From a laid-back night to needing to carb-load and prime that eyeliner, the right L.A. or OC Friday night is awaiting you.
This place exudes Texas . Trade your back-and-forth shuffle for a choreographed line dance — lessons are at 7 and 8 p.m. before the crowd comes in. If you still fumble the steps or miss a class, most other dancers are friendly enough to teach you themselves. A DJ plays country hits as people two-step, but there’s a fair share of 2010s pop songs tossed in. Later in the evening, a live band plays country tunes on the stage.
The main dance floor, games like giant Jenga and a mechanical bull occupy the first floor, while people shoot pool and throw back shots at the shooter bar in the loft above. It’s a balcony, so grab a seat to look down on the line dancers. This crowd’s age range is broad but skews more middle-aged than others on this list.
I recommend getting on the bull at least once. If you’re nervous, you can usually ride tandem with a friend — though your odds of hanging on will dwindle. While dancing is lively, seating is the bulk of the venue, so it’s perfect for a laid-back night. Two bars means you don’t wait long to get a drink, which are relatively cheap .
Admission is cash only, and food and drinks require a $20 minimum to use a credit card. It’s open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and there’s no cover from 6 to 7 p.m. It’s $5 after 7 p.m., and on Fridays and Saturdays, it bumps up to $10 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The parking lot fills quickly, so you might have to circle for a spot.
