"Open for decades, the Plaza Club represents the best of Southern California. Located less than a block away from Pink’s Hot Dogs, Plaza has been operating since the 1990s with a packed house of loyalists who show up for the entertainment or dancing. There’s a small cover charge at this longstanding club, but it goes toward something special: a lineup of sequined female impersonators who dance to Mariah Carey, rancheras, Jennifer Lopez, and the queen of them all — Selena." - Rebecca Roland

"Everybody's weekend bar routine becomes stale at some point, and when that moment arrives, head to Plaza. The La Brea drag bar is one of the most entertaining nights in LA. It’s unassuming from the outside, but inside, there’s a massive dance floor, a full proscenium stage, and a cash-only bar serving dirt cheap drinks all night long. Also, you get chips every time you order a drink. God is real, and she’s at Plaza ready to party. " - brant cox
"Greetings from one of the most under-appreciated nightlife spots in all of LA. With bars on the windows and almost no signage, Plaza looks like a closed-down nail salon from the 80s, but it’s very much open. And hiding inside is one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets—a nightly Latinx drag show that’s one of the most objectively fun experiences in the neighborhood. The huge space has great energy, affordable drinks, a big dance floor, and a brand of entertainment you never knew you needed so badly." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
"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
