Fair enough. I want to clarify that I'm not saying LAs nightlife is anything short of amazing, I just think it may not be top 5.

Right, because people can never leave the club and go have fun or drink elsewhere. I can't speak for anyone else, but where I'm from, no one stops having fun at 2AM unless they want to.

The point in listing 40 cities was to see the overall picture.


Austin, Atlanta and some other lesser cities have garnered decent votes. Austin probably because of its live music.

Last call in Chicago is 3-5am, depending on the day. Try again.

Top 5 appear to be..

NYC
Miami
Las Vegas
Chicago/LA
New Orleans

Kinda surprised Atlanta has 16 votes. Is it really that good there? Austin I can definitely see.

The professional AA nightclub and the strip club scene is severely lacking in Chicago that is why it gets low marks

Correct.... but if all the bars and clubs are closed, your options are suddenly not all that different in LA than they are in say, Elephant Butte, New Mexico. You're going to a house party. That's why cities that have later last calls I think have the distinct advantage.
