Written by Katerina Leva. Published: December 06 2024

 

L.A. has always been a place that attracts celebrities and influencers from all over the world. If you are looking to rub shoulders with the wealthy and famous, or just do some lowkey stargazing, there are a good deal of hot spots all around a city. Here is a list of bars, clubs, and restaurants you should check out to get a glimpse of your favorite celeb!

 

1. Mother Wolf (1545 Wilcox Ave)

If you are searching for great food and celebrity sightseeing, Mother Wolf could be a great choice. Spearheaded by celebrated chef Evan Funke, this Roman-inspired restaurant offers hand-rolled pasta dishes that have become a significant draw for A-listers like Kendall Jenner and Leonardo DiCaprio.

 

Must-try Dish: The Cacio e Pepe is a fan favorite, simple yet utterly delicious. Pair it with a glass of wine from their curated list.

 

2. Delilah (7969 Santa Monica Blvd)

Feeling like hitting up a speakeasy and dancing to jazz in colorful, vibrant dresses? Try Delilah, part 1920s-inspired supper club, part modern lounge. Visitors especially appreciate drinks in this venue. As a whiskey lover, I recommend Delilah Old Fashioned (the classic mix with some extra details) and Hysteria (single malt with vermouth and bitter). Rihanna, Drake, and Justin Bieber are just a few of the stars often spotted here. Delilah offers an elevated dining experience followed by dancing and cocktails late into the night.

 

Must-try dish: Their signature lobster mac and cheese is a decadent hit.

 

3. The Nice Guy (401 N. La Cienega Blvd)

If you are going on a date, you better have a nice guy with you, but if you don't have him, there is a good substitute that will make as happy and relaxed. The Nice Guy is a good choice for those looking for a secluded, romantic atmosphere. The place is mainly lit by candles, making it feel private and exclusive. The Nice Guy's speakeasy-style lounge offers impeccable Italian-American comfort food, but the after-hours scene really heats up. Musicians like Billie Eilish and The Weeknd have been known to frequent this moody, exclusive venue, where paparazzi are kept at bay.

 

Must-try dish: Their truffle pizza is legendary among the regulars.

 

4. Catch L.A. (8715 Melrose Ave)

I know what you need to brighten your day: a perfect Instagram picture on one of the most photogenic spots in L.A. Catch L.A. in West Hollywood is an Instagram-worthy rooftop restaurant that serves fresh seafood with a panoramic view of the city. The only thing better in this place than the food is the lush greenery and floral design. No wonder celebrities worldwide (like Chrissy Teigen and John Legend) are drawn to this place. I mean, we all have a soft spot for taking a good pic. 

 

Must-try dish: The "Hit Me" Chocolate Cake is an interactive dessert that has become a social media sensation.

 

5. Bootsy Bellows (9229 Sunset Blvd)

If you want to relive how your grandmother was partying in the '60s while getting drunk, you should check out Bootsy Bellows. Founded by actor David Arquette, this 1960s-inspired nightclub offers a blend of glitzy burlesque shows and modern DJ sets. Frequented by stars like Miley Cyrus and Kendall Jenner, Bootsy Bellows is known for its playful yet exclusive vibe. Your nana would definitely appreciate it.

 

Must-try drink: The club's signature cocktails, like the Bootsy Mule, are refreshing and potent, perfect for a night of dancing.

 

No matter where your Friday night takes you, staying safe and having fun is the most important thing. Whether you're indulging in mouthwatering dishes or hoping to catch a glimpse of your favorite star, we hope this guide to L.A.'s hottest celebrity spots adds some sparkle to your evening. Bon appétit, and here's to unforgettable nights in the City of Angels!
