Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.attheecho.com The longtime Nayarit nightclub is a lively Echo of its old self, with indie, post-punk, funky soul, country, dance nights and even kids' music. Other events range from wine tastings to spoken-word readings. The Echo Park club is connected to a separate-admission bigger room downstairs, the Echoplex. Many indie-rock and punk bands have made the Echo their home over the years, including W.A.C.O., the reunited Germs, Tulsa Skull Swingers, Summer Darling and the Gears, as well as touring combos like the Dirtbombs, Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter, the Ettes and Southern Culture on the Skids. The Echo has a full bar, with an outdoor smoking patio. Monday nights are generally no cover. Age limit varies. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.attheecho.com The Echoplex is physically connected to its upstairs neighbor, the Echo Park nightclub the Echo, but it's so much larger and into its own thing that it has a separate back-alley entrance and even street address. Reggae, hip-hop, funk, LGBT and other dance nights trade off with live music. Regular events include Funky Sole, Part Time Punks, the Americana roundup Grand Ole Echo and L.A.'s best reggae night, Dub Club, which often features legendary names straight out of Jamaica. The large stage, full sound system and dark lighting make the Echoplex an appropriate venue for big punk and indie-rock shows, as well as occasional spoken-word slams, beer and wine tastings, and even rollerskating. Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds, Heartless Bastards, Wire, Au Revoir Simone, Big Youth, Holly Beth Vincent, T.S.O.L., Puro Instinct, Ximena Sarinana, Dntel, the Sadies and the Adolescents are among the performers who've appeared live at the Echoplex. Full bar plus a smoking patio. Age limit varies. Street parking, with more parking available in a nearby metered public lot. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.eladobedecapistrano.com Like many San Juan Capistrano watering holes, this one embraces local history. Located across the street from the home of venerable Orange County justice of the peace Richard Egan, El Adobe features a cozy room to get a cool drink. The interior has the feel of an authentic turn-of-the-century adobe, with its plaster walls and exposed wood-beam roof. The Adobe also pays homage to Southern California history by hanging a Mexican Tricolor next to the Stars and Stripes. The ornate wood bar offers a full complement of wines, liquors and beers, the latter served in large schooners. The favorite Mexican restaurant of el Presidente Richard Nixon. Stop by the presidential booth, and order the President's Choice (guacamole, chile relleno, chicken enchilada, beef taco, Spanish rice and refried beans).

http://www.elcholo.com First served up by Rosa BÃrquez in 1923 in LA's original El Cholo Cafe (her grandson Ron Salisbury owns the restaurant group these days), the place's green corn tamales are a Southern California dining institution. On bites two and three, you'll find oozing sharp Cheddar cheese and Ortega chiles, which combined compete against the sweet corn with a snappy alternative.

http://www.elcidla.com Circa 1900, legendary filmmaker D.W. Griffith built what is currently known as Silver Lake restaurant and club El Cid. Years later, he used the venue to screen his highly controversial Birth of a Nation. Rumor has it moviegoers were charged two bucks to see the flick, an outrageous price in those days, so you can imagine what those same audiences would think today if they could walk down El Cid's uneven stairs and order a $30 margarita. Assuming their heads didn't explode upon viewing the drink menu, they'd discover that the cost of the beverage comes from the inclusion of Don Julio 1942 (because it can't be the Grand Marnier, lime juice or sweet-and-sour). Then again, if the people of the early 1900s could sample tequila from the 1940s, they'd be sipping away while daydreaming about flying cars and hover boards, because that's what humans do when we fantasize about the future. This historic Spanish-style restaurant is perched elegantly on the western edge of Silver Lake, with airy patios and a garden. Entertainment includes flamenco, dinner theater, comedy and live music.

http://www.elconejofeliz.com The main reason you're coming here is at night, when it becomes a nightclub hosting the sexiest Latinas outside a Univisión telenovela. During the day, they serve very standard Mexican food that you'll tolerate just for the promise of a cuchi-cuchi dance in the evening. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
Bacon-wrapped shrimp are the way to go at this old-school diner and live-music venue in Long Beach; otherwise, stick to the appetizers. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
Located in a nondescript strip mall in La Habra, El Portillo is a beer bar serving a largely Spanish-speaking clientele. This little spot is as minimalist as it gets: Spartan concrete floors, one row of bar stools, plain white walls, one functioning pool table and no taps. Gabachos may feel intimidated at first blush by the banda music bumping from the speakers, but not to worry, the bar does serve shots of tequila in addition to its bottled beer selection, so buy everybody a shot and start breaking down some barriers.

