After that last song plays and the lights come up, your guests may not be ready to call it a night—and who could blame them? Thankfully, Downtown LA is packed with memorable afterparty locations that keep the good vibes going.
From breweries and cocktail lounges to late-night eateries and live music, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite afterparty locations in DTLA—and they’re all just a short ride from our Grass Room, Flora Chang, Valentine, and Millwick wedding venues.
Bars, Breweries, and Cocktail Lounges
Death & Co
For those who appreciate a great cocktail, Death & Co. in the Arts District offers moody lighting, plush seating, and expertly crafted drinks.
Resident
A laid-back outdoor bar and music venue with string lights and picnic tables, Resident is the place for an afterparty that feels like a backyard hangout with live music.
Angel City Brewery
Casual, cool, and distinctly Arts District. With plenty of space and rotating taps, Angel City is the go-to for larger groups looking to gather after the celebration winds down.
High Tide
This pastel-hued cocktail bar is tucked into a renovated warehouse just steps away from our three North Sea venues. The vibe is cozy, creative, and just the right kind of quirky.
EightyTwo LA
Located near Millwick, EightyTwo LA is made for afterparties. Part barcade, part nostalgia trip, with vintage arcade games, craft cocktails, and a buzzy crowd, it’s got energy to spare.
Let’s Go! Disco & Cocktail Club
This neon-lit lounge channels retro vibes and high-energy tunes. If you’re not quite ready to call it a night, you can keep dancing at Let’s Go! Disco.
Late-Night Bites and Hangout Spots
Wurstküche
A local staple that’s open late, Wurstküche is casual, quick, and great for after-hours snacks like gourmet sausages, Belgian fries, and beer.
De La Nonna
Pizza is always a win, and De La Nonna’s square pies are shareable and delicious. It’s a relaxed spot where guests can grab a slice, enjoy a glass of organic wine, and keep the good vibes going.
Salt & Straw
Who says an afterparty can’t be going out for ice cream with your best friends? Salt & Straw in the Arts District hits the sweet spot with their unique flavors and classic ice cream shoppe charm.
Yangban
If you’re looking for something modern and unexpected, Yangban serves up Korean-American fare in a stylish, late-night setting. It’s perfect for smaller groups with adventurous tastes.
Arts District Brewing Co.
Games, beer, and room to spread out—this brewery is group-friendly and the vibe is laid back, for more low-key celebrations.
Plan the Perfect Post-Party Experience
No two afterparties are ever alike. Whether you’re looking to kick back with a beer or a craft cocktail, get back out on the dance floor, or dig into some late-night eats, DTLA delivers.
