Larchmont

Compared to Hollywood hot spots like Ivar and White Lotus, Larchmont is more bland than grand in design, yet still manages to find a niche in the prodigious L.A. nightlife scene. Last known as rock dive Martini Lounge, the club benefited from a thoroughly modern makeover. A velvet rope separates the VIP lounge from the multileveled dance floor in the main room. You can order sushi from here or from the sushi bar in the back corner. DJs spin hip-hop and house as gyrating go-go dancers do their thing. Spotlights shine from all corners, including the square-shaped bar.
