    Default More Bars to Get Lost in LA

    Club Screwball @ The Parlour Club (7702 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood) Organized by Don Bolles, who was in the Germs if you care. It happens on Tuesday nights, the drinks are cheap, and there are usually attractive and horny people running around.

    Little Joy Tavern (Sunset Blvd., Echo Park) Go on Sundays. The DJs are always good and there are super-cheap drinks. Your basic hipster-scene, solid-bar situation.

    Golden Gopher (8th and Hill, Downtown) It’s hit or miss but they at least have a really good jukebox. Plus there’s a liquor store inside the bar so if it’s a good night, on your way out you can buy a bottle of vodka, a case of beer, a dominoes set, and some condoms.

    Barney’s Beanery (the original, in West Hollywood) They used to have “No Faggots Allowed” written on their matchbooks (not kidding). The vibe is very collegiate, making this a great place to either get into a fight or fuck a moron. Or both.

    El Carmen (8138 W. Third St.) They have 200 different types of tequilas and the place is entirely covered in Mexican wrestler memorabilia. There is a contingent of dorks in LA who love this Mexican wrestler bullshit. Actually, you know what? Fuck this place.

    The bar at the top of The Standard Downtown (550 So. Flower St.) As ridiculously hip and trendy as the Standard Hotel is, it’s sort of worth one $15 drink to hang out for a few minutes looking at the buildings of downtown LA and pretending you are in Blade Runner.

    Firecracker (1st, 3rd, and 5th Fridays of the month, The Grand Star 934 No. Broadway, Chinatown) This might be the best party in LA. It’s been going for five or six years. They play fucking every kind of music, everyone is down to dance and get crazy, the babe factor is completely off the f’ing chain, and you will actually forget you are in LA for a while.

    The Bigfoot Lodge (3172 Los Feliz Blvd., Los Feliz) When you walk in this place you are greeted by an eight-foot-tall Smokey the Bear holding a sign that says “Welcome to Sasquatch National Park.” The whole bar resembles the inside of a log cabin, with fake fires burning and everything. The one thing I can’t get over here is that a pint of PBR costs the same as a pint Guinness. WTF?

    The Fire House (Gower and Sunset) An illegal after-hours spot, where a Jamaican couple turn their home into a reggae club every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You walk up to the place and it just looks like a gate with lots of trees. You can’t even see the house. Then this Rasta guy comes and opens the gate for you, and you fumble your way through the darkness, following the smell of “ganj,” until you stumble through a beaded door into the house, where they’re playing reggae music that is actually good. There’s a dance floor and another room where people hang out and smoke ridiculous amounts of pot.

    Barcade (W. 2nd and Western, Koreatown) Tuesdays only. Basically, this is a speakeasy in somebody’s living room. They serve cheap drinks and feature a bunch of vintage video games like Spy Hunter and the original Punch Out. It’s super fucking fun, has really good DJs, and goes into the wee hours.

    I don't mean to flame a new member, but....

    a) this is the Strip Club Junkie Forum, and whether or not you are a junkie, a review of nightclubs (not strip clubs) in LA from an almost midwestern tourist's perspective seems more than a bit out of place (below suggestion excepted)
    b) you've never been to most, if any of these establishments. No one with that ass would write this pablum.
    c) you missed virtually all of the "regular" clubs any member of the blue site would be interested in.

    Instead, I offer the following reviews (based on my true experience and projected imagination) written from the (fictional) perspective of a 24 year old jaded LA stripper:

    No good screws or balls at this party. Too many over-the-hill former new wavers reliving their youth. Pass. Handfull of aging strippers at best. Place must also be in some German travel book. For the truly hotass german tourist girls, stick to the Venice clubs such as St. James.

    Beck was cool in high school. Get over it people. Next.

    (this above review is fucking clueless) Think Barfly (Rourke/Dunaway) meets Wall Street meets Animal House. Wanna score high end here go for the slutty lawyer look. Wear your best shoes and talk dirty. You'll have to wade through many retired frat boys and cock blocking paralegals, but worth a visit.

    The "vibe" is "coming down off a four day binge and craving greasy food." Where many of my friends have found current boyfriends. Pass.

    Never been, this might be an actual review.
    The bar at the top of The Standard Downtown (550 So. Flower St.) As ridiculously hip and trendy as the Standard Hotel is, it’s sort of worth one $15 drink to hang out for a few minutes looking at the buildings of downtown LA and pretending you are in Blade Runner.
    No quality stripper ever paid for a drink at this bar, unless she was buying it for another stripper. This is the replacement bar du jour for SkyBar. In you're interested in making a true splash at the Standard, wear a designer bikini under your dress and dive into the pool at an opportune moment. The supermodels will hate you. Just dont splash any pool water on anyone and you won't get thrown out. NO ONE comes here to look at buildings (brick houses excepted).

    Firecracker (1st, 3rd, and 5th Fridays of the month, The Grand Star 934 No. Broadway, Chinatown) This might be the best party in LA. It’s been going for five or six years. They play fucking every kind of music, everyone is down to dance and get crazy, the babe factor is completely off the f’ing chain, and you will actually forget you are in LA for a while.
    Never been, reputation is this is for hip Asian crowd.
    The Bigfoot Lodge
    Never been.
    The Fire House (Gower and Sunset) An illegal after-hours spot...
    BS. Illegal activities should not be posted by name anyway.

    Barcade (W. 2nd and Western, Koreatown) Tuesdays only. Basically, this is a speakeasy in somebody’s living room. They serve cheap drinks and feature a bunch of vintage video games like Spy Hunter and the original Punch Out. It’s super fucking fun, has really good DJs, and goes into the wee hours.
    Never heard of this particular place, but vintage video games in someone's living room is not my recipe for "super fucking fun." Koreatown, however, is full of new late night and after hours spots.

    This could have been a really entertaining post about a stripper's experience in regular clubs in a town like LA (or Dallas, Atlanta, NYC, etc.) instead of a Frommers guide puff piece.

    LA has any number of guides like "map of the stars homes" and "where to bump into celebrities". An appropriate post here would be "where strippers hang out after work" in LA, and why. This could be fun reading. I'm almost tempted to fabricate a whole story about it. Interested in collaborating Chili?

    For starters, #1 would be Boardner's in Hollywood....

    Sorry you did not find my list to your liking. However, it is true, I did rely on second hand information from my clients to compile this list. Again, my aplogies.
