18 & Over Clubs in LA?

Hey, i'm turning 18 soon and want to go clubbing with some friends in Los Angeles. Do you guys know of any great clubs in Los Angeles that are 18 and over? I've heard of the club Area and Hyde, but are those 18 and over? I'm looking for a club with a "club" atmosphere, good music, in the nice SAFE part of LA ...lol

There are two main problems that face club owners when trying to have a teen dance club: Money and liability. First, teens can't buy alcoholic drinks, which is the big money maker for any club. Second, if teens are allowed into a club which serves alcohol, there's nothing stopping someone over 21 from buying drinks for the teen, and the liability increases exponentially from there. Possible outcomes of teen drinking are manifold, and the club operator could lose his license to serve alcohol (there goes the money thing again).

Some of the coolest clubs are in some pretty dicey areas. I'm not yer daddy, but be careful out there! Here are a few places that have at least some nights that are 18+. Once again, be careful: These places may be frequented by jerks who just want to pick up some pretty young naive girls for their own pleasure. NEVER accept a drink you didn't see the bartender pour yourself. And it's a good idea to go with someone who has a car. You can watch each other's back.

Area and Hyde are not 18 and over. I am pretty sure Avalon is now 18+ on Friday nights, which is probably the least scary of the 18+ clubs.
