“This Irish bar feels like a true local hangout—welcoming, familiar, and full of character. On most nights, it transforms into a lively spot showcasing emerging performers, which adds a fun, energetic edge. I often drop by for a drink, catch a game on the TVs, and enjoy the laid-back neighborhood atmosphere. Every now and then, I’ll plan a visit around a live performance, and it never disappoints. It’s the kind of place that balances great entertainment with the comfort of a classic community pub.“

“If you're looking for an old-school Hollywood nightlife experience, Plaza Nightclub and Dance Hall is a place you should definitely check out. 🌙✨

This club has a classic, dark nightclub atmosphere that really captures that vintage Hollywood vibe. The dance floor is huge, giving everyone plenty of space to dance and enjoy the music without feeling crowded. At the same time, there’s lots of seating around the floor, which makes it easy to relax, people-watch, and take in the scene when you need a break. 💃🕺

The customer service is excellent—the staff is friendly, attentive, and makes everyone feel welcome from the moment you walk in. One of the highlights of the night is the drag show, which is incredibly entertaining and full of energy. The performers really know how to engage the crowd and keep the party going. 🎤👑

The vibe of the place is beautiful, relaxed, and welcoming. It’s casual yet trendy, and very LGBTQ+ friendly, which makes the environment feel inclusive and comfortable for everyone. Whether you’re there to dance, watch the show, or just enjoy the atmosphere with friends, it’s a great spot to spend the night. 🌈

Overall, Plaza Nightclub and Dance Hall is a very welcoming club with great entertainment, a spacious dance floor, and a fun, friendly crowd. A great place to dance, unwind, and enjoy a classic Hollywood night out. 🎶🍸“

“Love, love, love! This place has the cutest vibe and great stuff! The charcuterie boards are so good! I’ve tried the cold brew as well very good! This time we decided to get rosé. They have a great wine selection and their staff are so sweet! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“Delicious and great service“

“The food is great and can’t forget the greatest service ever!!“

“Walked and found this little gem ❤️“

“Great place to have a cocktail from a great bartender. They also have DJ playing goth, punk, etc vinyl which is pretty awesome. I even made a few selections (Siouxsie and the Banshees) which they accommodated. So I really appreciated that and will definitely be going back.“

“This place is a haven for ALL of geekdom. As a fan of the show, Fatman Beyond, we HAD to visit the Scum and Villainy Cantina during our SoCal vacation. It was even better than we imagined! It was smaller than expected, but what it lacked in size, it made up for with ambience. It was obvious how much heart went into it's creation. You could see J.C. Reifenberg's passion for sci-fi/fantasy in the decor. In addition, the staff was so incredibly friendly, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The menu was creative and the food/drinks were delicious. To top it all off, Bamf Man, himself, came to our table and talked to us while we were there! Incredible experience! (Tell Jen we're sorry we kept you away from your work that night ?) - THE IOWA FAMILY ?“

“The Rendition Room is hands down my favorite spot in LA. From the moment you step through the hidden bookshelf door, it’s like you’ve been transported back to the 1930s…intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of mystery. But what really makes this place shine is Richy. He’s not just a bartender; he’s a mixologist in every sense of the word. Every drink he makes feels like it’s been crafted just for you. Beyond that, Richy’s warmth and sincerity are what truly set him apart. You’re not just another customer to him…he makes you feel welcome, like an old friend, every time you stop by. The Rendition Room nails it when it comes to atmosphere, cocktails, and overall vibe. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want a cool night out, this is the place. It’s a hidden gem that never disappoints.“

“It's a small dolphins bar. Glad we came, My boyfriend is a huge dolphins and heat fan. Everyone who came cheered on the dolphins and they won the game. Seats were filled and packed with dolphin fans! It was great. I found one seat at the bar and the owner Tony was really nice. Got me a beer right away and my friends came we enjoyed a pizza from Lucifers from down the st and enjoyed the night.

Parking: Parking is on the street. And you can find any spot nearby. It's not a far walk. Or behind the bar too..

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair accessible. Wide wall ways when entering the bar“

“Been here twice with my daughter - Got my husband the chai tea latte and I got the day dream, both delish. Great service everyone’s been super friendly. I even left my phone the second time and the girl came outside to give it back to me before I walked too far. Will be back!“

“Great with DJ music at Patio“

“I sometimes go on Mondays for karaoke. There's not a lot of gluten-free food, if you need that, but they do have great salad and are more than happy to work with you. The staff is friendly and you may get to meet Ben Onyx Dowdy from Abbott Elementary (among other things) because he usually runs the karaoke.“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“
