2. The Lamplighter
City: Mission Hills, CA
Category: Nightlife
Telephone: (619) 298-3624
Address: 817 West Washington Street
Description: There’s a pool table, a full bar, and a neighborhood crowd that couldn’t be friendlier at the Lamplighter. Bartenders are exuberant in their attention to customers; some are a show in themselves. But if you want to put on your own show, some of the area’s best karaoke starts at 9:00 p.m. nightly except Monday. The bar opens at 6:00 a.m.
