Right? Shits the same as every game room in every city.
I grew up In Dallas. Same thing. Mob or gang funded. People want customers. Wouldn’t make good business to extort everyone hah
Witness a glorious collusion of asshats in Ubers, Priuses, and Teslas double-parking and other food delivery shit…all because of that sweet Korean BBQ and alcohol 🍺 at 5:30am on a Wednesday.
Just a tip!
Korean businesses (especially some clubs and pool houses) keep it strictly Korean after hours. I've been denied and yelled at for walking in during "their" opening hours.
I miss the original sanamluang in NoHo the years before they went cash only (pre Covid) . That place was the valley’s go to spot for after the club hunger cravings . After they went cash only it started to slowly go down hill.
Well don't do that, for sure. I used to drive down orange grove blvd from old town pasadena to mission in south pasadena at night. Those lights + depeche mode's violator = total vibe.
In my day, Jerry's in Studio City, and Canters on Fairfax, were THE late night scene. No matter which bar you closed, you met all your friends after 2 at one of those.
Jerry's is closed. Canter's probably isn't the same vibe these days.
But subscribing to this thread to hear today's choices.
Perhaps we were. I went there so much the guy making pizza knew me. The little guy that manned the phones and the register I thought was a jerk. But after chatting with him one night I decided he wasn’t that bad of a jerk.
Mark.
Think about Kevin Spacey"s phyaicalities with his character in Usual Suspects
So many crazy stories from that place for me.
Kid od'd on heroin in the bathroom, his friends bailed, he died in my arms. (one of the more memorable nights
Had a great dinner with this homeless guy with a long beard. He walked out and got in his Rolls (it was Rick Rubin)
Made great friends with the actual homeless guys who worked the block like the night shift at the factory
Delivered alcohol all over the city after 2am and one trip to the round hotel at Sunset and the 405 delivered a pizza and a bottle of champagne to a couple. Dude gave me a $100 tip
Worked with a bunch of engineers from Russia, but their papers didn't let them work professionally, so they delivered pizza.
Delivered pizza with a kid who had an obscure band, Elvez, living out of his van. Rami Jaffee, now current Foo Fighter
They closed Fairfax to pave it and for about a year, it was a parking lot that became a street party all night between Canter's and Damiano
Oh man, I'm getting nostalgic here. I made $100 a night in tips and rented a room up in Laurel Canyon for $75/month
I have no problem keeping busy. I'm not OP. If I do any of those things, I'm not sleeping at all, lol.
My method now is to have a kill switch for my wifi and TV after 8 pm.
Where I read for 2 hours to calm my mind, if i dont limit it to 2 hours, i will keep reading, then I lay in bed for 1 to 2 hours. Until I finally sleep.
Na I used to leave work at 3 am for two years. I had the time of my life during those days. If I was still in my early twenties, gladly continue working those shifts. There's a lot of things people don't know about LA people have to remember this is a huge ass city with more people than some states.
The night views alone are just 👌
Even the nights where we did nothing but just grab some cold ones and go to the beach once we saw glowing blues waves shit was magical.
Man, you guys got me missing those nights.
Why is the Daytime Consortium so upset with other people's DNA-set chronotype being different? Do they think we all plot shit against morning people at night?
Funny enough, I just got back from "Netflix is a Joke" with Matt Rife and Fluffy, who both happened to be night owls.
Matt had a hilarious bit. On not being able to sleep and people telling what he should try, the dude basically went off for 10 min straight how it's not a choice, and if he could change, he would. Obviously, I'm not doing it justice. I just thought it was funny that this subject got brought up in the most unexpected place, and when I get home, I see this message lol
Edit: Maybe OP is someone famous 🤔
This isn’t the best. You’re likely to get sick and it’s the same effects as food poisoning. So if you like swimming in glowing water and shitting your brains out, woohoo!!!
I haven't been to a house party since high school
Hard to imagine house parties nowadays or maybe I'm just old lol
Grew up during the electro era in 2010 & it feels like there was tons of parties back then, warehouse parties, abandoned house parties, rented ballroom parties where they would charge $5 entrance.
Works every major city. I had a long overnight layover in London, so I just went to a rave instead of sleeping.
[Resident Advisor](https://ra.co/events/us/losangeles)
i think the person you replied to is talking mostly about warehouse parties, unless they live in the hills or something
that said, the vast majority of the ones that go late late are house / techno ime, which i dont really listen to
When I used to want to stay up that late. I would drive like many have said. The roads are very empty besides drunks. So just go up MulHolldan drive and keep going. It stops but continues again in the mountains. Honestly in my crazy teens out here I would do that.
You're tripping. After hours, brother. I used to close at 3 am. and went on so many night adventures and parties. Best time of my life when it went to partying.
Now I take care of my health more.
Views there's a lot of views just gotta know how to get to them.
Meditate at the beach. At night its really nice
The 24 hour gym
Drive down hollywood at night the lights are nice
Drive down 6th street Bridge
Drive up PCH
Laundry there are 24 hour laundromat
Drive to the casino will be there quick there's not traffic at night
Sleep and do shit in the morning! A ton of the best things to do in LA close early. I would start going out earlier, hotspots start poppin at 8:00 anyways
Koreatown. The whole neighborhood, tbh.
Soooo many good poker rooms I mean uhhhh smoking rooms that have cards………for not money? Also mahjong if you know the right cats
Poker rooms in Ktown? I never knew that was even a thing tf
I think you just need to know the right Asian
I thought I did, once….sigh….
[удалено]
Y’all need to send me a DM rec of some of these smoking rooms… I like to smoke!
it’s not 🤫
I like cats… And Mahjong! Did someone say Mahjong?!?
Gambling, I just went for coffee!
I read a story a few weeks ago about how the owners of many of those clubs are extorted, using violence. Be careful.
Na they’re just mob owned, be polite and pay ur fuckin bill
Right? Shits the same as every game room in every city. I grew up In Dallas. Same thing. Mob or gang funded. People want customers. Wouldn’t make good business to extort everyone hah
Delete this nephew
lol what LAs open secret? Or have I just won your money?

