10 Overall Closest Nightlife
Harvelle's
(Nightlife - Live Music)
1432 4th St, Santa Monica  90401 • 310-395-1676
Distance: ~0.37 mi *
        Description: SANTA MONICA. Small, dark, and handsome, Harvelle's is one of LA's favorites for live blues. The striking black-and-white décor complements the music, and highlights the stage with its deep red curtain backdrop. Regular special events are always popular, so you may want to arrive early to secure a seat. Whether you prefer the cutting edge sounds of new artists or more traditional riffs from established musicians, you're sure to hear something great!

McCabe's Guitar Shop
(Nightlife - Live Music)
3101 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica  90405 • 310-828-4497 • 310-828-4403
Distance: ~2.56 mi *
        Description: SANTA MONICA. Guitar shop by day, intimate live music mecca by night, McCabe's is one of metro LA's best bets. The decor is stripped down and basic – folding chairs and a makeshift stage – and no alcohol is served, but you really won't mind. The list of past performers is amazing and eclectic – Tom Waits, Cowboy Junkies, They Might Be Giants, Robyn Hitchcock, Bob Mould, Arlo Guthrie, Shawn Colvin, Ray Manzarek, T-Bone Burnett, Nerissa & Katryna Nields, Liz Phair, Mose Allison, Michelle Shocked, Richard Thompson, Evan Dando, Linda Ronstadt, John Lee Hooker, Vince Gill, and Tom Paxton, to name but a few. The first Sunday of each month is open mic night, and family-friendly performances are often scheduled.

NineThirty
(Nightlife - Bars)
930 Hilgard Ave W Los Angeles Westwood, Westwood  90024 • 310-208-8765
Distance: ~4.68 mi *
        Description: WESTWOOD. The focal point of this elegant New American restaurant is its 12-foot white sandstone bar, topped with teak wood; behind the bar, an ice-blue backlight illuminates a wood screen, producing a bamboo pattern. This statement of minimal, clean design is echoed throughout the restaurant's interior, as well as on the pleasant stone patio, which absorbs overflow from the relatively small bar. The singles scene is very much alive, so grab a flute of champagne or a minty mojito and get mingling. While there's no late night menu at the bar, nearby Whiskey Blue serves appetizers until last call at 1:30am.

The Champagne Bar
(Nightlife - Bars)
701 Stone Canyon Rd Hotel Bel-Air, Bel-Air  90077 • 310-472-1211
Distance: ~5.75 mi *
        Description: BEL AIR. With its inviting fireplace, cozy environs, and baby grand piano, the bar at the Hotel Bel-Air is definitely not for heavy partiers. Indeed, a more sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere would be hard to find in the city. Whether you're dining at the Bel-Air or not, the lounge is always a terrific place to frequent for aperitifs or for after-dinner drinks. Live piano music played nightly helps create just the right atmosphere, too.

Wine lovers appreciate the vast selection of labels, which range from affordable varieties to vintages that are pricey but memorable.

Polo Lounge

9641 Sunset Blvd Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills  90210 • 310-276-2251 • 310-887-2777
Distance: ~6.77 mi *
        Description: BEVERLY HILLS. Try as you might, it's nearly impossible to name any place in Beverly Hills that packs in as many dealmakers and power brokers as the Polo Lounge. The bar is actually a piece of Hollywood history thanks to its roster of past and present patrons. Treat yourself to a martini or any other drink from the full list of cocktails, beers, and wines – you'll most likely leave with just as many memories of the atmosphere as of the drinks. Service is impeccable even if you're not a star.

(Nightlife - Lounge)
20356 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu  90265 • 310-456-3010
Distance: ~6.83 mi *
        Description: MALIBU. Though this lounge demands a bit of a drive out of the city, those who make the trek are amply rewarded by a pleasant, open-air space that extends over the water, providing stunning views of surf and sun. DJs spin a mesmerizing accompaniment of chill house music six nights a week, attracting the hipster crowd but not alienating more mature patrons who simply want to enjoy a glass of wine and a beautiful seascape.
