View Now | Hottest nightclubs to see and be seen in Hollywood
There’s no place quite like Los Angeles, especially if you’re in search of a great party. But in the 4,000 square miles of Los Angeles County, there are literally thousands of night clubs. So, how to choose? Luckily, we’re here to lend a hand.
From hidden hot spots off the grid to Hollywood icons on the Sunset Strip, for a memorable night out on the town check out one of these hotspots in the City of Dreams. This is StarMap’s “Top 6” list of best night clubs to be seen in.
1. Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails
Located on an iconic corner of the Sunset Strip, Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails represents a welcome evolution in cuisine and nightlife as West Hollywood’s latest hospitality experience. The atmosphere is relaxing yet luxurious. Hundreds of candles illuminate this sleek lounge, and the stunning vaulted copper ceilings lend the place an opulent feel. The trick to getting in? Make sure you show up early. The doorman always swears that there isn’t a guest list, but the place is known to fill up quickly every single night.
2. Greystone Manor
The brainchild of renowned promoter Bolthouse, Greystone Manor has been a lively Hollywood elite hotspot since opening in 2011. It is considered West Hollywood’s most exclusive supper club that lends the charm and allure of celebrity and classic Hollywood with state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and performances. The Manor boasts an intimate dance floor, two bars, and a gorgeous outdoor patio. Keep in mind that getting into this exclusive club is no easy feat. Just because your name is on the guest list doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed entry as the venue fills to capacity virtually every single night. If you want to score a prime location and secure the opportunity to mingle with starlets and waitresses in thigh-high boots, a bottle service reservation is the way to go. The $250 fee includes front-of-the-line access and a personal drink mixologist right at your table.
3. Winston’s
Resembling a modern-day speakeasy, this unmarked, timeless bar evokes Old Hollywood glamor with a crystal chandelier hanging over the the main floor and a smattering of oil paintings canvassing the walls. Although there isn’t much room for dancing, various DJs still spin vintage beats there seven days a week. And don’t let those generic-looking bar stools fool you. The clientele at this Hollywood icon is anything but ordinary. The club is regularly frequented by many of the most powerful agents, producers, and actors in town.
4. Viper Room
If it’s a killer concert you’re in search of, look no further than the Viper Room. This gritty club on Sunset Boulevard is nothing short of a legendary live music venue. It was formerly owned by Johnny Depp and made famous as the site where River Phoenix OD’d in 1993. Today it remains one of the most frequented Los Angeles rock hangouts for indie bands and mainstream performers alike. A word of advice: Many nights sell out, so buy your tickets well in advance.
5. The Standard
This trendy West Hollywood boutique hotel is renowned for its funky decor. Egg-shaped seats hang from the ceiling while a woman enclosed in a plastic cage sits reading a book in the lobby, ignoring any guests who happen to stroll by. This place is all about sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. It’s guaranteed to be a good time.
6. Opera
This is the perfect spot for a wild night on the town: There are dense crowds, a dramatic fog-laden entryway, elegant chandeliers, and an impressive sunken dance floor. With a bit of luck, you might even run into a celebrity or two in between tequila shots. Vibrant, glamorous, and celeb-filled, this club is a paparazzi magnet. The typical clientele? Women in very short skirts and executives with very fat wallets.
