Nightspots here range from small dive bars to A-list,
VIP-only nightclubs, depending on the neighborhood.
Hollywood is the best place to find hot action. The
trendiest nightclubs and bars are all here and this is
where you'll likely find celebrities getting trashed
for the paparazzi. Dress codes in Hollywood are
strictly enforced and even if you are sporting nothing
but Armini suits, you are still not guaranteed
entrance to some of the hottest nightclubs.
For live music, the Sunset Strip has the best clubs
and is the spot where bands like The Doors and Guns
'n' Roses got their start. You don't need expensive
suits to get into these rock clubs, but you may want
to bring your wallet. Like all bars and clubs in
Hollywood, drinks are expensive.
If you don't want to go through the hassle of dealing
with waiting in velvet-roped lines and dealing with
bouncers, head toward the ocean and one of Los
Angeles' many beach towns. Venice, Hermosa Beach,
Santa Monica and Malibu are some of the best and bars
here are packed with the young and well-tanned.
