Los Angeles

Disco Dining Club (3/13): For its second installment of revelry and consumption, the series is bringing in James Beard-nominated chef Bernhard Mairinger of BierBeisl, who will make food that pairs with the event's unlimited cocktail and beer bar. All-you-can-eat oysters and an all-vinyl, all-disco DJ set round off the evening. And if that wasn't enough, a live brass section and a burlesque performance by Dolly Dagger set this dinner over the top. The goal? Give Angelenos a night of ostentatious, gregarious, disco-drenched decadence.
