16+ Nightclubs in Southern California

Clubs that serve alcohol typically require patrons to be at least 21 years old, or 18 at the very least. Finding a club that allows people as young as 16 to attend can be rather difficult. Southern California offers a number of minor-friendly venues with live music and dancing.
  1. Chain Reaction

    • Chain Reaction is an all-ages club in Anaheim, California. The club is only open on show nights and charges between $8 and $20 for tickets as of September 2010. Most bands that play at Chain Reaction are Orange County bands, though touring bands occasionally perform. The most popular types of music at the club include "ska, punk, rock and alternative," according to the club's website. The club is available for rent for private parties and special events.