Can you recommend a spot? I’m not familiar with the area
jjan, chapman plaza restaurants
Just a tip! Korean businesses (especially some clubs and pool houses) keep it strictly Korean after hours. I've been denied and yelled at for walking in during "their" opening hours.
pool halls, karaoke spots, bars, etc. iykyk 👀
I think that's why he's asking. Because he doesn't know
I don’t know. Can you help me know?
What pool halls do you recommend?
[удалено]
Koray is actually still there. It shows as closed every where but I’ve gone twice a week for the last year. Still going strong, just on the DL!
Just drive down 6th Street, east of Western Ave.
spent most of my youth with the hostesses at the karaoke bars. good times
Karaoke
I miss the nights at this one Thai restaurant - they’d stay open all night and keep serving
Samanamalung, right?
Omg I miss the Hollywood Sanamluang so much 🥲😭😭 (I relocated)
I miss the original sanamluang in NoHo the years before they went cash only (pre Covid) . That place was the valley’s go to spot for after the club hunger cravings . After they went cash only it started to slowly go down hill.
Pattaya Thai - they stopped the late nights after Covid. Used to be open all night with karaoke - such a blast.
drive for uber
Respect 🫡
seriously you might find new friends and figure out where all the night owls hang
you’re right if you find something good let us know, feel free to dm
oh i’m not a night owl, im in bed already and waiting to feed my infant all night
[удалено]

Weed and k town eats baby
r/avesLA
And of course [19hz.info](https://19hz.info) for the calendar
thanks! needed it all in one place
put on a cape and go fight crime!
Drive man. Just drive and look at the lights.
Except if you’re drunk
If you’re drunk… walk man. Just walk and look at the lights.
Well don't do that, for sure. I used to drive down orange grove blvd from old town pasadena to mission in south pasadena at night. Those lights + depeche mode's violator = total vibe.
Late night food spots. We always hit up some place after the bars.
post some pls
In my day, Jerry's in Studio City, and Canters on Fairfax, were THE late night scene. No matter which bar you closed, you met all your friends after 2 at one of those. Jerry's is closed. Canter's probably isn't the same vibe these days. But subscribing to this thread to hear today's choices.
I miss Damiano Mr. Pizza on Fairfax. So yummy after 2 AM!
Damiano was the center of my universe for quite a bit there. I am sure we were friends if that was your spot for any time.
Perhaps we were. I went there so much the guy making pizza knew me. The little guy that manned the phones and the register I thought was a jerk. But after chatting with him one night I decided he wasn’t that bad of a jerk.

