"Finding places where you can dance in LA that aren’t nightmarish club hellscapes can be a treacherous search, particularly on the Westside. But one place that always manages to get the dance floor right and fly a bit under-the-radar is The Room. During the week, this dimly lit Santa Monica bar is a solid place to grab a cocktail with a friend, but come weekends, the place turns into a full-throttle dance party of the best variety. Expect a lot of Top 40, rap, and old school hip-hop." - brant cox
