Harlowe

"By day, Harlowe is a Weho bar with an Old Hollywood theme that’s great for networking. By night, it transforms into the post-grad version of Jock Jams night at DKE. But that also makes it a fun place to dance on a Saturday night. The DJs play mostly hip-hop and pop, so there’s a good chance you’ll know every word of every song - and a 100% chance you’ll be singing along after a few of their draft Old-Fashioneds. Expect a wait if you get there after 10:30 or so. " - brant cox, nikko duren

"Weho spot Harlowe will have a bunch of French classics for the holidays, thanks to the Little Door’s semi-permanent residency in their kitchen. The menu runs every day through 12/31, and includes a la carte options, all portioned for four to six people. There’s foie gras and brandy, poached lobster salad, beef Wellington, and a whole bunch of desserts. Call (323) 876-5839 to order - requires 48 hours notice." - brett keating

"When you’re going to Harlowe, it’s not just any sh*tshow night. It’s a tequila night, or a “shots of gin” night, or really, whatever kind of night it is that you can only handle once a year. You’ll ignore how much your feet hurt, dance like you usually only do at weddings, and go home with someone you’ve never met before. This Weho bar is the perfect place for all those things, and they have excellent DJs that only play songs you know every single word to. For one night a year, it’s absolutely glorious." - brett keating

"Harlowe is proof that all it really takes to fill up a bar with people under 30 is a place to dance and a playlist where Usher comes on every fifth song. This is an empty restaurant until 9:30 every night, but an hour later, there will be someone from The Bachelor making out with a UTA intern in the middle of the dance floor. It’s just the right level of messy: if you’re looking to meet someone, you’ll be able to, without having to go somewhere that leaves you with shoes so sticky that you just have to throw them out. Get here before 10pm if you don’t want to wait in line. " - brant cox, nikko duren

"You probably think of Harlowe for their fratty mid-’00s weekend dance parties, but they also have a surprisingly low-key Happy Hour. The $8 draft cocktails are good, and there’s decent food that works well to share on a first date. The Deal: $8 draft cocktails, $6 well drinks, $2 off draft beers, $6 house wine, food specials. When: Daily 5-7pm." - brett keating
