Friday Night Clubs

The work week is over! Rock the dance floor like you rocked those Excel spreadsheets.

Please note: Promoters are sometimes flaky and cancel events at the last minute, or take a week off, or disappear without warning. Clubbers are advised to call the venue before heading out.—Alexandra Le Tellier

 

1.

PYT Fridays at Jimmy's Lounge

If you like Dance Right's parties at La Cita on Thursday nights, you'll also love this stylish night hosted by MFG and GracieCakes. RSVP to pytfridays@gmail.com

2.

Chocolate Bar at The Echo

One of the few clubs that really feels like a house party, this club night houses an arty, laid-back crowd that's as multi-flavored and -hued as the rhythms on the decks.

3.

Firecracker at Grand Star

Whip out the glow sticks for this dance party every first, third and fifth Friday of the month, where old school, new school, hip-hop, house, jazz fusion and electro coexist in blissful unity.

4.

Miss Kitty's Diskotek and Electro Cabaret at Dragonfly

Scantily clad go-go dancers (male and female) writhe to new wave and electroclash while the Grande dame of the party, Miss Kitty, brings lurid fantasies to life with weekly stage shows that have featured female mud wrestling, kinky circus acts and a surprise striptease by Dita Von Teese.

5.

Fridays at M Lounge

Promoters Ryan Silver, Azzurro Milan and Michael Utsinger pack the ultra-lounge with Industry kids and MTV’s most-talked-about reality stars (yes, that girl on the couch was probably on “Laguna Beach”) as DJs Mike Palmeiri and Dax spin '80s, rock and hip-hop. Email rsilver@silverlionpro.com to get on the list.

6.

Knobturnal at Mountain Bar

Every third Friday of the month, Russell Vare (AKA DJ 100lbs) takes over this hip Chinatown bar for a night dedicated to local DJs, artists and bands. Aww. There’s no cover or guest list either. Double aww.

7.

Melt at Tiger Lily

Local DJs Isaiah Martin and Architects of Sound are joined by big timers Kaskade and Jay-J to fill this intimate spot with powerful beats. RSVP to meltparty@gmail.com.

8.

Spider Club Fridays

The weekly 10pm-2am promotions at this A-list spot change often. But DJ Sweet P is always there after 2am for an after-hours dance party that goes until 7am.

9.

Clockwork Orange at The Ruby

Madonna's first incarnation lives on forever at this '80s night for the 18-plus set. Robert Lockerby plays post-punk in the main room, while Bruce Perdew gets the crowd going to pop and rock in the back room. The front room belongs to Amanda Jones' industrial and goth tunes. The party goes on until 3am.

10.

Private at Holly's

DJ Gomez Warren spins hip-hop, R&B and old school for a crowd that's the who's who of LA's streetwear scene.

11.

Club Red at Arena

International DJ superstars like George Acosta headline this high-energy night of bass beats and trance that goes until 4am.

12.

Darker Shadows Macabaret at Bordello

Magicians, knife throwers, whip artists, exotic dancers and mentalists are among the rotating cast at this Vaudeville inspired night in Downtown’s sexiest bar.

13.

Club 82: Calling All DJs at Avalon

Members from bands like Louis XIV, Secret Machines and We Are Scientists join resident DJs Paparazzi, Mr. White and Sean Patrick for an indie rock dance night that goes from 10pm to 3am every third Friday of the month.

14.

Jon Brion at Largo

A dinner reservation ensures a table from which to see the Albert Einstein of music create original symphonies on one Friday a month. (His very famous friends often stop by to jam.)

15.

Popstarz at The Factory

Fun, low-key gay guys who'd rather dance than preen at the Abbey flock to Popstarz, which always has way-cheap drink specials and cheesy pop music.
