Painted in a deep red and adorned with Chinese lanterns, this Asian-inspired DJ lounge has become a hub for beat junkies who consider music a religion.

From the same people who own the Moroccan-inspired Zanzibar in Santa Monica and the Shanghai-styled Little Temple in Silver Lake, Temple Bar brings in respected local and international DJs who spin a mix of music that ranges from world to hip-hop to funk. If live music is not the night's agenda, multi-culti hipsters drink fancy cocktails at the bar or chill out in the billiards room. —Alexandra Le Tellier
