"From the second we walked into Gold Diggers’ dimly lit space on Santa Monica Blvd., we knew we were going to be spending a lot of time here this year - and we were right. For years, this place was a dive-y strip club in East Hollywood, but after a thorough renovation, it’s been transformed into our favorite new music venue in town. This is the kind of place where you show up to at 9pm to check out a new band, but stumble out five hours later after becoming a dancefloor god and filling your phone book up with new numbers. If you’re sick of the same old Eastside bar routine, head to Gold Diggers to remind yourself it feels good to try something different." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong, Brett Keating
