Does LA have cool SUPPER CLUBS for dinner and dancing?
[moved from General Topics -- The Chowhound Team]
Hello my fellow Chowhounders,
I was wondering if Los Angeles has decent supper clubs such as the ones they have in Montreal, Canada.
Where they serve a nice dinner. Then after a certain time, they clear the tables, and there's dancing (a really good, modern DJ)?
In Montreal, a similar place would be Time, Globe or Buona Notte.
Thanks!

Rudolpho's on Riverside (at Fletcher) in Silver Lake has decent food (a bit overpriced) and is supposed to be good for Salsa dancing (and I believe they have other music-themed dancing nights as well). I've personally only been for happy hour though - they have some good deals and a nice outdoor courtyard.

Funny you should ask - I was just looking at a new one online yesterday. It's the new Air Conditioned in Venice (they have AC bars in Santa Monica and San Diego), and this one is a supper club: http://www.airconditionedbar.com/locations_venice.html
I haven't tried it looks cool.

There's a new Cuban place on Pico...can't remember the name, but it's on the north side of the street in the vicinity of Maurice's Snack 'n' Chat (just a bit west of Fairfax). On Sundays, they have dance lessons until about 4:30 or so.

I am not a huge fan of supper clubs. I am more of an ultra lounge and tapas bar kinda guy, and LA has more of those than I can count. Check out this link
http://www.la.com/nightlife/guides/su...Many of these places are NOT DANCING places though.
PS: There are many many restaurants that are night clubs. I dont know if that counts though. Places like Area and Blue Velvet are simple examples.
Towne in manhattan is okay, but not a destination. "IF" you do go to manhattan beach, check out Chakra. It serves very good indian food and is a hot nightspot for the area.

The Derby? Music varies by night; check the calendar.

I love El Floridita - the food is great, not outstanding, but also not expensive. I think they had a Dancing with the Stars scene filmed there. The music and dancing are really fun! If you go early - at 8pm - you'll be finished with dinner when the music starts (around 9), but I noticed some people like to go later and eat a little, dance a little, etc.

Alas, in a town that once had hundreds of supper clubs - the pickings are now slim. For a while there was the wonderful Moonlight Tango Cafe on Ventura Blvd. but I'm pretty sure that's gone. I think your best bet if you don't mind cutting a rug with a lot of wild and crazy seniors is the Alpine Inn in Torrance. Great big bands and surprisingly good German food at very reasonable prices. You might also look at www.latimemachines.com which lists a lot of old restaurants that might have dancing.
