There’s a particular kind of thrill that happens in a photobooth once the sun sets and the drinks have settled in. A countdown, a few flashes, maybe one-too-many laughs, and for those handful of seconds, nothing else exists. In a city obsessed with aesthetics, old-school photobooths have been reclaiming their place in nightlife. No filters, no retakes, just black-and-white strips you’ll rediscover weeks later, like a souvenir from a night you almost forgot.

From Silver Lake dives to Arts District hideaways, these are ten bars where the photobooth captures the moments that let the night live on long past the last call.
