Dear Eleanor is an innovative nightclub located in Los Angeles, California, that has quickly made a name for itself in the fast-evolving American nightlife scene. Opened in early 2023, Dear Eleanor occupies a beautifully restored mid-century warehouse in the heart of the Arts District, blending industrial aesthetics with imaginative interior design. Named as a playful homage to letters written "to someone you wish you could speak to," the club quickly became a haven for electronic music aficionados and nightlife enthusiasts seeking an alternative to Hollywood’s glitz.

With a capacity of around 600, Dear Eleanor boasts a state-of-the-art sound system, immersive lighting, and a commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive environment. The venue is celebrated for its thoughtful curation—balancing international talent with up-and-coming local artists—often featuring extended sets and surprise back-to-backs that encourage an almost familial connection among attendees. Its reputation is grounded in a fiercely loyal community, a progressive booking ethos, and collaborations with art collectives, helping reshape the cultural fabric of LA’s underground music landscape.

Since its inception, Dear Eleanor has experienced subtle structural changes aimed at improving audience flow and acoustics, but it remains at its original location, preserving the gritty charm that first drew crowds. Unlike many nightlife spaces, Dear Eleanor has cultivated an almost mythic status by intentionally limiting social media and photography, inviting guests to experience the music and moment more fully. Notable artists who have performed at Dear Eleanor include international acts such as Dixon, DJ Tennis, Honey Dijon, Ben UFO, Job Jobse, and Octo Octa, along with prominent local legends like Heidi Lawden, Masha, Jeniluv, and the resident duo Lubelski & RYBO.

The venue continues to attract both world-renowned headliners and emerging talent, making it one of LA’s most influential and beloved dance music institutions.
