one or the other. If you're a fan of dance music we'd highly recommend you visit both!

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.

Sound
Sound nightclub is THE bastion of deep house / underground electronic music in LA. It’s a small, intimate venue with a one-of-a-kind Pioneer sound system that will rock your socks. The venue has a raw and industrial look with lots of California redwood furniture and walls and offers a fairly spacious dance floor located right in front of the DJs perch. As suggested in the name, the venue boasts a unique and cutting edge sound system and a killer A/V system, so the visual elements are as stimulating as the unbelievable audio. This is a great place to go in Hollywood that actually books talents who play good deep house and more minimal/artful house rather than your typical top 40 hits and popular house music bangers. Space Yacht on Tuesdays mostly features bass heavy lineups and has garnered one of the fastest growing followings in the bass music scene. Framework Fridays are about underground deep house and techno music and the people who live for it. Sound Presents mainly features house music. On occasion Sound will host some well known DJs (Kaskade, Afrojack, Markus Schulz, etc) but more often than not you’ll get the likes of Guy Gerber, Seth Troxler, EDX, Digweed, etc. This is one of our favorite clubs in LA!

We really love creating different worlds with our special collection of upscale lounge atmospheres for our family and friends. We are taking ‘poppy’ to the next level and will essentially be the live version of a surrealism painting. It’s the most innovative concept with a dream sequence that we have aspired and achieved for within the h.wood group portfolio.” Throughout the venue, guests are whisked away feeling lost in a surrealistic dream, finding themselves among the whimsical bohemian cast of modern mermaids, peacock poppies, garden gypsies, baroque layers, human animals, with swinging storytellers, all while listening and engaging with great music, socializing and dancing or lounging in the indoor/outdoor patio area, receiving personalized poems and caricature portraits, as bottled spirits are encapsulated in oversized roses and oyster shells and crystallized bathtubs, correlated by their matching role- playing hostesses.

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.

It also gave birth to a movement where discerning heads are living on the frontlines of celebrating radical ideas through the fusion of immersive live art, cutting-edge technology, and exceptionally curated house and techno. That vision continues to hold the same ground, even as the brand grows and extends beyond the Downtown Los Angeles warehouse district, where it was originally conceived.

Mama Lion
Pinkies up, ladies and gents. Owner Robert Kim and chef/partner Michael Hung's glamorous new Koreatown restaurant, Mama Lion, has officially opened its doors, adding yet another key player to the neighborhood's thriving culinary scene (Terra Cotta and Here's Looking at You opened just last year, and don't even get us started on the always-buzzing Korean BBQ hot spots). This glitzy new supper club, located on the corner of Western Avenue and 6th Street, is making a serious statement with stunning, high-concept interiors and an impressive, upscale menu. Informed by former posts at Faith & Flower in Downtown and Viviane inside the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills, Hung knows a thing or two about satisfying L.A. taste buds. (Though he's also impressed the San Francisco crowd after working at James Beard Award-winning Jardinière and Michelin-starred La Folie.) At Mama Lion, the lauded chef is dishing out a contemporary, California-style menu of upscale shared plates spanning finger foods, raw bar selections, inventive main dishes and sweet tooth-satisfying confections. From seared froie grois and caviar service (yes, you read that correctly) to uni tostadas and apricot soufflés, the seasoned chef is serving up a little taste of luxury that'll pair perfectly with the range of craft cocktails prepped by Aiden Demarest of the Spare Room, Seven Grand among other high-end cocktail bars in L.A. Also on our radar? Truffled white bean hummus with crispy flat bread, hamachi tartare with Asian pears and Korean chilis, and a 28-day, dry-aged prime New York steak. (For the full menu, click here.) The palatable spread is complemented by equally intriguing interiors, dreamt up by West Coast design firm, Kelly Architects, whose projects read like a who's who of L.A. restaurants, including Hinoki and the Bird, Clifton's Cafeteria, Copa d' Oro and more. Industrial-style exposed beams, brick walls, glimmering chandeliers, sumptuous leather seating, and mixed metal design details created the perfect backdrop for late-night cocktails and fancy dinners. If you're looking for the kind of swanky, laid-back restaurant for lounging with a martini in hand or impressing a first date, this is your new go-to. After dinner Mama Lion transforms into a lounge with a DJ. Bottle service is available on most nights.

Located in the heart of Hollywood at 1601 N.

