Hungry for live music and neighborhood hangs? LA's scene lives in pockets — Hollywood and West Hollywood pulse with late-night energy while Silver Lake and Downtown serve the indie, laid-back crowds. You'll find full calendars at places like The Elysian Theater, Lodge Room and the Hotel Café, where most nights feel casual and social with a nightlife streak. Audiences skew adult and professional, with a sprinkle of families on weekend bills; most shows are ticketed, but there's usually a free option. Don't sleep on the city's museum-and-theatre backbone: from The Broad downtown to the Getty Center in Brentwood and LACMA on Museum Row, LA truly has more museums and theatres than any other U.S. city. Galleries, immersive art and evening performances mix the intellectual with the artsy. Pick a neighborhood, plan a day and let the next great discovery find you.
