The Brig

This ultrahip bar, at the end of the Abbot Kinney strip in Venice, attracts an eclectic crowd of young clubgoers from all over L.A. The spacious main room pumps house beats, creating an atmosphere in which the scantily clad women and well-dressed men vie for attention from the opposite sex. If you're just rolling off the beach, however, don't be worried about being underdressed because at the Brig, less is more (at least early in the evening). If you're lucky enough to get on the lone pool table, you can show off your skills and perhaps attract some of that sought-after attention to yourself.
