Los Angeles, California

The Hollywood Improv is a comedy club where many of Hollywood’s greatest started off. Star comedians sometimes pop in to perform, and the stage also provides an opportunity for some of the less well-known to showcase their talents.

Described as sleek, stylish and unique, Elevate Lounge is a sophisticated LA nightclub with a fairly strict dress code. Enjoy the city view on the 21st-floor penthouse with a cocktail or hit the dance floor. Elevate offers a couple of bars and elegant VIP/private seating including secluded areas with ambient background music.

The Comedy Store is a front-runner when it comes to legendary comedy clubs. Its alumni make up a laundry list of high-calibre stars, among whom the likes of Dave Chappelle, Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Joe Rogan, the late Robin Williams — and the list goes on. Entry is fairly priced, especially considering each show includes several acts by celebrity and up-and-coming comics. Do mind there is a "two-drink minimum" order policy. Apart from the Hollywood location, there is now another one in La Jolla.

Let yourself be blown away by the craftsmanship of the mixologists at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Cocktails here are made with fresh farmer's market ingredients.

When entering at Tiki-Ti you might think you have come to a museum of Pop Polynesian culture. This family-owned bar has colorful and exotic items from all over the world on display. Here you can enjoy tropical drinks in a very small but cozy bar, in fact there are 94 tropical drinks on offer, most of which can't be found anywhere else.

This bar lives and breathes the 70s — DJs play classic 70s hits and guest musicians rock the stage. Enter through the secret refrigerator door and order a spiked snow cone — both are a must-do here!

At La Cita Bar party-goers can enjoy live music by local underground and indie rock bands, as well as weekly DJs playing Latin and dance music. This chilled dance club also offers an outdoor patio where you can mingle.

Offering some of the finest views of Los Angeles, Skybar is a chick rooftop bar with a poolside lounge. From the bar, pick an impeccably fresh cocktail and enjoy the beautiful sunset while the pulse is getting more vibrant as evening fall. Hollywood glamour and world-class Djs only adds to the seductive energy the place is oozing.
