Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.thesatellitela.com Everyone from Rilo Kiley and the White Stripes to the New York Dolls and Gossip has played at this indie-rock bastion, which for many years was known as Spaceland but is now called the Satellite. The Silver Lake bar has had several distinct incarnations, evolving from the longtime gay hangout Dreams into Pan, the live-music club that morphed into Spaceland in the mid-1990s. Although its narrow stage has hosted many notable national and international performers, including Dead Moon, Of Montreal, the Buzzcocks, Death Cab for Cutie, Pavement, Supergrass, the Detroit Cobras and Love With Arthur Lee, the venue is synonymous with the Silver Lake music scene, launching such crucial local indie icons as Beck, Possum Dixon, Silversun Pickups and Elliott Smith. More recently, the club has booked everyone from the Melvins to the Pipettes and Booker T. Jones. The Satellite has a full bar, and there's a separate bar (with a pool table) that's walled off from the rest of the club with see-through plastic like the Cone of Silence. Monday nights are generally no cover. Most shows begin at 9 p.m. Ages 21 & over. The bar has a small adjoining lot with valet parking, and street parking is also available, but read the posted signs, as some neighboring streets have zealously enforced permit-parking restrictions.

http://www.sevillanightclub.com This Spanish-themed bar and restaurant has a wide assortment of rums. The candle-lined walls generate a warm, romantic ambiance, making this joint a nice place to take a date. But other walls are plastered with bullfighting posters as well as a Picasso-esque mural. Dig the beautiful glass water wall at the entrance. What this establishment is best known for is sangria. Poured fresh from the tap, it sports notes of citrus, red wine and cinnamon. Be careful, it's easy to over-imbibe with this one. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.pepperspianos.com Sgt. Pepper's Dueling Piano Cafe probably isn't the best place for wall flowers or lounge rats. Tables line the lower tier with all chairs facing toward a small stage where, true to the venue's name, two pianists have at each other by banging on their keyboards rather than each other's faces. Toss in a few drinks and some raunchy humor and you can imagine that this place can get pretty rowdy on a Friday night. Be prepared to sing and dance along because the performers pack LED flashlights to single out party poopers with a light to the face and a barrage of "Boos." All that said, Sgt. Pepper's is a great place to let loose and watch your friends make asses of themselves on stage. There's also a family-friendly show offered during the day!

Sure, the Shady Nook is a dive, but only in the most affectionate sense of the term. Featuring air conditioning, clean floors and a wealth of diversions other than booze, this spot satisfies a diverse range of tastes. Patrons can enjoy digital dart games, Spider-Man pinball, two pool tables as well as the addictive Big Buck first-person shooter. But let us not forget the drinks. Though this bar is bereft of hard liquor, it serves a nice array of draft beers-including Michelob Amber Bock and a tasty Hefeweizen-as well as a small selection of wines, sakes and sojus.

Shannon's is a sports bar with a locals-only vibe. If you're new meat, don't expect them to roll out the welcome mat. But do expect stiff drinks from the tall, extensive, supremely stocked full bar, which also includes a nice selection of draft beers (go Shock Top). The high-ceilinged, wood-paneled room has four flat screens flickering images of Lakers games, as well as one massive big-screen. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.sharkeez.net You'd be hard-pressed to find a day of the week when this Main Street, Huntington Beach mainstay isn't crowded. A fog machine, crimson laser lights and live DJ create a club-like atmosphere in the long, narrow bar; people will dance anywhere there is room to stand. Drinks are served in plastic and Styrofoam cups from the full bar, which also features a frozen-margarita machine and various bottled beers. The party continues on an outdoor patio, as well as a gated dining area on the extended sidewalk. Sharkeez also offers drink specials coinciding with football games and other sporting events.

http://www.shoreultralounge.com The Shore Ultra Lounge of Long Beach is hard to miss, its large illuminated sign facing right towards 2nd Street. If you roll in on a Friday or Saturday night, expect a $10 cover unless you've entered your name on the online guest list, a feature that gets you in for free before 10 p.m. Shore's showroom features a small stage for live performances and what has been dubbed the Ice Room, a tiny glowing blue chamber where you can take iced vodka shots. A second dance room hosts a separate DJ and the main bar where glowing bottles of liquor line a giant "X" suspended from the ceiling. Bar service is generally quick and crowd activities can vary from good-natured bumping and grinding to some mild moshing at the foot of the stage. Just a heads up: stripper pole.

http://www.silvera-steakhouse.com David Silvera, former drummer for nu-metal band Korn, opened this upscale Chicago chop house in 2007. Although his former occupation might imply loud and obnoxious, Silvera's is anything but, veering to the extreme opposite with hip-hop, Dean Martin and Madonna interwoven into the musical repertoire. It's classy and dark, attentive service beginning at the door, with an escort by a suited gentleman no less. Then there are the inventive and lethal martinis in the martini lounge, appetite-whetting starters (try the five-cheese plate and crab-cake appetizer), mouth-watering steaks (of which the tender and juicy bone-in "cowboy" rib eye is a perennial favorite and as good as any you'd get at Fleming's or Morton's), and tasty sides (a five-cheese macaroni laced with bacon bits sparkles). Best of all, the Huntington Beach location means that even with flip-flops being sin couture, Hawaiian shirts and khakis still pass the casually dressy test.

