The crowd at this Silver Lake venue, owned by the folks behind Temple Bar and Zanzibar in Santa Monica, has a more-underground-than-thou feel; you'll get extra credit for wearing and trainspotting rare kicks. But it's mostly a welcoming club with a range of soul, funk, salsa and, especially, left-field hip hop artists such as Nu Mark and Breakestra appearing on various nights.
