1212 (Santa Monica)

Hours:  Saturday: 11 AM – 2 AM

Starting off strong with one of our favorites… this gem: 1212 Santa Monica. 1212 is the best of both worlds. She’s the Hannah Montana of nightclubs if you will. During the week, you can experience a fun, delicious place to dine, and on Saturdays, you can experience upscale nightlife with some of Los Angeles’ best DJs. Did we mention that they host a killer brunch too?

Everyone’s raving about this new LA hotspot, so of course, we have to mention it! Mainro is a nightclub/restaurant located in the heart of Los Angeles, and it is a total Miami vibe, so if you’re an LA local who has always wanted to party in Miami, this is the place for you. Each entree is so beautifully presented, and will be sure to have your mouth watering. If you go, be sure to take lots of pictures because you won’t want to forget this experience!
