"You go to a bar, you get a little drunk, and everybody goes home. If ever there was a time to mix up this boring routine, it’s your birthday. Head to Plaza instead. The drag bar on La Brea is easily one of the best and most unique nights you can have in LA. Despite looking like a closed-down laundromat from the outside, the space is actually quite large, with a dirt cheap (and cash only) bar, and performances throughout the night. Game changer: they give you a bag of Doritos for every drink you order." - brant cox, brett keating
