A Los Angeles dive bar with a no-frills attitude, The Airliner in Lincoln Heights is the city's go-to venue for forward-thinking electronic music and instrumental hip hop. Home to Low End Theory on Wednesday night, this gritty little club has a powerful sound system, and the beats that bounce off the ceiling turn latent fans into true believers.
An east side institution that plays host to the world-renowned club night Low End Theory, The Airliner in Lincoln Heights is a Grade A dive bar with cheap beer, a killer sound system and crowd that isn't pretending. Hollywood scenesters and girls in high heels will hate this place - but those looking for a low-key hangout with great music and a chilled-out crowd will appreciate The Airliner. The gritty venue has two bars, one upstairs and one downstairs, along with a small kitchen that pumps out churros and French fries. You'll also find a large outdoor area and upstairs smoking balcony, and since The Airliner has no backstage, guest performers always just hang out outside with the rest of the crowd. On Wednesday nights, The Airliner is home to Low End Theory, a popular club night famous for experimental electronic music and hip hop - the epicenter of the Los Angeles beat community. The club's immense sound system will turn your brain into mush, and the talented artists attracted to this venue belie its lowly dive bar stature. The Airliner's crowd is young (18+), diverse and in general, out for the music more than to see and be seen.

The Parlour Room is everything a local yearns for in a bar. The specialty cocktails are excellent and inventive. The inside is reminiscent of Old Hollywood charm and the outdoor area is ideal for chatting with a date or a friend by the burning brick fireplace. This place is so worth stepping off Hollywood Boulevard and venturing into the neighborhood. View

Dark and rough with a fun pirate theme, Redwood Bar and Grill in downtown Los Angeles is a dive bar with personality. Edgy and fun, the dark bar resembles a pirate ship and serves excellent pub food along with great happy hour specials and live punk and rock music every night of the week. View

Replete with waiters in trucker hats, old Western memorabilia on the walls, and a giant mechanical bull in the middle, Saddle Ranch has all the Western charm and Los Angeles charisma one would hope for. This world famous Sunset Strip joint is the perfect place to go this weekend for a different kind of fun. View

The Powder Room has just the right combination of exclusivity, funkiness and Hollywood snobbery to delight even the most jaded of bar hoppers. Stop by this awesomely weird spot on Cahuenga and grab yourself a delicious painstakingly handmade cocktail with some friends or coworkers. View
