It’s hard to imagine a city that’s better for parties than Los Angeles, home to the glitz and glam of Hollywood and the central hub for the U.S. entertainment industry for more than a century.
Part of the reason for LA’s thriving nightlife is the fact that the city has warm, sunny weather all year round, unlike many other cities, which means there are tons of outdoor party venues like rooftop bars and venues with pools to enjoy no matter the time of year. (New York City—perhaps LA’s number one competitor—definitely can’t compare when it comes to this particular metric, because the winters there are absolutely brutal.) And don’t forget how many amazing beaches there are to enjoy near LA, which some of our favorite outdoor venues in the city are on or directly adjacent to.
That’s why it’s no surprise that when you plan a festive gathering of any kind—whether or not you’re involved in entertainment yourself in some capacity—you have an incredible array of options available to you when it comes to party venues in Los Angeles, with choices to suit a variety of budgets, aesthetics, party sizes, and other needs and preferences.
