L.A.'s nightlife has evolved into an exceedingly eclectic scene. The Whiskey-A-Go-Go has been one of the top nightclubs in Southern California since 1964. Located on the Sunset Strip, the Whiskey has hosted the likes of Hendrix, the Doors, the Byrds, Van Halen, and Nirvana over the years. Like the Whiskey, the Troubadour has become part of Los Angeles' pop music lore. Check out this venue to hear the top names among each generation's new musical heros.
Since its opening in 1993, the Viper Room has presented fans with a wide variety of artists — Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, Stone Temple Pilots, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, and Iggy Pop among the best. It is an intimate night club holding only 250 people, styled in the fashion of Harlem's great jazz clubs of the 1920s. The Avalon Hollywood (formerly the legendary Palace) carries on the tradition of launching careers and tours and hosting movie premiers and wrap parties.
Top blues clubs featuring top-name and up-and-coming players include the popular House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard and B.B. King's on the Citywalk in Universal City. The incomparable Marty and Elayne hold sway at the Dresden Room, just as they have since 1982.
If a little laughter suits your mood, the Comedy Store is known for its edgy brand of humor where comedians hold nothing back. Three separate showrooms offer continuous entertainment and separate admissions. For a place that showcases new stars and a few golden oldies, try the Laugh Factory. The venue's regular events range from Latino Mondays to open-mic Tuesday nights.
