Rainbow Bar & Grill, West Hollywood

Still commonly known as the "Rainbow Room," this fabled Sunset Strip institution continues to deliver a raunchy good time with live rock shows, late-night dining and diverse people-watching. The roomy interior consists of a dining room, several bars, upstairs dance floor and patio decorated with kitschy rock 'n 'roll memorabilia, Christmas lights, burgundy leather booths and even a vintage arcade game. The food offered is an Italian-American fusion of popular munchies such as pizza, sandwiches, steaks and a surprisingly diverse vegetarian selection. Keep in mind that it is possible to reserve special seating above the stage. Tuesday is karaoke night. - Paulina Kostruba