See exclusive first look images of the venue below. Taking over the space formerly occupied by clubs The Avenue and A/V Nightclub, The Spotlight will be operated by Framework. The Los Angeles-based production company is behind Hollywood’s nearby nightclub Sound and, in partnership with Goldenvoice, programs Coachella’s club-centric Yuma Tent. Framework was founded by Kobi Danan, who helped open and operate A/V from 2011-2013. (The Avenue occupied the space from 2017-2021.) Regarding The Spotlight’s programming, Danan tells Billboard that “One night, you can expect exceptional underplays, another, we transform into a platform to showcase emerging talent, but regardless of the night, our guests can expect consistency in the quality of programming all while being encapsulated by an elevated customer experience. Our goal has always and will always be to revive Hollywood as the premier destination for music.” He adds that the club’s intimate setting is the “antithesis” to the projects in Framework’s existing portfolio. The Spotlight has, Danan says, undergone “top to bottom aesthetic changes,” with the golden-toned lighting and curtain-draped walls recalling Hollywood’s golden era. The venue features a new stage featuring a custom DJ booth built on automatic hydraulics that can quickly transform the stage from DJ setup to live music seteup in seconds. For sound, The Spotlight was also refitted with custom L-acoustics and tuned to accommodate diverse programming.

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.

Spanning 12,420 square feet, Keys' tri-level design ensures a singular experience for every visitor. From its heart-thumping main dancefloor to its nostalgic arcade games and poker table upstairs, the venue's tri-level structure is said to embody a design ethos that marries modern aesthetics and vintage charm. "We are thrilled to finally introduce Keys to Sunset Boulevard," said Brian Toll and John Terzian, co-founders of The h.wood Group. "As a brand, we really embody Los Angeles, and all that it stands for."

It is an honor to be able to inform the next golden era of Los Angeles’ live music scene—from big name DJ sets and intimate acoustic shows, to listening parties and more‚and to further immortalize the city’s iconic nightlife culture."

The corridor on Santa Monica between San Vicente and Robertson will soon have another club to add in West Hollywood. A new LGBTQ club called Heart — which replaces the historic club Rage. Another partner in this venture is NSYNC’s Lance Bass. Ads for Heart are touting it as “the biggest gay nightclub in the US.” The 37-year Rage closed in September 2020 after a landlord dispute and COVID-19 restrictions that kept people from gathering indoors.

cated on a relatively quiet side street off Hollywood Boulevard is one of Hollywood’s oldest gathering spot. Established in 1927 and named after the famous hit song ‘My Blue Heaven’, and actually owned by the famous hit songwriter himself Gene Austin. Through Prohibition AS Morressy’s Hair Salon before becoming the Legendary Boardner’s in 1942 when Steve Boardner lost his lease in the Cross Roads of the World, he relocated Boardner’s bar to 1652 N. Cherokee where it still stands today. This long time Institution has endured much from Man to Acts of God, and still continues to thrive as one of the most welcoming and comfortable watering hole’s in Hollywood. Through card gambling, prohibition, the depression, the rock n’roll explosion of the 1980’s and the Hollywood Redevelopment, generations have made their mark on Boardner’s. Hollywood’s constant change and rapid growth seems to evolve around Boardner’s as it is discreetly located and its low-key unassuming appearance. Yet you step inside of Boardner’s and a jukebox plays popular hits just loud enough to bring in a good time mood amongst good conversation. In addition to the main bar area, Boardner’s offers a secluded outdoor patio complete with a full bar and stage for live performances… or one might just enjoy a sunny afternoon in Hollywood with a cold beverage and one of the best burgers in town! Boardner’s recent expansion incorporates a huge dance floor, fully equipped dj booth and state of the art PA System, VIP lounge with an awesome view of the entire venue and three full bars which all makes for a full house of fun! Frequented by neighborhood residents, Hollywood movie stars, and an occasional tourist, Boardner’s stands as a pillar to the community. Boardner’s ambiance and historical characteristics make for an ideal film location and has been a popular venue for many television and film scenes such as Hollywood Homicide, LA Confidential, Beverly Hills 90210, NCIS-LA, Gangster Squad, Swingers, Gone Girl, Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23, Arrested Development, Ed Wood, Wag The Dog, Leaving Las Vegas, Murder in the Mirror, Up Close & Confidential, The Client List, Southland, Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23, True Blood, Crocodile Dundee in LA, Two Cops, Alias, Numbers, NCIS: Los Angeles, Angel, How to Get Away with Murder and Cold Case to name a few. Film Stars Robert Mitchum, Ryan Gosling, Tommy Dorsey, Andy Griffith, Errol Flynn, W.C. Fields, Lucille Ball and the entire Cast, Gorilla Jones, Charles Bukowski, Ed Wood, Donald Sutherland, Keifer Sutherland, Edward Herman, Vince Vaughn, Quentin Tarantino, Scott Wolfe, Tim Burton, Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Ben Affleck, Courtney Love, Heath Ledger, Paul Bettany, Peter Weller, Michael Cera, Piper Perabo, Rose McGowan, Fran Drescher, Tony Todd, Jason Patric, Peter Green, Johnette, Tommy Lee, Axl Rose, Slash, and John Lennon are just a few who have made Boardner’s a home for a good stiff drink. Boardner’s resides in a historical landmark building, the Cherokee Building, designed by Norman Alpaugh, also the architect for the Sheraton Townhouse and Santa Monica’s Elmiro Theater. The Cherokee Building was Hollywood’s first drive-in business having a large motor entrance at the rear of the building where motorists could park, then walk through a Spanish courtyard complete with its original Moroccan tile fountain as the center piece of Boardner’s patio. Moorish flourishes, carvings, scrolling ironwork, gothic hand paintings, by Grey, and arched entryways, are perfectly incorporated aesthetics of this Hollywood landmark and add to the beauty of “The Boulevard”. Boardner’s discreet location and comfortable ambiance makes for the perfect place for any size party, film premiere, wedding receptions and wrap parties as well as simply the most relaxing and welcoming establishment for a cocktail and a good home cooked meal any day or evening of the week.

