Best Historic Rock Club

Some clubs may be roomier, some may be sleeker, and some may be have bigger name bookings, but perhaps no place in Hollywood has been consistently cool for as long as the Dragonfly. Offering some of the most unique acts in town for nearly two decades, Anthony Belanger's dark and gritty rock grotto has been home to neo-glamsters (Taime Downe's Pretty Ugly club in the '90s), fetishy grinders (Miss Kitty's Parlour), retro-ragers (The Spazmatics) and everything in between. Its solid sound, plentiful sight lines, relaxed outdoor patio and adjacent dance room (added in 2005) continue to be a draw for diverse crowds, and most importantly, bands looking to get up close with fans -- Dave Grohl chose the club for the first of his secret Foo Fighters shows last year. The club celebrates its 20th anniversary this November. -Lina Lecaro
