Little Temple
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
4519 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles  90027 • 323-660-4540
Distance: ~13.25 mi *
        Description: SILVER LAKE. Sister to Santa Monica's Temple Bar, this hip hangout features both live performers and DJs, not to mention an eclectic mix of tunes – from hip-hop to house, Latin to reggae. The emphasis is on good beats, usually chilled, low-key ones that complement Asian-inspired decor and an oversized bed where patrons drink and lounge. A small dance floor in front of the stage is a reminder of more frenzied nights – call ahead to see who's scheduled if you're in the mood for something to move to.

The Derby
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
4500 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles  90027 • 323-663-8979
Distance: ~13.84 mi *
        Description: EAST HOLLYWOOD. For 20 years, this place was home to Hollywood's famous Brown Derby and was the place to be seen if you were anybody at all. Its distinctive domed ceiling was covered up during the '60s when the building was a restaurant. Today though, the lofty space has been exposed anew, and the 1930s-era decor hearkens back to what might be called Hollywood's heyday. Music ranges from swing (with dance lessons) to rare grooves, alternative, goth, reggae, and jazz. A fun, unpretentious hangout.
