Best Place to Party on a School Night

For more than a decade, Chain Reaction has seen its share of big names cross the stage—either scheduled and sold-out shows or surprise appearances. Now, Orange County's premier all-ages venue is the place to play if all your band members are still in high school. Hosting shows every night (except Mondays) means the kids have a good excuse not to do their homework, but moms needn't worry: Chain Reaction's concerts start at 7:30 and end at 11 p.m., so little indie-rockers and screamo enthusiasts can make it home before curfew.
