Los Globos Club / Historic Bar / Live Music Venue

I was there for the monthly 'A club called Rhonda' night and the DJ's were amazing. If you like deep house and electro and heavy beats, this is the place to be. Everyone is dancing and the get ups are incredible. Think Party Monster- 90's club kids, latex, masks, feathers, chains, crop tops, black lipstick and your hippest hipster outfit. An S&M dungeon meets Tinkerbell on steroids. It does get pretty packed though, and on the way in the line was round the block. If you want to take advantage of the $5 before 10pm then you better make sure that you are actually there well before 10 as the bouncers don't really take into account what time it was when you started standing in the line and there is not much negotiating with them. What is the most annoying thing about this, is that if you are there at that time, once you get in you will realise that the huge club space is pretty empty, making you wonder what exactly the line round the block was all about. By about 1am though, the indoors is heaving and trying to get from the larger downstairs room to upstairs is basically involves being carried along a sea of people. Breathing is also a little hard at this point as it seems that the humidity is at about 95% from so much sweat. Even outside in the back smoking bit was not a great deal better and getting a drink involves a pretty long wait at any of the three ( I think) bars. However, overall though, a fun night. Great, great music, fun crowd and dancing. Best done with a large group of friends or totally on your own in the mood for an adventure. Not a place to go with one other person, you'll spend all night trying not to lose them. Last word of warning - don't be tempted to try and avoid the valet! Parking is a nightmare around that part of Sunset on a Friday/ Saturday night and getting your car ticketed/ towed is gonna work out for a pretty pricey night, much more so than a $10 valet. There are some sneaky no parking past 1am signs in the vicinity which are pretty easy to miss... and on a Saturday night you're gonna have to wait for the next day to get it back... Ouch!

My Take: Los Globos is a historic venue in Silver Lake specializing in EDM and Latin nights. The place could very well be the source for last summer’s cumbia craze throughout the city and features authentic Latin dance nights as well as the latest rising indie and EDM stars. The Scene: Latin music and indie fans unite at this Silver Lake staple for everything from sets by Full Moon and The Wild Ones to live storytelling with The Moth. At Domingo Dynamite, DJs spin the latest reggaeton, cumbia, bachata, and merengue hits. At around one in the morning, the scene can get more than a little crazy, so leave your Puritanical hang-ups at home. Cocktails & Cuisine: Tall pours keep the crowd dancing through the night. Cocktails start at about $8 and beers start at around $5. While Los Globos has a full bar, you’re best bet is to stick to the standards. Prices: Shows typically cost about $7 to $15 What to Wear: Wear whatever you want. Latin nights bring out a swankier crowd in polished shoes, blazers, miniskirts, and heels, while EDM and indie nights bring out a mixed bag of indie kids in various stages of self-styled dishevelment. Insider Info/When to Go: Unless you’re looking to see a particular band or artist, the busiest times to go are during any of the weekly Latin nights. The place also sometimes stays open until 6am, so if you're looking for an end to your night, this would make a great option.

The scene at Los Globos during "A Club Called Rhonda" night can surely be daunting to some. I took three USC sorority girls and they were stunned by the "hipsterness" of the scene. People truly go 100% during this monthly party that cannot be missed. Aside from the interesting people and costumes what truly makes me come back to Los Globos every month is the music. Groovy, funky, deep, house music keeps me dancing from the moment I step in at 10:30pm to the moment I crawl out due to heat exhaustion after 3am. The club has two main rooms which feature different DJ's and artists and down the stairs is a large smoking area where you are sure to meet many interesting characters.

Los Globos is located in a very popular part of Silverlake that gets a lot of foot and car traffic. I've gone a couple times and each time finding parking was hell on earth. Well that's if you don't want to pay the $10 valet right next to it and trust me that's not what I want to do. If by chance you find a good parking then your experience will be a positive one with no negatives. The venue usually hosts free shows from good bands and what's better than free? Nothing! The size is big enough to fit a large amount of people and small enough to enjoy and intimate show. Bar has some good drinks with decent prizes. You should try the pineapple infused vodka, yum. Heading back to the entrance up the stairs you'll discover a second stage with a bar to go with it. I'm not sure if I was having hot flashes but the second floor definitely felt hot. It may have been lack of air conditioning, the large crowd, the dancing. Regardless it got hot so dress accordingly. So definitely go discover a new band with some of your friends and have a good time. Might even be worth going early, getting a good parking spot, and grab some drinks at the Thirsty Crow

This is one of the most interesting rooms for live music in LA -- excited to see more of Los Globos in 2013.

I have seen the best dubstep shows at globos. They guys from SMOG have brought the best talent from the UK. Acts like MALA and COKI, They have killer sound system. I've also been to other Electronic shows from FUTRA and IHEARTCOMIX. I have not been to their latin salsa shows upstairs, lots of mini-skirts. I did catch GOldenstate ( rock band) awhile back.

I have seen some of the top DJs in the world at Los Globos, there is nowhere on the eastside I would rather go.
