Euphoria's world of East Highland, California, is a twisted one – and also, thankfully, not a real one (although many of the experiences of those in the show are a reality).

Creator Sam Levinson opted to skip out on almost all external locations, instead basing Rue, Jules, and everyone’s worlds mostly within the confines of the houses, school, and buildings they spend time in.

All of these were built on a soundstage in Sony Picture Studios in Culver City, allowing the show to keep plotlines a secret, and also to bring to life some of the more otherworldly moments, like the literally spinning room Rue finds herself in during the pilot episode.

However, there are a few notable exceptions of locations that you can spot, and are essential for a Euphoria superfan.

So, if you want to relive the Emmy Award-winning show for yourself, here’s some of the places (all located in California) that you can check out for the perfect Instagram shot.

Real Location: Ulysses S. Grant High School, 13000 Oxnard St, Van Nuys

East Highland High is one of the central locations of the show – so naturally Levinson ensured it was an iconic one.

Ulysses S. Grant High has been used dozens of times in TV and film, most notably 90s romcom Clueless (and the music video it inspired, Fancy by Iggy Azalea), Saved By The Bell, and Freaks and Geeks.

Euphoria uses East Highland for its exterior scenes – with the inside of the school recreated on a Sony Studios sound stage.

Real Location: 9201 East Las Tunas Drive, Temple City

The convenience store and gas station Fez and Ashtray doing their drug dealings from is a standalone, now-defunct, building, part of the chain Alta Dena Dairy.

While there may not be any business run from there anymore (let alone one that has an underground drugs side hustle), the building still stands, complete with its gas pump shelter.

Real Location: Del Amo Fashion Center, 3525 W Carson St, Torrance

Whether you want to be like Kat in season one while embracing her darker, more confident side and buying leather harnesses while strutting to Billie Eilish, or Maddy trying to find a new outfit that will show off her figure as best as possible, then the Del Amo Fashion Center is the place to go for your Euphoria style. Just be careful you’re not being followed around by Nate Jacobs…

Real Location: Moonlight Rollerway, 5110 San Fernando Road, Glendale

In a rare moment of joy for Rue, she’s seen laughing and enjoying a sober life with Jules and Lexi as they hit the roller-skating rink.

So you too can hit the rink Santigold’s Run The Road plays in the background, with a glitterball in the air and light up roller skates on your feet at the Moonlight Rollerway, which has existed for more than 70 years and has maintained a level of retro aesthetic.

Real Location: Frank’s Coffee Shop, 924 W Olive Ave, Burbank

In the first of two special episodes set between seasons one and two (and shot during the pandemic), Rue meets with her Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, Ali, on Christmas Eve at this classic-style American diner.

Due to the even heavier location restrictions because of the pandemic, the episode was almost entirely just the two characters, in this one location, as they discuss their additions and faith. Unfortunately, the diner has been ‘temporarily closed’ for service since December 2020, and their website no longer exists, but the building still stands, complete with its iconic signs.

Real location: El Matador State Beach in Malibu

In the second special, F--k Anyone Who’s Not A Sea Blob, Jules is seen discussing her trans identity with her therapist, while discussing how she hopes to be like the ocean. The calm and peaceful scene is actually filmed on El Matador State Beach which, depending on the day you go, could be as idyllically fantastical as the scenes shot on it.

Real Location: Odd Ball Cabaret Showgirls, 8532 Sepulveda Blvd, North Hills

This might be one for the little less faint-hearted, but if you’re on a Euphoria mission, then why not? Just make sure you’re over 21 if you want to go inside.

In the show, Fezco’s dad ran the place when Fez was a kid, and still might for all we know, as his grandma stormed the place, shot the abusive man in the legs, and took her grandchild for herself - straight into the life of drug dealing. So don’t mess with the owner, and we’re guessing you’ll have a good time.

Real Location: Hideaway Country Bar and Grill, 12122 Kagel Canyon Street, Sylmar

In season two, we discover Nate Jacobs’ repressed-bisexual father Cal was once in love with his best friend, Derek. In a flashback, we see Derek and Cal head to a gay bar on the outskirts of town together, before dancing and kissing for the first time.

Cal’s life changes forever the next day when he discovers his girlfriend is pregnant, setting him down the destructive secret double life we know him to have - but in this moment he was seen as close to happy as we ever see him.

The Hideaway isn’t a gay bar, but is a great place to grab a beer and a burger while pointing out where the scenes were shot.

Real Location: Bowlium Lanes, 4666 Holt Blvd, Montclair, CA, USA

In season two, Kat, Maddy, Jules, and Ethan are all seen bowling in a rare simplistic and light-hearted day out together.

The group is seen standing on the lanes themselves as they pose for a polaroid camera (except poor Ethan, who is just kind of… there keeping an eye on the bags or something.)

In real life, that is the Bowlium Lanes, which is proud of its retro style, cosmic bowling nights, and themed events and has a longstanding in the community for something to do.
