Hollywood's nightlight scene generally caters to gussied-up clubbers, but the Spotlight keeps it real—scary real. Open since the '40s, this barebones spot has always been a safe haven for neighborhood gays and the occasional tranny; in recent years, it's also started attracting straight hipsters with an arty, edgy vibe. Pool tables and video poker machines provide the entertainment and on Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Spotlight puts out a free spread of food for those who don't have anywhere else to go. Free food, trannies and food-scavanging transients—what more could you ask for from a dive bar?
