Carpe Noctem [a list of nightclubs + music venues]

Kendall: My favorite place to see a show in LA hands down. Be sure to get there early if you want to snag a table.

Mashable: If you're looking for a venue that promotes social sharing from shows, The Roxy provides free Wi-Fi to encourage livestreaming, Twitpic-ing, et al. - Barb Dybwad 자세히 보기

Live Nation: It's fun to park and walk up to the Rainbow Room for a cocktail before Steel Panther on Mondays!

VH1: This place feels like home. The balcony is cool, but the floor sounds better - just get yourself a barstool. – Taylor Locke from Rooney

Goldenvoice: Not ready to leave? After the show, head up to the 4th floor VIP Lounge. It’s open after most shows—just check with security / guest services by the elevators.

Sal Castellanos: Find parking on the streets. Free after 6pm. Or park by CVS- the parking structure. $5. The parking by the grocery store is $12.

Bravo: Mid-sized concert venue that has the best of the new music coming through. Get tickets when you can. Don’t worry who is playing, it will be great. -Mark Peel, Top Chef

987LA: This club is so dark it feels like it’s always nighttime, even if you’re in there at 11am (which we have been). Perfect for checking out up-and-comers up close and personal. 자세히 보기

Kendall: The Lankershim shuttle is a definite must! Saw Counting Crows here in 2010. Amazing show, amazing venue and an incredible night! Can't wait to go back.

VH1: This is my favorite venue in the country. Be sure to bring your own food and get a seat by the soundbooth, where you can see the show, the crowd, everything! – Kelly Rowland

Kendall: In competition with The Hollywood Bowl for best outdoor venue in LA.
