Circus Disco

circus disco

The holidays are party season — and Hollywood knows how to throw a party. If you’re in HOllywood on a Saturday, try the Circus Disco / Spundae. The club has a different DJ every week, usually the top in a particular industry: progressive house, trance, techno, breakbeat. The dance flour is immpressively large, and there’s a smaller room with new, local talents. (The two rooms are connected by the lounge on the second floor.)

The disco is located at Santa Monica Boulevard. Check out the for more information. Dance the night away!

Best Hollywood Clubs Part 1

Hollywood has some of LA’s hippest and most happening party scenes — and not just because of the celebrity sightings.

While the “hot spots” change every few months (partygoers tend to tire of a place pretty quickly) some places have earned the loyalty of stars, moguls and the regular LA residents.

The Room

The music is amazing, thanks to a fantastic list of DJs. Go here on a Tuesday. Might be hard to find this place, though — just go to Cahuenga between Selma and Hollywood. Look fora blue building with an orange awning. Then, walk to the back and ask for the doorman.
1626 N. Cahuenga Blvd. (323) 462-7196

Opium Den
The hang out of young alterna-rockers. Monday’s the best day, since it’s the local radio station KROQ’s “Zeke’s Backyard” night.
Burgandy Room, 1621 1/2 N. Cahuenga Blvd. (323) 465-7530
Opium Den, 16051Ž2 N. Ivar Ave. (323) 912-0636

Daddy’s

Best place to get a drink… and to find a date. Bartenders are really friendly, and you may be able to meet someone interesting while waiting for your order.
1610 Vine. (323) 463-7777.

The Frolic Room (Hollywood and Vine)
Go here after the theater show ends. Love the wall paper mural that features the stars of Old Hollywood. But if you feel Marilyn Monroe’s talking to you, you know you’ve had enough.
6245 Hollywood Blvd. (323) 462-5890.

Restaurant by day, bar by night. It keeps its interest factor up by changing themes each night — attracting different crowds. “Nubar” night attracts the 30somethings, while the cool martini night draws the younger partygoers. Run by the same people behind Sunset Room, a favorite celebrity hangout.
6714 Hollwood.(323) 463-0000.

Cat ‘N Fiddle

One of the Rolling Stones favorite pubs. Mostly male crowd, with a laid-back vibe that locals love. Best drink is the Snake Bite.
6530 Sunset.(323) 468-3800

Merix

Known for its margarita selection and other frozen drinks (that’s why the crowd tends to gravitate here on Sunday afternoons). Is largely known to be a gay hangout.
8350 Santa Monica Blvd., #210. (323) 848-2450

Les Deuz Cafe

A casual French bistro reputed to be the hangout of stars like Cameron Diaz, Sharon Stone, Jerry Seinfeld and Lenny Kravitz.
1638 N. Las Palmas Ave. (323) 465-0509.
