/in /by

The H.Wood Group’s throwback-style revamp gives the lounge a decidedly Palm Springs feel.

Throwback menus and vintage decors are all the rage across Los Angeles right now, and the redone Bootsy Bellows is certainly no exception. The longtime West Hollywood hotspot returns to life today, sporting a lush glassy and green interior for the all the club-goers in the Hollywood Hills.

Bootsy Bellows has been in operation, with a few updates and decor tweaks here and there, since 2012. It’s become a staple property for the busy H.Wood Group co-owners John Terzian and Brian Toll, as well as partner David Arquette. Even as the company continues to move further and further into hotels and restaurants, their original backbone remains in the nightlife space with places like Bootsy Bellows, Poppy, and the Peppermint Club.

The new Built, Inc.-designed bar and lounge comes in a rosy pink hue, with lots of plush banquette seating and light green accents, including lots of house plants inside. Chandeliers and a reflective main bar give the room a vintage Hollywood shimmer, while modern table bottle service draws in the current crowds.

Bootsy Bellows reopens tonight, keeping hours on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturdays.

Union Nightclub in LA Rebranding as Catch One

/in /by

The club will host its official re-opening party on October 14 with Kelela as the headliner.

Los Angeles nightclub Union is rebranding as Catch One to celebrate its rich history as a safe-haven for LBGTQ people of color in LA.

The club originally opened as Jewels Catch One in 1973 by businesswoman and activist Jewel Thais-Williams. She had to keep it open though systemic racism, the AIDS epidemic, an arson attack and much more that attempted to take down one of the first black gay discos in the United States. It would host the likes of Madonna, Donnna Summer, Whitney Houston, Rick James and Luther Vandross over the years.

The new rebrand will try and tie the club back to that rich history and will expand its palate for music on offering each night. It will book events that feature music from heavy metal to hip-hop, dance and soul, funk, and jazz..

Following the rebrand, the club will have the One Archives Foundation on Sunday, October 14 for QUEER NOISE, the official launch party for their membership program. It will feature live music, DJs, comedy and a headline performance from Kelela — all across three rooms. Tickets for the event can be found here.

Jerry Brown Vetos 4 AM Nightlife Bill

/in , , /by

Governor Jerry Brown vetoed the Late Night Bar Bill, or Senate Bill 905 last week on Septmeber 28. SB 905 would have adjusted the last call time to 4 a.m. in the cities of Los Angeles, Long Beach, West Hollywood, Palm Springs, Oakland, and San Francisco.

Governor Brown added comment in a letter to the California Senate, where he shared the reasons for turning down the law:

“Without question, these two extra hours will result in more drinking. The business and cities in support of this bill see that as a good source of revenue. The California Highway Patrol, however strongly believes that this increased drinking will lead to more drunk driving.”

Three Clubs’ co-owner Marc Smith, is baffled by Brown’s decision. Smith believes there’s something missing in the governor’s statement, and the state and businesses will miss out on extra revenue. “Does he have an alcoholic relative or something?” asks Smith. “I’m shocked that he would go out on something like that. I thought he’d be more progressive. As long as its regulated properly, this should be law.”

Smith adds that there’s a significant difference between last call at 1:30 a.m., and at 3:30 a.m. “At 1 a.m., there’s a sweet spot. The bar gets really busy, there’s a rush for last call, then we kick people out. At 1:30 a.m., they’re amped and excited, and still want to hang out. But by 3:30 a.m., they’re ready to go home.”

What Cities in the US Have Nightlife Past 2 AM?

/in , , /by

While quite a few cities across America have nightclubs and bars that are open past 2am, Las Vegas, New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami are the four nightlife capitals of the U.S., if not the entire world. Each of these cities boasts nightlife venue variety for all kinds of musical, ethnic, and socioeconomic tastes numbering in the several hundreds, with new ones popping up every day.

It is true that most L.A. nightclub venues stop serving alcohol at around 1:30am and close at 2am, but there are few that stay open past 2am until 3–4am – specifically, Academy, Exchange LA, and Avalon. In Las Vegas, New York, and Miami, most nightclubs stay open well past 3am, with the hottest and most popular ones going until 5–6am. There are a couple venues in each city that stay open til dawn, such as Space Miami, and Drai’s After Hours.

