Section reservations, craft cocktails, and DJ-driven nights at 6th and Main in the Arts District.
Some bars in Downtown Los Angeles just exist. The Association has a point of view. Tucked on East 6th Street in the historic core of the city, this lounge and nightclub draws a crowd that takes the weekend seriously, showing up Thursday through Sunday for DJ sets that actually move the room and drinks that give them a reason to stay.
The space carries the kind of energy that builds slowly and peaks late. Reserving a section is the move for groups who want to own their night rather than fight for real estate at the bar. With a 4.3-star rating across hundreds of reviews, the regulars clearly keep coming back, and first-timers tend to understand why once the music locks in.
This is not a place that tries to be everything. It opens when the night is ready for it, closes when 2 AM says so, and in between delivers the kind of lounge experience that makes a Thursday feel like it was worth staying up for.
The Association runs as a lounge bar and nightclub with a focus on the late-night hours that most venues treat as an afterthought. Thursday through Sunday, the doors open to a room built around DJ-driven sound, a full bar program, and the option to reserve private sections for groups who want a dedicated space to celebrate, unwind, or just spend the weekend properly.
The bar delivers cocktails with enough creativity to hold attention across a long night. Section reservations let groups anchor their experience without the usual scramble for seating, making it a go-to for birthday parties, special occasions, and anything that calls for a real night out in the city.
Located at 110 E 6th St, the venue sits in one of Downtown LA's most active nightlife corridors, close enough to everything but distinct enough to feel like a destination rather than a default stop.
