Dimples (CLOSED)

Known as America's "First Karaoke Bar," Dimples of Downtown Burbank is where Angelenos flock to get their late-night drink on and butcher "Purple Rain" before a room of friends and strangers. This divey watering hole serves up your typical menu of booze and greasy bar food, which aptly compliment the historically ramshackle decor and relaxed vibe. Their swag game is strong too, with DVDs, photos, even keychains of each performance, if you're willing to fork over the bucks. It's kitschy and full of history—so much so that most of its regulars are older, but don't let that hold you back. Belting one out at Dimples is pretty much an LA rite of passage, at this point. Just look for the cheeky little shack across from Warner Bros Studios.