It’s LA’s newest music venue, pizza shop, and West Hollywood’s only boutique hotel with a saltwater pool. It’s where legends were made and groupies played. Come as you are. Create your own music, your own memories, and be ready to rock. A NEW KIND OF SOUND ON SUNSET Unwind poolside or spin your own beats from your plush WeHo pad on Sunset.

The club opens tonight for all the world to see. The first thing you’ll notice about the h.wood Group’s collaboration project with Interscope Records is the John Sofio/Built, Inc. design. Full of throwback charm and truly old photographs and knick knacks, the Peppermint Club feels like a return to the big band party scene of days gone by. Funky lighting and low plush seating confirm the feel, while booths and a back bar offer easy drinking access. As previously mentioned, the focus here is on the music, with the stage situated front and center. That’s certainly the hook owners John Terzian and John Janick are looking for, though it helps that Adam Koral is turning out cocktails and there’s a small bites menu to match.

Mon Ami
Santa Monica’s newest indoor-outdoor hangout is here, and just in time for some suitable spring weather. Despite a season of below-average temperatures and rainy days, sunnier moments are now close at hand for greater Los Angeles, and that means it’s time to consider the brand-new Mon Ami, opening formally for dinner on Friday, May 5. Situated in the former 41 Ocean lounge space at 1541 Ocean Avenue, this new courtyard hangout feels a world away from the touristy bustle on the other side of the wall, making it ideal for locals and in-the-know tourists alike. The new Mon Ami comes to life this week by way of the Pacific Coast Hospitality team, known locally for operating nearby Canary in downtown Santa Monica. This follow-up project will take the same airy, lush design approach, with plenty of rattan, wood, and textiles. Because the space is more lounge-focused and is housed in a courtyard, diners and drinkers will also find lots of colorful weatherproof tile, stucco touches, umbrellas, and stuffed, plush seating around low tables. John Sofio of Built Inc. designed the new space.

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.

The Buffalo Club
A good twenty years after their doors first opened, so much around us has changed. What seems like half the film, TV, music and internet companies in L.A. have moved into their now-gentrified neighborhood, many having discovered it through their first visit to the club. Around town, countless bars and restaurants have changed ownership, chefs, management, concepts or simply gone out of business; more than a few having tried to duplicate – with mixed results – the inimitable Prohibition-era allure of a certain establishment. Trends have come and trends have gone. And yet, some things remain the same. A decade or more before the speakeasy fad, gourmet comfort food craze, London private club vogue and mixology ubiquitousness…there was – and still is –The Buffalo Club: above the fray, under the radar, ahead of the curve.

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.
