If there's one thing Valentine's Day hammers home, it's the suckiness (or lack thereof) of being solo. We're talking S-E-X, people, and for you poor souls who had an unsatisfying week sans even a prospect for V***** or D*** (we're talking body parts, not venereal disease), it's time to put it all behind you and get to prowling the bars again.

We can't guarantee a hookup at any of the following, but we will say that, based on atmosphere, comely crowds, our own get-hit-on ratios and those of our scenester pals (both male and female), these drinking holes seem to provide the best chance to get your hoe down.

As always, boozers looking to get bumpin' should drink responsibly, not drive and be safe about who you go home with. Tell a friend where you'll be, with whom, and promise to call the next day. Here's hoping all you have to deal with after your hookup is a hangover, a walk of shame and a little regret. Who knows? Maybe you'll actually meet your Valentine for next year?

10. Golden Gopher

This gorgeous downtown bar conjures Hollywood glamour better than any place actually in Hollywood. A decidedly retro crowd tends to flock here, so the pick-up lines are a bit more clever. The gilded scenery, seductive sounds and gopher (beaver-ish?) lamps make this a sassy spot to dig and get dug. The pink ladies room is enough to make any gal feel like a temptress upon exit. www.goldengopherbar.com


9. Backstage Bar & Grill

This one gets wild during weekly karaoke nights and live band jams, but even nights when it's just the jukebox and pool table are swagger-charged. With decadent drinks (yes, there's one called "the Blow Job"), sexy bartenders and sinfully delish food, it's easy to overindulge here in every way ... and opt to take the voracious vibe -- and someone to share it with -- home. backstageculvercity.com


8. Eastside Luv

Are Latins better in bed? Hard to generalize, of course, but there is something undeniably hot-blooded about the hombres. And us chicas? Where do we begin? A mostly Latino crowd frequents Eastside Luv wine y queso bar in Boyle Heights weeknights, and it's a destination bar on weekends, so it's a lively, diverse mix. The scene is simpatico no matter what the ethnic mix. Live burlesque performances take over the entire bar, raising temps and bringing an interactive zest to the room, heightened by great dance music in between. Amore abounds, even if it's just for the night. eastsideluv.com

The best bar in LA is SMASH it's located at 234 Sunset BLVD. in WEST Hollywood. There a fire breathers, elephants, coke sniffers and those burly black burlesque bodyguards that are all the rage this year. Come on down the music is popping,. 

They also offer a variety of hard drugs, heroin, smack, meth, loosy goosies, pink shell, anal probe and many more.

This article is kinda silly. Bars that get you laid? First, anyone who thinks that they can go to a strip club to get laid is an idiot. This is a list of cool bars. What gets you laid has nothing to do with the place.

The best bar to get laid at is Seven on 7th and Grand Ave in Downtown Los Angeles. I get laid every time I go there and I been going there for the past 5-6 years. The boss, bar staff and security is hella cool and always hooks me up. I been all over the world and I've partied at the best night clubs and bars all over the world but Seven is one of my favorites. I like it because it's not full of the superficial wanna be in crowd of Hollywood/ West LA/ LA; pun intended. It's small so your chances of bumping into and grinding against a gorgeous lady are very high. BTW, President Obama for President 2012 bitches!

Hollywood would be the last place I'd go, then again, I don't drink anymore and haven't for quite some time now, so no need for bars, plus the chances going way up for STDs. Bars are a complete waste of money anyway.

None of these bars will ever get you laid. If anything this list gave me cool new bars to try out.

Anyone going to a bar or club to hopefully get laid is pathetic and no mother would be proud! Grow some decency people and maybe throw in a moral or two, ewwww!!

Hey, that photo of the Short Stop up there is mine. Not sure how you came by it, but it would be nice to at least receive credit.

Hi Stephen! Not sure what Robert is talking about, but we always link back to pics that are posted on public sites such as Yelp, where I got the image from (see the Yelp link in the credit). I just checked the link and unfortunately it is broken however, so I will fix and add your name asap. Thanks! :)

 I don't see this photo on the Short Stop Yelp page, and I'm pretty sure I've never uploaded anything to Yelp.

The photo was from The Short Stop's Facebook page and there was no credit listing who took the shot. I have added the link in credit.

Hmm. Looking into this. In the meantime I've added your credit. Thanks!

 That's not how LA Weekly/Voice Media does things.  They pretty much operate like a junior high school essay in terms of attribution and professionalism, but like a coast-to-coast nationwide publication in terms of budget and distribution.

Unless you don't care about looks when you're getting laid; these bars haven't been good booty bars since 2008.

Lol if you are who I think you are you shouldn't be going out any more

And as of now all these bars will be flooded with horny dudes and are least likely to get you laid.

A bar that Greg Dulli owns being number one is SO appropriate.

wait, which ones do you NOT get wartz at, and which ones do you not get herpes at?

ive been to the short stop and as much as i love it, i dont agree with the getting laid part. i can see how ive you wanted to f*** in a public venue it'd be easier to do in there because its so dark but since its also loud in there, IMO, its kind of where i'd take a date that i dont want to look at. 

Lunachick

 place is pretty grimey, right? Ive been there plenty of times. Sometimes the music is good, sometimes its downright awful. most dudes just stand around and stare...not in a good way. If you get laid here, be sure to get a medical check up the very next day
