November 1 at 4pm (This weekend) +25
El Floridita Restaurant | Cuban Cuisine · Hollywood • $$
Dinner and a dance floor, Cuban style. Tony's Salsa Village turns Sundays at El Floridita into a full evening: a salsa lesson to loosen you up, a live band, and Ropa Vieja worth the drive.
November 12 at 8pm
The Teragram Ballroom · Westlake • $20
Bella Rayne Band takes over one of DTLA's favorite intimate rooms for an all-ages night of live music. Small room, big energy: every note lands and there's not a bad spot in the house.
Financial District • $$
The banana-shaped disco ball says everything: Palomino Bar doesn't take itself too seriously. Sip cocktails by the fireplace in this retro-modern hotel spot that feels like a playful escape from downtown chaos.
Highland Park • $$
Highland Park's anti-pretentious dance bar where strangers belt out No Doubt together and the crowd actually moves. Expect alt hits, themed nights, karaoke Tuesdays, and a huge smoking patio that feels like a backyard party.
Fairfax
Don't let the dive bar exterior fool you—Plaza Dance Bar serves up energetic drag performances with meringue and salsa beats, drawing loyal crowds to the Fairfax District for years.
Beverly Grove • $$$$
Lucia plates up the Black diaspora on one glamorous table: jerk lamb shank, wagyu patties, saltfish croquetas. Add a live DJ in the dining room and sorrel-spiked cocktails, and dinner becomes a party.

Choose one event, then keep dinner and anything afterwards in the same area. Tell me where you’re starting, how you’ll travel, and how far you’re willing to go. I’d leave some breathing room before the start time.
Check the programme at the Gil Cates Theater in Westwood for theatre, or Book Soup for author conversations and signings. Start with whose work interests you, then choose a date.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
