Best Nightclubs In The Inland Empire « CBS Los Angeles

(credit: Dillon's Irish Pub)When we think of Southern California nightlife, places like downtown L.A., Hollywood, or even the O.C. come to mind. Not often do we hear about the nightlife down in the Inland Empire, an area known more for its suburban features than its after-hours activities. But, things have changed over the years. Head over to the Inland Empire and check out some of the places that will have you dancing and having the time of your life!
Dillon’s Irish Pub
13920 City Center Drive
Chino Hills, CA 91709
(909) 591-6100

What better place to let your hair down and kick back than a good old Irish pub? Relatively new to the Inland Empire, this spot features a full bar, inexpensive draft beer specials, great food, and various seating areas with plasma TV’s all around, providing guests with optimal viewing of all the great sporting events on TV. One distinct feature that has made this place a hit with locals is the fact that there is never a cover charge to view major sporting events.(credit: Lake Alice) Dillon’s features all the major pay-per-view Boxing, UFC, and other sporting events, and all guests are admitted for free viewing, which also means guests should come early and claim their spots. After 11 p.m., the bar takes on a nightclub atmosphere, as the D.J. takes his spot and churns out dance hits for guests who want to keep the fun going after the sporting event is over. Open until 2am and also open for breakfast on Saturday and Sundays at 9am, you can keep the party going into the night, and perhaps ask for a Bloody Mary the following morning.
