Sunset Hour at Ketchup

The resto's new happy hour adds jovialness with $6 martini specials and $8 Kobe sliders—which should make the eye-candy crowd get even candy-er.

The popular Sunset Strip patio wingding returns for the summer this weekend. Expect a KCRW DJ, sushi, miso-glazed popcorn shrimp tempura and, for her, watermelon margaritas.

Cookout at Dockweiler State Beach

One of the few local beaches with onsite cookout areas, Dockweiler just completed a $14 million renovation. Get there early (like, 7 a.m.) for a shot at one of 30 fire pits, then grill your heart out.

Saturday
Pravda
SATURDAY SOVIET SHAKEUP

Pravda

This late-night Disney Hall gathering has DJs, artists and a 10-piece Theremin Orchestra. It's officially about deconstructing Stalinism, but unofficially it's all about the dance party in BP Hall.