For those of you night owls visiting a major U.S. city to do some partying, the Discotech app is an essential planning tool for seeing how late your selected clubs will be open. You can use our app to browse club and pool party events by specific days of the week, holidays, or dates you’ll be in town. Then, you can even take the next step within the app, using its features to buy tickets, sign up for guest lists, or even reserve tables if you’re feeling super-fancy. The app event info refreshes daily, pulling from various entertainment online resources including the official websites of the clubs themselves, so it’s always current, accurate, and in the know. We are live in the four aforementioned top-tier cities and six other second-tier markets in the U.S., and we work with nearly 200 nightlife venues, including every one of the Top 10 nightlife venues mentioned in the Forbes list and 95% of the list’s Top 100.

Best Rooftop Pools in LA – Summer 2018

/in /by

It’s no secret that LA has some of the best summer hotspots. From beautiful beaches to splashy pools, there are ample Instagraming opportunities. Here, we’re rounding up five of the hottest rooftop pools in the city all boasting luxe amenities and dreamy views.

London West Hollywood

The London just unveiled its summer rooftop programming, Boxwood on the Roof, and it’s a good one. The series includes Ice Cream Sundays serving up exotic flavors (think popcorn and cookie monster oreo cookies), Tuesday Crystal Cocktails featuring drinks inspired by different stones, and live music Wednesdays. Executive chef Anthony Keene has also crafted a fun summer menu that includes oysters, hand rolled sushi, miso brass crostini, ginger chicken meatballs, grilled salmon fillet, and avocado toast.

SLS Beverly Hills

The SLS Beverly Hills’ Altitude Pool is a gorgeous oasis that will quickly become a go-to favorite spot during the summer. The plush vibe is so LA and the elevated fare by chef José Andrés such as Pacific ahi tuna ceviche and crab cake sliders is the icing on the cake. Weekends are especially lively on the rooftop pool with a DJ spinning beats on the deck. For the ultimate pool lounging experience, we suggest opting for a cabana.

W Hollywood

If you’re in the mood to get your party on, the W Hollywood’s rooftop pool and bar is definitely the spot for you. You and your squad can book a cabana or a daybed and enjoy the sunshine, views, and upbeat vibe for the day. Friday through Sunday from 1pm-5pm is when the DJ starts spinning and the party gets started. Book tables for Wet Hollywood on the Discotech app!

Montage Beverly Hills

Private poolside cabanas, lush landscaping, and awe-inspiring views of the city are just some of the reasons the Montage Beverly Hills’ rooftop pool stands out. Cabanas feature flat screen TVs, magazines, complimentary wifi, a fresh fruit bowl, drinks, and appetizers from The Rooftop Grill, which is perfect if you’re celebrating a birthday or a bachelor/bachelorette party. If you’re looking for a more relaxed rooftop pool experience, go for the Tranquility package, which includes a discount for a spa treatment, a crudite starter, and a cold-pressed juice sampler.

Peninsula Beverly Hills

Have your phone ready because the Peninsula Beverly Hills’ rooftop pool is definitely a scene you’re going to want to Instagram. The Century City skyline serves as the backdrop and the sparkling pool beckons on a hot LA day. Meet your friends here and together you can sit back in plush lounge chairs, sip cocktails or a smoothie, and enjoy a light bite.

Skybar at the Mondrian

Boasting some of the finest views of Los Angeles, Skybar is an open air, ivy covered pavilion perched above the pool at Mondrian LA.

Having been the spot for the hottest nightlife and bar scenes from the day it opened, Skybar’s newly re-imagined design brings a fresh approach to this iconic space. A chic poolside lounge by day, Skybar provides an idyllic oasis to take in the sun and enjoy impeccably fresh cocktails. When the sun sets, the pulse of Skybar beats even louder, stirring a seductive energy, aroused by world-class DJ’s and Hollywood glamour. Book tables and see upcoming DJs at Skybar!

Skybar is private to hotel guests everyday until 1PM.

洛杉矶夜店攻略 － 嘻哈篇

/in /by

最近国内节目“中国有嘻哈”牵起了一股嘻哈风，美国这边的嘻哈风气亦逐渐盛行，在电台节目或是大型运动比赛里都有嘻哈音乐的踪影。要真正感受洛杉矶里的夜店文化，嘻哈趴是绝对不能错过的。身在洛杉矶的您，快来看看城里最受欢迎的嘻哈夜店。

1 OAK LA

随着电音的冒起，顶级的嘻哈夜店已经越来越少。不过1 OAK 这个夜店品牌却屹立不倒，在洛杉矶、拉斯维加斯和纽约三大城市都有分店。时尚的设计和一流的服务是1 OAK 最大的卖点。就算不是经常有顶级的DJ坐镇，这里也是城中嘻哈爱好者的必然之选。加上这里不时会出现荷里活的A级明星，喜欢嘻哈和荷里活电影的您，快到这嘻哈夜店之王看看吧！Discotech现正提供1 OAK LA每星期五的免费Guestlist，有兴趣的朋友可以按以下的链接登记！

