Gold Diggers is a distinctive nightclub and live music venue located in Los Angeles, California, known for its unique fusion of hospitality, music, and nightlife culture. Established originally in the late 1950s, the venue began as a go-go bar and strip club, catering to a diverse clientele through changing eras of Los Angeles nightlife. Situated on Santa Monica Boulevard in the East Hollywood neighborhood, Gold Diggers underwent a significant transformation in the mid-2010s when it was purchased and reimagined by entrepreneur Dave Neupert.

The venue was refurbished and relaunched in 2018 with a new philosophy, pairing a boutique hotel, state-of-the-art recording studios, and a vibrant nightclub under one roof, thus positioning itself as a creative hub and a modern-day cultural landmark. Gold Diggers has garnered a reputation for its cutting-edge sound system, intimate atmosphere, and creative curation, attracting both established and emerging talent. Its renovation respected the building’s history while modernizing the space for musicians and music lovers, contributing to the revitalization of the neighborhood’s nightlife scene.

The club has become significant in Los Angeles for supporting artists across genres—from indie rock to hip-hop, electronic, and experimental music—and providing a residency program for bands and producers to write and record on site. There have not been notable relocations, but the internal structure has shifted from its original use as a strip club to a hybrid community space, reflecting broader changes in the city’s cultural landscape. The list of notable artists who have performed or recorded at Gold Diggers includes international acts such as Beck, Billie Eilish, and Black Pumas, as well as celebrated local and national talents like Ty Segall, Phoebe Bridgers, Mac DeMarco, Nick Hakim, The Lemon Twigs, John Carroll Kirby, Local Natives, and Jenny Lewis.

The venue has also hosted performances and events in collaboration with tastemaking organizations like KCRW and NTS Radio, cementing its role as a vital platform in the Los Angeles creative community.
