El Chucho
Mar Vista
El Chucho pulls off the rare trick of mixing dive bar charm—pool table, sports, cheap beer—with an impressive natural wine list and DJs spinning vinyl all night.
Fox Fire Room
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.
Hand-Brewed Beer, LLC
Chatsworth
Bold craft beers meet backyard hangout vibes at this Chatsworth brewery. Settle in on the patio with house-brewed beer and solid pizza, pinball machines at the ready.
Transplants Brewing Company
Palmdale
A tattoo-parlor-meets-brewery with street art, pinball, and a resident cat boss named Patches. The craft beers and seltzers are solid, but the graffiti-covered walls and anything-goes vibe are the real draw.
Agua Dulce Winery
Santa Clarita
A sprawling desert winery where award-winning Cabernet and Chardonnay flow amid vineyard views, donkey rescues, and horseshoe pits. Join a tour with Steve, grab a tasting tray, and embrace your inner Cork Dork.

Frequently asked questions
How do I plan an evening in LA without spending most of it driving?
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.
Where can I find an evening built around a performance or conversation in LA?
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.
How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?
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.
Do I need an account to use Outgoing?
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.
Is Outgoing free?
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.
