Dance, drink, and dine at this wildly popular nightclub in the heart of the gay-centric Arenas Road district. Socialize in the somewhat quieter front bar, where floor-to-ceiling windows let in scenes of the mountains, or the rowdier back bar, where DJs and other performers entice patrons to kick up their heels on the city's largest dance floor.

The younger sibling of L.A.'s oldest tiki hut (opened in 1958 in North Hollywood), Tonga Hut Palm Springs transports guests to Polynesia with an authentic tiki vibe, pupu platters, and tropical drinks. It's on the second floor of a building in the heart of the downtown strip—try to nab a table on the lanai where you can experience the action from above. The bar and dining area are also fun and lively spaces; ask about the telephone booth that leads to a secret room, available for private parties.