http://www.thesilverlakelounge.com For many years, this longtime Silver Lake bar has presented transgender Latino shows. The cozy, narrow bar is dark, the small stage is low, and the sound system is basic, but the club's iconic neon "Salvation" sign has beckoned adventurous groups for more than a decade, including Metric, Nellie McKay, Les Baton Rouge, Wye Oak, Liz Pappademas and Mr. Gnome. Indie-rock promoters the Fold were based here for many years before giving away to other booking agents. Seating is available at the bar and on a long bench along the wall, with Chinese lanterns giving the dimly lit room a little bit of festive color. Full bar. Ages 21 & over. Parking available in a small adjoining lot and on the street. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.simmzys.com There are no walls at Simmzy’s. No really, there aren’t any outside walls. Every seat along the border of this street-corner bar-cum-restaurant is essentially on the sidewalk. There used to be two presumably non-load-bearing facades enclosing the space that was once the Shore House Cafe, but that might as well be a million years ago. This, you think to yourself, is what all present and future of pubs should look like, where there are no visible boundaries between your well-drunk glass of ale and the street. Because of it, the place seems to have a magnetic pull. Whether you’re driving by or walking by, you see that everyone’s here, curvy vessels of beer in hand, pizza pies between them—so why aren’t you? Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.marriott.com This bar embodies that seeming contradiction that makes Long Beach a great city: Behind its edgy, urban ambiance is a feeling of casual friendliness. It's located in the heart of downtown, inside the 12-floor, nearly 400-room Renaissance Long Beach hotel, but anyone can walk right in and order up one of its signature cocktails. Try the Cuban Society, a blend of Bacardi Razz rum with mint, raspberry and lime flavors. It also makes Aviations with Bombay Sapphire gin, Crème de Violette, lemon and Luxardo Maraschino. As a nod to its hotel environs, Sip also offers internationally inspired cocktails. And as the bartenders will tell you, all the juices used for cocktails are fresh-squeezed daily. Specialty beers-including Yellowtail, Calico Amber and McGarvey's Scottish Ale-sit alongside domestic faves such as Budweiser and Miller. Happy hour goes from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with drinks and appetizers running from $1 to $6. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.skoshmonahans.com With its pictures of Irish castles and cocktail waitresses in tiny plaid skirts, Skosh Monahan's fits the description of an Irish pub. Befitting a bar inspired by the Emerald Isle, it's warm and inviting, even if it is owned by Costa Mesa Mayor Gary Monahan. The full bar is nicely outfitted with plush, cushioned booths surrounded by 12 plasma, flat-screen TVs beaming a variety of sporting events. Interestingly, the walls bear prints of famous starlets such as Audrey Hepurn and Liz Taylor. The beer selection here is ample with an assortment of micro brews, domestics and imports. Labels include: Ubita IPA, Blue Moon, Haywire Hefeweizen, Boddington's and Smithwick's. Happy hour is Tuesday through Friday 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and includes domestic pints at $3.75 and imports at $5.25. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
http://www.slidebarfullerton.com Take a stroll among the many watering holes in Downtown Fullerton on a Friday night and you'll be hard-pressed to find a bar with more rock & roll style than the Slidebar Cafe. Yes, it features two rooms where suicide-girl style bartendresses serve up cocktails along with imported and domestic draft beer. This is also one of the few downtown establishments presenting top-notch local and national rock acts of the punk, ska and hardcore variety. The walls of the bar are decked out with autographed rock memorabilia and lined with flat screen TVs.Be sure to check out the halls lined with pics taken by rock photographer Lisa Johnson. Images include No Doubt's Gwen Stefani with Warren Fitzgerald of the Vandals. Finer pints of beer, including Shock Top and Newcastle, cost $6, with lower-shelf fare such as Bud Light running $5. Happy hour is every day 3 p.m.-6 p.m. except Saturday. Sunday happy hour is 3 p.m.-9 p.m. and features half off draft beers and well drinks. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
Forest Lanes has offered bowling for more than 20 years but recently evolved into a multi-faceted entertainment emporium. Their bar, featuring the pun-tastic moniker Splits, is a watering hole with a bar worthy of a Lake Forest kind of crowd. The ultra modern room is decked out with classy tile floors and walls and faux-leather cushioned seats. In addition to the full bar, Splits also offers several flat-screen TVs, pool tables, beer pong, karaoke and a live DJ on Saturdays. They also offer up great prices on nightly drink specials making, this a great place to meet up for happy hour. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
