Barcopa (CLOSED)

The sexy, scarlet-and-black minimalist vibe and the soul-funk grooves spinning in the background have both proved hits with cool West Side kids in full blown denial of their quarter-life crisis. With tracks from the golden age of hip hop, some soul, funk and a bit of '80s thrown in alongside the strong speciality drinks, the dancefloor stays good and loose. If it looks too full, then just a little down the street is the Circle Bar (2926 Main Street, 310-450-0508, thecirclebar.com), another staple for pretty young twenty- and thirtysomethings.
