A diverse lineup of dance nights and an outrageous array of stage shows make this WeHo hotspot a draw for the gothic and erotic sets.
Club 7969 resembles a giant, red velvet cake: dark and mysterious on the outside, pure indulgence on the inside. Booths and curtains surround the spacious dance floor where, depending on the night, crowds let loose to house, rock, top 40, hip-hop or '80s hits. When people aren't moving to the music, their attention is on the stage—which has a pole, of course—on which hard-bodied males gyrate (Saturdays), topless female cabaret dancers captivate (Thursdays), plus-sized women dominate (Wednesdays) and transgender wonders infiltrate (Mondays and Fridays). The separate back room can provide either a break from the dancefloor or a chance to get up close and personal with one of the acts. It's hard to run from the eroticism that permeates every corner of this club—and who can resist a little cake?
