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. More >>
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. More >>
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.

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. More >>
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. More >>
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.

Equal parts venue, boutique and gallery, eVocal is just one slice of the Costa Mesa art scene. With its relatively unintrusive wood-paneled exterior, once you make your way inside, you'll find a boutique hawking all sorts of handmade, one-of-a-kind goods, from clothing to jewelry. Hardwood floors then lead you to a performance space with art lining the walls. The small stage often hosts local favorites (hip-hop, rock, folk and more) and open mic nights. The best part, though, is the large, decorated outdoor patio in the back overflowing with artwork, allowing for freestanding bars during events. More >>