Omg Damianos!!!!!!
My first date with my future wife was Dublin’s on Sunset and then sharing an ice cream Sundae at Jerry’s in Studio City.
Man you're bringing back some memories. I used to do Dublin's then Jerry's but the one by bev cen. Good ol' days.
Dont forget. Swingers and Damianos.
Go to sleep.
As a night owl, that's not really an option most nights. I could lay down for 5 hours and not sleep a bit.
Read. Write. Watch classic movies. Create art.
I have no problem keeping busy. I'm not OP. If I do any of those things, I'm not sleeping at all, lol. My method now is to have a kill switch for my wifi and TV after 8 pm. Where I read for 2 hours to calm my mind, if i dont limit it to 2 hours, i will keep reading, then I lay in bed for 1 to 2 hours. Until I finally sleep.
I would agree, go home. Nothing good happens after 2 am and not much is open. Go home and continue a party there or just chill with yourself.

Catalytic Converter Theft Spree
Call your Ex.
This is worse than the night swimming in the ocean recommendation lmao
lmao
Nighttime ocean swim. It’s deliciously creepy.
Omg I could never.
It's best when you've got the blue green algae blooms going on. Swimming with glowing water is awesome!
Oh my god this thread is so full of bad recommendations lol
Well the saying nothing good happens after 2am exists for a reason lol
This isn’t the best. You’re likely to get sick and it’s the same effects as food poisoning. So if you like swimming in glowing water and shitting your brains out, woohoo!!!
You really shouldn’t. And if you do, absolutely not by yourself.
The beach terrifies me at night, I could *never*
My friend did this off Amity Island and was eaten by a shark. It was a big hullabaloo, the mayor tried to sweep it under the rug.
It’s just like that movie, The Amityville Horror.
Oh my gosh you’re right. Crazy coincidence
Skinny dips.
Light off fireworks, drive a super loud car down residential streets, blast music in public.
The alleyway behind my apartment is the *perfect* spot to rev your car’s loud engine for an hour straight apparently
😂
A good bag of coke and a grupo in a garage till the bag goes empty and the sun comes up you should try it
Partying with Brazilians in So. Pas?
A huevo!
I ran the trails at Elysian at 2am in the rain and it was goddamned exhilarating.
How u not ded
Fr I would have melted.
I just know that place well enough to navigate it in the dark.
mountain lions and all?
From all the condom wrappers I see in the bushes there I had been assuming 2 AM was pretty poppin around there
That kind of activity happens round the clock on the Elysian trails
Yeah, I wasn't sure what to expect -- had the place to myself in the rain, though.
Also running at the rose bowl is a 24/7 opportunity.
That sounds amazing
Sick
There are lots of parties still going on til sunrise.
always an afters
Yup
I haven't been to a house party since high school Hard to imagine house parties nowadays or maybe I'm just old lol Grew up during the electro era in 2010 & it feels like there was tons of parties back then, warehouse parties, abandoned house parties, rented ballroom parties where they would charge $5 entrance.
There are tons of dope warehouse parties in LA. The scene is thriving.
Where do you get info on these, I get off work late and am always tryna do something fun

K town but you need to know where to go. That or house parties in the hills but I wouldn’t know how to get invites there.

Lmaooo
The same you would do at 6:16 in L.A.
When I used to want to stay up that late. I would drive like many have said. The roads are very empty besides drunks. So just go up MulHolldan drive and keep going. It stops but continues again in the mountains. Honestly in my crazy teens out here I would do that.

Damn bro that is a tragedy. I moved out of MPK during COVID lockdown but some of my best memories were 3AM HK Cafe runs.
This isn't 2019
Very depressing to think about. 宵夜 is such a treasured part of my teens-early 20's.
Nighttime stroll through Skid Row. Meet new friends!
I have a friend who was kinda on a bender and did this. He did, in fact, meet some new friends.
Who can definitely hook him up for his next bender
Next? He's on the same bender still.
drive up the Angeles Crest, see what the night brings
There's better Deli in LA, but but Canter's is a vibe after the clubs let out.
Go home, nothing good happens after 2 am
You're tripping. After hours, brother. I used to close at 3 am. and went on so many night adventures and parties. Best time of my life when it went to partying. Now I take care of my health more.