The Argyle

The Argyle主要分为酒吧和夜店两个部分。楼下的酒吧没有震耳欲聋的音乐，也灯光也比较通明，与楼上的夜店区形成强烈对比。The Argyle的老板在访问中提及夜店的设计主要想让客人可以随时到楼下的酒吧交谈，不用每次都对着对方的耳朵大喊。因此酒吧餐单上的鸡尾酒都是经过精心挑选和设计的，确保客人在休息的时候都能得到最好的补充。

Bootsy Bellows

曾是Trousdale Lounge的Bootsy Bellows由演员David Arquette一手创立，而店名是根据其母亲名字改的。2015的装潢将这里变成一家金碧辉煌的高级夜店，无论是服务和环境都是城中数一数二的。因为老板是名人，光顾这夜店的大多是富豪或明星。如果想看看荷里活明星的风采，记得来这边逛逛哦。不过男士的话，就可能需要订台才可以进去了。

Elevate Lounge

Elevate Lounge是城内比较特别的一家夜店。它位于市中心某高楼大夏的21楼，跟其他开在地面的夜店有着鲜明的对比。它窗外的景色俯瞰着市中心各式各样的高楼大夏，在霓虹灯下更能特显出洛杉矶的天际线，光是这个景象已经值回票价。场地方面，摩登的设计配上已白色为主的家具和墙壁，让Elevate能轻松融入市中心这个商业区。有兴趣的，这里10点半前都是免费入场的，而且是城里订台价钱较为低的夜店。

Hyde Sunset Lounge

晚上10点前的Hyde Sunset是一家高级餐厅。分针转到12的一刻，这里马上变成荷里活最豪华的夜店之一。由于地方比较小，而且价钱昂贵，所以光顾这里的大多是名人或富豪。每个星期一是嘻哈之夜，DJ会轮流播放经典和现代的嘻哈歌曲。到了周末，更会有著名DJ的演出，是嘻哈爱好者的天堂。想到Hyde走一趟的，要注意这里并不售卖夜店门票，想进去就要订台和卖酒哦。

Warwick

Warwick基本上是一家放满高级家具的旧货仓。暗淡的灯光配上红砖和火炉，却发出一种特别的吸引力，无损其高级夜店的身份。这里可是城里最难进的夜店之一，大部分派对都不设门票。想进去就得订台，或在门口碰碰運氣，但是保安通常只让美女进去。订台是常客们的必然选择，不过酒吧的饮料都由高级酒保调制，素质有所保证。Warwick有时候会请来有名的嘻哈DJ，谨记留意Discotech APP以获得最新信息。

Exchange LA （LA 市中心）

Exchange的前身是洛杉矶股票交易所。从2010年开业起一直是洛城里最好的电音夜店之一，世界排名更直逼40。四层高的Exchange可以容纳1500人、拥有6个酒吧和全城夜店里最多的洗手间。顶级的DJ包括Armin Van Buuren、Dash Berlin、Don Diablo等都曾在这里演出。每个周末排队进Exchange的人都会堵满整条街，所以记得尽早购票（留意Discotech独有的优惠代码）。

Academy （荷里活）

2017年12月31日 R3hab新年派对结束的一刻正式为Create的夜店生涯画上句号，取而代之的将会是Insomniac和Exchange联合创办的Academy。Academy的开幕秀会在1/12举行，由Krewella担当DJ。Benny Benassi、DVBBS、TNT等名DJ都会在接着的两星期在Academy打碟，千万别错过哦。不过现时Academy的网页和社交平台还没有透露太多改名后的变动，请大家拭目以待。

Avalon （荷里活）

Avalon在2003年由音乐厅成功转型成为夜店，自此可算是荷里活夜生活的地标之一。定期举行的18+／19+ 活动为Avalon带来了不小较年轻的面孔，是很多洛城大学生的首选。随着Avalon的客源不断增加，被请来演出的DJ也一个比一个出名。当区内大部分夜趴在凌晨2点已经结束的时候，Avalon这边还是播放着强劲音乐，一直开到3／4点。

Sound （荷里活）

Sound播放的主要是deep house／techno这一类地下音乐。这里的Funktion One音响系统绝对能让你感受到震撼，是一套世界各地很多夜店都引以为傲的利器。比起区内其他夜店，Sound算是比较小的一家，不过这样也代表里头的人们能亲密一点。如果跳舞跳饿了，大门旁边的小café有各式各样的小吃让您选择。Discotech长期提供免费的Sound宾客名单，要登记就赶紧下载我们的APP吧！
