The Huffington Post released today a Los Angeles Magazine list of get-down joints in Downtown for outbound bar and club goers in their 20s and 30s and 40s (for example: Villains Tavern and Bottega Louie and Rivera, respectively). Why does the list only go to 40s? Because this is Los Angeles and at 50 you turn into a pumpkin, see a surgeon, spray on some money and start telling people you're 32. It's the circle of life.
