With its own discreet entrance, Bardot is the posh hideaway atop the cavernous Avalon dance club. Bardot has room for a mere 300 in three separate 1920s-inspired areas: under the ficus trees on the outdoor terrace, beneath a tented ceiling in a small bar and in a lounge by the dance floor with nightly DJs. A favorite with gay clubbers, it has a different offering (and a different crowd) every night. The menu includes Monday School Night talent showcase, Friday burlesque and Saturday jam sessions. One-off parties sometime run from 4 am to 7 am. Bardot now also has a location at the Hard Rock Hotel in Palm Springs.