http://www.theelrey.com Located on the Miracle Mile in the Mid-Wilshire district, the El Rey is indeed something of an architectural miracle. Designed by the noted architect Clifford A. Balch in 1936, the art deco venue boasts a Streamline Moderne design, with sleek contours and a classically elegant exterior and interior. For more than 60 years, it was used mainly as a movie theater, but in 1994 it was reconfigured as a live-music concert hall. Since then, the room, which holds about 700 people, has hosted such diverse musicians as Iggy Pop, Neko Case, Radio Birdman, Wanda Jackson & Jack White, Buzzcocks, the Dresden Dolls, Wire, Emmylou Harris, Mission of Burma and the Avengers. An upstairs VIP balcony looks down over the grand ballroom, which is sided by plush red walls and illuminated by several gigantic glass chandeliers. The all-ages venue usually features standing-room admission, with a few booths located along the sides. The ballroom has a full bar, and another full bar is based in the venue's fancy art deco lobby, which includes a dramatic staircase that leads to the balcony. Street parking, plus paid parking in a lot across the street. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.emberofanaheim.com An oasis of visually appealing modern design in the midst of a seemingly random automotive district in Anaheim. On the up-side, Ember Cafe & Music Club supplies a classy atmosphere with ample room to move on the dance floor. The down-side is the usual $20 cover fee usually reserved for Los Angeles clubs and the mandatory valet parking at the door. If you managed to cope with those two buzz kills, this club offers a sleek environment with relatively cheap drinks where you can comfortable kick back with a gang of friends and dance the night away.

http://www.envyultralounge.com A jewel in the crown of Fullerton's exciting night life, Envy Ultra Lounge pairs sleek sophistication with colorful bursts of eye-catching style. Home to one of the best happy hours in Orange County, there are few establishments that can boast a better martini for the price they offer between the hours of 5 and 7 p.m. Later in the night this place is packed with an energetic crowd, most of whom fall on the younger end of the age spectrum. If you're looking for an intimate setting with class and great food, this is the place to be. Come on a weekend to catch live entertainment! Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.espnzone.com/anaheim/ Of course sports junkies will find what they're looking for at ESPN Zone. The dozens of televisions throughout the bar room (and restrooms) showing various games leave no room for spectator-related withdrawal. Bear in mind, this is a sanitized version of a sports bar: shots are impeccably measured and poured - and get too rowdy, and you're likely to get the bum's rush given the bum's rush. The service is quick and attentive, quite a feat considering the bartenders serve beyond the the bar into the often-packed restaurant. It's the kind of place you can take the wife and kids without complaint, so long as you keep the former occupied with a hearty glass of sangria and the rug rats can run free in the arcade.

Serving Long Beach's LGBT community, the Executive Suite mixes up stiff drinks from a full bar as well as a modest offering of brews. Though the interior decor is a little inconsistent: rustic tiki masks and grass lined bar tops meet modern glass tiles and a sleek wood floor— it just adds to this spot's charm. Distractions include a jukebox spinning hip hop and pop as well as two pool tables. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.extremesbar.com Like the Pump Room across the street, Extremes features lovely ladies clad in skirts shorter than a Scotsman's temper serving stiff drinks and draft brews. The large space has a modern feel, with its concrete floors and polished-steel-legged tables. Looking for any way to draw in a male crowd, the bar also features three pool tables and an electric dartboard. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.eyecandybikinibar.com As the name implies, the main draw of this inconspicuous establishment near the beach is the scantily dressed waitstaff. Bikini-clad women serve up booze while patrons watch sports on the flat-screens scattered around the bar. The ladies of Eye Candy will join you on the leopard-print couches and at the pool tables-and one performs a pole dance during halftime of every Monday Night Football game. Happy-hour specials are backed by daily drink specials, with domestic and imported draft beers ranging from $3 to $5, depending on the night. A few arcade games are tucked into the back corner near an exit leading to the outdoor patio, and the restrooms are wallpapered with pages ripped from Playboy magazines spanning the past decade.
