The Derby in LA where they film the swing dancing scenes in Swingers is one of the nicest clubs I've ever been in.  It's hard to believe that during the 70s they actually covered up it's ceiling.  There was a ballroom in DC that would have been very nice if they ever restored it.  It had a sprung floor like the Commorode Ballroom...

Indoor - have to agree with Kosmo and Venerable: small club is the Derby, larger venue is The Filmore.
 
 Outdoor - tie between to LA venues: The Hollywood Bowl is amazing and so is The Greek up by Griffith Park Observatory with the lights and the trees.

How did I forget Greek Theatre?  Such a great place to see a show.  It's beautiful and outdoors and holds quite a good number of people, but it doesn't feel as huge as other outdoor venues...it's a pain to get in and out of there, but it beats Nissan any day, and is soooo gorgeous.

That's when you grab a blanket and a bottle of wine and go make out in the trees overlooking the city lights until the traffic clears.
 
 I'm going to start charging you for these life-learned lessons someday...

Life-learned lessons?  I go to all my LA shows with my brother!!
 
 ...Now, if by chance I'm there again with someone else, that sounds good.  It is very pretty up there.

PS Strathmore's good for that sort of thing, too.  But you didn't hear it from me.

I'm so excited...I get to experience the Hollywood Bowl in just over a month!

The Camden Palace, London?
 
 Re: Merriwether -- that place is lovely on a starlit summer night with vague wisps of illicit smoke drifting over the picnic blankets....
