These 45 activities are worth leaving the house for.
Ask me what you're after.
Highland Park • $$
Highland Park's anti-pretentious dance bar where strangers belt out No Doubt together and the crowd actually moves. Expect alt hits, themed nights, karaoke Tuesdays, and a huge smoking patio that feels like a backyard party.
Valley Village • $$
This dark, tiny dive bar where they filmed Magnolia has become a Valley Village staple for cheap drinks, serious dart games, and Shyboy pizza pop-ups twice a week.
Hollywood
Singing bartenders pour shots while the whole room belts show tunes at this rowdy Hollywood piano bar. Expect spontaneous rap battles, group singalongs, and texts from strangers the next day.
NoHo • $
A refreshingly low-key Valley haven for bears, leathermen, and anyone who's over the scene. Cheap drinks flow freely between the indoor bar and spacious patio.
Browse Los Angeles neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

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.
