Sunset Strip is in the heart of the city, and is where you will some of the most exciting and fashionable places to chill out and relax with a couple of drinks or to enjoy a wild time to the latest dance music.

One thing that is remarkable about Los Angeles bars and clubs is how they act as an extension of the meeting room, and you will frequently see suits around the tables chatting and making deals while the party happens around them.

If you prefer a more rough and ready or bohemian atmosphere, the best place to spend your evening is in Venice Beach. Here there are a number of legendary live music venues, which are amongst the best Los Angeles bars and clubs for music lovers. A particular highlight for many visitors is the chance to spend an evening out at the famous Whisky a Go Go in Venice Beach, which was one of the top clubs in the 1960s and is widely considered to be the Los Angeles equivalent of Liverpool’s famous Cavern Club.
