Beneath the spotlights, sideshows and souvenir shops that blanket Hollywood lays a vibrant nightlife scene with a raging pulse. From velvet rope nightclubs to locals-only dive bars, an eclectic blend of glamour, mystery and excitement lends to Hollywood's longstanding allure. Revelers from all corners of the globe are encouraged to write their own Hollywood story, whether that means taking in set from a world class DJ at Playhouse, bar hopping along the Cahuenga Corridor, or lounging at Sadie. No matter where you go in Hollywood, once the sun goes down, you're sure to have a story to tell.

Hollywood's reputation as an upscale playground for celebrities and studio executives dates back to the early days of film. Stars would snooze at the Hollywood Hotel (currently the Hollywood and Highland Complex), dine at the Brown Derby and cozy up over cocktails at the still standing Frolic Room. And though Hollywood nightclubs and bars have seen incredible highs and heart breaking lows, this town simply bounces back every time.

Hollywood's current nightlife landscape is as eclectic and endearing as ever. There are a dozens electric Hollywood night clubs and bars, infamous for the unbelievably attractive crowd and knack for showcasing the nation's top DJs, with Bardot, The Avalon, Create and Supperclub LA pulling partyers in droves.

Despite Hollywood's obsession with youth and renovation, a few original hangouts still remain. Musso and Frank, the area's oldest restaurant, still serves Hollywood's elite after more than 90 years, with the recently opened bar, The Writer's Room, occupying the eatery's old backroom. The Hollywood Roosevelt, home to gaming parlour and lounge The Spare Room and restaurant Public Kitchen and Bar, is still a hit with young tastemakers.

For something a little more low key, head to the Cahuenga Corridor's army of eateries and lounges, including the rock star-worthy St. Felix and round-the-clock favorite Kitchen 24. Also on the corridor is indie venue Hotel Cafe, popular for highlighting rising singers and musicians on the quest for stardom. Fitting for a town that is famous for making dreams reality. - Shontel Horne

Interesting Facts

Cafe Montmartre was Hollywood's first high-profile nightclub. Just east of Hollywood and Highland, 6757 Hollywood Boulevard was the place to see and be seen in the 1920s, complete with starlets dancing on tables and strict door policies. Some things never change.

Elevate Lounge
811 Wilshire Blvd Los Angeles

Elevate Lounge in Los Angeles is one of the best clubs I've ever been to. The view from the 21st floor is great, as it reaches over downtown L.A. Well spaced and still cozy, the atmosphere is lively but not too loud. Purple lighting that fills the club helps with Elevate's well earned style. The custom Absolut LA drink served there with lemon is one of the best had. Ever! 5 stars!
