Bachata and salsa dancing for everyone, starting with a beginner-friendly class so you can actually keep up. Live performances, a packed dance floor, and a room full of people here to have a genuinely good time together — this is what community dancing looks like.

Puteria is the monthly Latin night that keeps the dance floor packed — a rotating roster of DJs spinning reggaeton, Latin house, and everything in between, with a crowd that knows how to move. Replicated never duplicated, this third-Saturday staple draws folks from across LA who come for the music, the energy, and the unshakeable vibe. Ten bucks at the door makes it easy to show up.

A Sunday afternoon party for bears and the men who love them — the kind of gathering where everyone shows up to have a genuinely good time without the pretense. Free entry means there's zero reason not to join the crowd at Precinct's tea dance vibe.

Sunday nights belong to the disco lovers — a weekly rotation of DJs spinning the best in funk, soul, and dance floor classics. July brings Gabe tha Babe and DJ Dean on the 19th, with different guest pairings each week. Free entry means there's no reason not to show up and dance.

Maureen SanDiego's boundary-pushing cabaret satire hits Precinct for one night only—a John Waters–inspired fever dream that's equal parts irreverent, hilarious, and completely unhinged. Written by Hollywood's premiere female female impersonator and featuring Linda Recessionista with special guests, this is the kind of show that reminds you why live performance matters. Frivolous, inappropriate, and exactly what you need. Music by Jack Krimmel.

Wednesday nights at Precinct mean bingo, burgers, and cheap drinks. The $6 burger special runs all night during Gay Ass Bingo, so you've got a solid reason to show up early, stay late, and actually eat something while you're playing. Free entry, good food, and a room full of people who know how to have fun — exactly what a neighborhood bar should do.
