Exploring the jungle of LA's nightlife can be great fun. everyone you meet claims to be either a rock star or in the movies. even the quietest venue offers a chance to eavesdrop on a bit of apid Less Than Zero dialogue; the most raucous ones will take your breath away. In all the pubs, clubs and discos, you'll need to be 21 and will almost certainly be asked for ID.

The best sources of listings are LA Weekly and the "Calendar" section in the LA Times on Fridays.
