Los Angeles Night Clubs

Here is a list of the best and the top Los Angeles Night Clubs, the most popular clubs in Los Angeles for music, dance, entertainment and Los Angeles nightlife.

The best nightclubs in Southern California are in the Los Angeles and Hollywood area. There are many, many nightclubs in Los Angeles, but don't expect to party until dawn in Los Angeles.

The California liquor laws require that bars stop serving alcohol at 2 PM, so by this time most clubs, bars, disco and dance clubs are closed for the night.

Since smoking is not permitted indoors in bars or restaurants, and all public buildings, by state law, most clubs offer outdoor smoking patios that are heated, if the weather is cool.
