Sonar
2006 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, 954/920-8777, www.sonarniteclub.com


Plenty of other clubs have opened in the past year, most of them furthering the sad trend toward exclusivity that leaves most people cowering in front of velvet ropes all night. So Sonar, with a laidback vibe and an inclusive feel, arrived in downtown Hollywood like a breath of fresh air. Although every night at Sonar has its own theme, Wednesdays, featuring fantastic house music by DJ Baby Sean, and Friday Vamp Nights, already one of the best fetish nights around, are particularly notable. Touring acts from all over Europe and America land in the DJ booth on Saturdays, with recent turntablists including AK1200 and British exports such as Optical and Silver. And for a more chill mood, check out the film fest Mondays or Tuesday Unwind, featuring spoken word, live music and a smattering of funk and ambient electronica. Couple the incredibly varied themes with the ultramodern décor and the one-room intimacy of the club, and you have yourself a brand-new place to call home away from home.
