From the hottest new nightclubs to the best revamped lounges, we’ve got the lowdown on the latest and greatest of the LA hipster scene.

The Edison
Nestled in the New Historic Core, the heart of LA’s revitalized downtown, this lounge is a piece of living history.  And it’s absolutely stunning.  Set in LA’s first privately owned power plant, it dazzles with vintage art deco charm.  Hand crafted cocktails and majestic relics of a long lost era of glamour, invention and intrigue makes The Edison one of the nation’s most unique night haunts and one of LA’s trendiest new hot spots.  108 W. 2nd Street #101, Los Angeles   213-613-0000  www.edisondowntown.com

Holly’s West
If you’re looking for a lively lounge scene with low lighting, lingerie-clad waitresses and a bevy of tanned beach bums, check out Holly’s West.  This converted steakhouse features tasty grub, DJs, drinks and comfy couches.  Plus, with plenty of sex appeal, it’s a great place to meet singles.  Keep on the lookout for Michelle Williams and Hugh Hefner.  21+ w/ ID.  2460 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica  310-828-3304  

Hyde Lounge
An intimate setting is the big draw at Hyde Lounge.  Even if it’s on the small side, your night here is certain to include glitz, glamour, Asian–inspired munchies and A-list clientele.  This is the spot to seek…if you can get in.  Guest list and reservations only.  Who’s already making headlines at Hyde?  Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Brandon Davis to name a few.  8029 W. Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood  323-656-4933 

Sidebar
If you’re itching for a sleek new bar and a mojito or two, check out the modern Sidebar.  Monochromatic artwork, minimalist loungers and geometric cocktail tables will catch your attention almost as quickly as Sidebar’s super-hot servers.  And it features tasty appetizers too.  Bonus: street-side parking meters are free after 6pm.  Celeb sighting: Kirsten Dunst.  9500 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills  310-275-5200   www.sidebar.com

Stone Rose Bar
There’s a new über-hot hotel bar in town: the Stone Rose Bar inside the revamped Hotel Sofitel.  Don’t expect the usual buzzing nightlife scene here – this place is laid-back and refined.  Grab a martini and hang with the trendy crowds outside at the glowing fire pit.  Or enjoy the intimate vibe inside at this upscale hideaway.  Celeb factor includes Paris Hilton, Adam Brody and Cindy Crawford.  8555 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles  310-278-5444 

Tiny’s KO
This quirky gem is set amidst A-list clubs but is free of velvet rope.  Tiny’s is a punk-rock diner by day (under 21s welcome) and rocking bar by night (21+ w/ ID).  And it features tons of sweet tunes: surf, rockabilly, hardcore, outlaw country and punk.  A dive bar in the making, you’re sure to pound a few brews next to burnt-out punks and aspiring rock stars.  6377 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood  323-464-3026   www.tinysko.com
