Beaches WeHo
In the heart of West Hollywood, Beaches is a fashionable venue that mixes restaurant with lounge to create a thoughtfully put together experience that guarantees you a good time. All aspects are visually stunning and perfect for photos, and you can get lost in 80s disco nostalgia, neon lights, and jungle theme. The food is first-class, and speciality cocktails from two bars can be enjoyed either in the main room with the DJ or in the more relaxed VIP space.
Slammer
Gay cruising and socialising club with a playful atmosphere. It offers different playing facilities. The Slammer is a no-nonsense leather bar tucked away from the glossy West Hollywood scene. Dark, gritty, and unapologetically old-school, it draws a loyal crowd that prefers edge over polish. Expect strong drinks, loud energy, and a vibe that feels raw, intimate, and a little rebellious.
The Boulevard Bar
Pasadena's friendly neighbourhood bar with weekly drink specials, karaoke, and fabulous drag shows. This bar is proud its history and the work it has done in the fight for equal rights, so it continues to support the queer community and provide a space where everyone can be assured that they are safe and welcome. Therefore, The Boulevard Bar is the perfect place to relax and have fun, with karaoke throughout the week and happy hour prices all night Monday and Tuesday.
Akbar
Located in Silver Lake, AKBAR believes in the power of rock and roll. The great music offered in this neighbourhood oasis nightclub and cocktail bar means it's still one of the most popular bars in LA 16 years after opening. The DJs in the dance room, the jukebox in the bar, plus cool staff, and potent cocktails make it a spot of choice. The bar is always packed with people of all types who keep coming back!
The New Jalisco Bar
A dive in the truest sense of the word, this no frills downtown LA bar boasts the cheapest drinks, a lively dance floor, regular drag shows.
