Night Life
If you are really looking for a fantastic nightlife of which includes meeting up with some good-looking guys/girl, and having a good time, and such, then you might want to explore the Sunset Strip West, which starts from where L.A. and Hollywood meet, and ends at the ocean.
Somewhere in the middle of these two points, you will be happy to that continuous queue (line) of bars/pubs line the street on both sides.
On the other hand, if you prefer taking in an entertaining and often than not great live performance, then you would fair better by going online and going to Ticketmaster.com, there you can purchase tickets for all events coming to L.A., and so in advance.
You may also check in the LA weekly newspaper, as it contains a complete list of all major events, for instance, concerts, theatre shows, opera, and bar/pub scenes, etc.
Bars/Pubs
There's one thing Los Angeles will never lack, and that is the bar/pub scene.
No matter where in the city you may find yourself, you will never be that far from a bar/pub.
Aside from the following list of bars/pubs that will be mentioned below, a great deal of hotels, and clubs have their own little bars as well, which will be just perfect for you, if you are part of the bar/pub hopping crowd, taking in the numerous vibes of LA and sit back and watch it all unfold.
The House of Blues

It is situated in Hollywood, right on the boulevard, and it has been open since the early 1930's, and it is dimly lit and casual lounge with a gritty charm about it, especially since it was built into a 1902 Trolley Car
Sky Bar
By the way, if you are a true budget traveler, then you may want to look for another place to hang out, as it will break your wallet, and also they are quite selective on who gets in and who does not.This bar is situated in the Mandarine Hotel, and the ideal way of bumping into some truly rich people, and blockbuster making headlines, is by passing through a seemingly plain white gate.Now, like I said at first, if you are not either rich or have some of the latest fashion or chic clothes, then you may try and find a reasonable place. This is not an affordable venue by any means.
