Nightlife + Dining
It wouldn’t be LA without exclusive nightlife, and Loop Magazine is here to navigate the scene with you. We’ve got the intel on engaging stories from crowded clubs, chill bars where singles can mingle, delicious dining experiences, and live music! Essential to Loop’s targeted storytelling, our suggestions for nightlife venues vary depending on age and taste, but, regardless, we’re sure to guide you to the luxury you deserve. Click below to spend the night with Loop Mag.
Hottest Hotel Bars
Fall is cuffin’ season, after all, and September is certainly upon us. Los Angeles boasts some of the hottest hotel bars from the coast to I-605, and in true West Coast fashion, their cocktail venues are visually stunning and bubbling with ambiance.
Saturday Night in Los Angeles with Jacqui
Planning a night out in LA sometimes feels like shopping in Kim Kardashian’s closet. With so many options, where do I start? Not to mention, there seems to be a new spot opening every month. And of course, you need to plan ahead, reservations and all. In New Zealand and Australia, we used to roll up to a venue at midnight after having drinks at some house party.
Las Perlas: The Best of Oaxaca Right Here in Weho
Though my Loop Magazine features have been littered with recommendations for mezcal cocktails from various LA venues, I have yet to review an actual mezcal bar. Well, it’s about damn time, and what better place to start than with Las Perlas WEHO.
Saturday Night in Los Angeles with Clea
Since I moved to Los Angeles when I was 21 years old, I’ve loved the nightlife. At that age, and for the following four years, I couldn’t wait until the clock neared midnight and the clubs came alive.
A Night at The Victorian: LA’s Most Poppin’ ‘House’ Party
I’m all up for trying new places and always ready to explore the many unique spots that LA has to offer. So, when I was asked to check out The Victorian, I was like sure – it’s been a while since I had a proper night out. Plus, The Victorian is currently one of the IT spots for nightlife and touted as ‘the new Bungalow,’ so I also had to see what all the fuss was about!
Marketer Turned Mogul: Ingrid Best Makes her Mark with Launch of iBest Wines
Remember when Diddy sent Dnice a full bar stocked with Ciroc and DeLeon, exemplifying the resurgence of luxury gifting to anybody who was anybody during a time in the pandemic when we couldn’t actually be together with the way we wished? That was Ingrid.
The Pier House: Revamped and Reopened
While the venues on Rose or Abbot Kinney provide a chic backdrop for a GNO or date night, the bars on Washington Blvd are cool and casual – from funky, dive style to DJs with light shows. But recently, Venice’s most coveted reservation is at The Pier House, which reopened this June with a fresh interior and fun new menu.
A Miracle on Melrose
Now, E.P. & L.P., Catch Steak, and Melroseplace LA are all a hop, skip, and a jump away, located
near the intersection of Melrose and La Cienega.
Sparrow: When the Ambiance and Food Align
I pulled up my expansive list of LA hot spots and found the relatively new Sparrow, located in the historic and gorgeous Hotel Figueroa and serving up modern coastal Italian – yes, please!
LA’s Best Craft: A Cocktail City Tour
Although I find all these to be crucial parts of the nightlife experience, one of my favorite aspects would have to be the cocktails. There is nothing I love more than a crafty mixed drink that is sweet, strong, and instagrammable.
Best Queer Scenes of WEHO
Although it can be difficult to find LGBTQ+ based venues in most parts of the country, this is definitely not the case for Los Angeles.
