"High energy" is the mantra of Los Angeles club Nightingale Plaza and there's no doubt this is one of the hottest, most high energy nightlife scenes on the West Coast. Located at the intersection of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip, Nightingale jumps in with both feet and offers a little bit of everything, a fusion of cuisine, mixology, design, dancing and entertainment. And each of those elements is turned up to eleven for the adoring, rambunctious crowds.
The interior is designed to impress: feast your eyes on towering vaulted ceilings, two elegant bars that seem to stretch into infinity and multiple lounge areas swaddled in vintage leather, with plush velvet seating. There's also a quieter outdoor patio, if you want to smoke under the stars. Yes, this is bottle service central for Tinseltown. A state-of-the-art sound system and LED light show apparatus transforms this club into a mini-rave nightly. That kind of attention to technical detail attracts top DJ talent, including DJ Khaled, Steve Aoki and Skrillex, as well as celebs eager to indulge the hedonistic discotheque atmosphere.
Tips
Nightingale Plaza hosts LA's hottest DJs, one of its most frantic rave dance floors and a legion of celeb admirers - be prepared to reserve a bottle service table if you want to get in.
Last Word
This is beautiful people and cool kids central. Expect big lines and big credit card tabs. Dress code strictly enforced. Food is still a work in progress, so plan on eating before or hit one of the street hot dog carts after.
