Precinct in Downtown Los Angeles stands out as a rock 'n' roll gay bar and party club in a historic building once linked to the old Department of Corrections. Spanning 8,500 square feet on the second floor, it boasts a bar, dance floor, performance stage, and its standout wrap-around terrace offering stunning views that evoke Bourbon Street vibes amid urban LA.
The vibe is spacious, fun-loving, and inclusive, drawing bears, cubs, otters, hipsters, and party enthusiasts for wild nights. Highlights include high-profile drag performances, themed underwear parties, and a popular Sunday drag brunch. Patrons enjoy American bar food served late, a vast selection of spirits, and happy hour specials. With exposed brick, black accents, and a bold red arrow sign, Precinct delivers classic coolness while fostering queer community and non-stop energy.
