It doesn’t get better than boozin’ under the stars.

1. Figueroa Hotel (Downtown) - The Moroccan theme takes over, and you’ll think the glow is from the casbah ... not Staples Center. 2. X-Bar (Century City) - The drinks are huge, and the food is good, plus there’s fire pits and cute servers. 3. Cat & Fiddle (Hollywood) - Primo location for Morrissey spotting, plus the best jukebox in town, plus a fountain.

4. The Hideout (Santa Monica) - One of the few places to sink your feet in the sand with a drink in your hand. 5. Downtown Standard (Downtown) - Watch people trysting in the skyscrapers, or have your own in a waterbed pod.
