California's nightlife is colorful and varied. It is for those who want to taste cocktails before the clubs open and for those who wish to go to discos and listen to live music. The following is a preview of some of the popular night entertainment joints in California.

Los Angeles

Hollywood Nightclubs: LA is well known as the city of the starry night, beautiful places for entertainment here are places like Hollywood and there is a list of the best clubs such as Avalon, Bootsy Bellows, Warwick, etc. These areas are popular for sightseeing since many celebrities visit these places often.

Rooftop Bars: If you're looking to chill out, rooftops such as Perch and Skybar are perfect for the ideal sunset cocktail martini encounter.

San Francisco

Historic Jazz Clubs: Being a historical city, San Francisco has been home to live music from the early days of its formation. Visit the still-famous Fillmore or have a beer at one of the numerous jazz clubs, for instance, the Black Cat.

Lively Neighborhoods: For example, the Mission district and North Beach are filled with bars and other dance clubs as well as other types of entertainment floors.

San Diego

Gaslamp Quarter: This historical area can be considered one of the main centers of San Diego’s nightlife with a plethora of modern bars, nightclubs, and rooftop terraces. The bar and lounges including such establishments as Altitude Sky Lounge and Omnia are worth revisiting.

Beachside Bars: If you prefer more of a ‘buying a beer and sitting at the bar’ type of night, then go to Pacific Beach or Ocean Beach for beach bars and casual pubs with ocean vistas.

Palm Springs

Resort Parties: Many people associate Palm Springs with a resort that has access to chic pool parties and sophisticated lounges. Just take a walk around such locations as The Saguaro or Ace Hotel & Swim Club and you will find many people around.

Downtown Clubs: Downtown features many rather active clubs and cocktails, where you can enjoy the performance of live musicians, as well as dance, and come by thematic evenings.

Sacramento

Craft Breweries and Bars: Sacramento comes alive at night, and this is much more focused on locally produced products such as beers and locally sourced meals and quite laid-back bars. This place is also famous for the night life since there are so many bars around and the live music all over Midtown.

Historic Districts: Another interesting experience for the night type is the Old Sacramento nightlife that consists of such riverfront bars and restaurants as Kingerly’s Irish Pub & Restaurant, The Waterboy, Colony & Seven, etc, which are open for live music.

Santa Barbara

Wine and Cocktails: Santa Barbara is famous for its up-scale atmosphere and comparatively early going; wine bars and wine-oriented cocktail lounges are the mainstays of what there is. The Funk Zone is one of the best-known and attracts a fair number of tasting rooms, breweries, and boisterous bars.

Long Beach

Beachfront Entertainment: It has an equal ratio of bars nightclubs and live music joints and is concentrated in the Pine Avenue and the Long Beach shoreline area. There is also a good place for evening entertainment in the Pike Outlets area.

Orange County

Upscale Lounges: Upmarket bars and live music joints: Newport Beach to Costa Mesa or, indeed, Orange County has plenty of ways to keep you looking for Mr. Right up all night. If the visitor wants to go out on the town and party, he or she should visit the hot spots, such as the Observatory or Time Nightclub.

Cafes, beach bars, rooftop structures, discotheques, or any kind of evening place, is just as diverse as the geographic area of California.California
