Los Angeles, California
Cuban-American restaurant and dance club in WeHo's Rainbow District.
Beaches Tropicana is the flagship of the Beaches group, set in West Hollywood's Rainbow District in the former Heart WeHo space at 8911 Santa Monica Blvd — a separate, larger room from the original Beaches bar across the street at 8928. It reopened in 2024 after a renovation, with Heart's Paul Nicholls and Lance Bass among the partners who joined the Beaches team. The format pairs a full Cuban-American restaurant with a multi-level entertainment club: VIP balconies, private booths, and bottle service built for dinner-into-dancing under one roof. Programming is event-driven — ticketed live shows, drag nights, themed dance parties, and drag brunch fill out the calendar, so the night you pick shapes what you get. The crowd skews dressed-for-it, a mix of WeHo locals and visitors who want a sit-down meal and a show without leaving the Rainbow District. If you're starting a night on Santa Monica Blvd and want food before the floor fills, this is the anchor.
