The neighborhood around the nightclubs in downtown LA can be intimidating; only a decade ago this area was derelict and abandoned to the homeless and drug addicts. But a recent renaissance has changed the face of the heart of the City of Angels, and now 30,000 new residents plus a bevy of new art galleries, restaurants, bars and clubs call downtown LA home. The new vibe is young, artistic and progressive, and the nightclubs in downtown LA have answered the call of its new youthful populace with a collection of unique lounges and nightclubs.
First-timers should check out the Downtown LA Art Walk every first Thursday for a fun introduction to the neighborhood.
