After celebrating at the GQ Men of the Year bash in Hollywood on Tuesday, Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul hit up hotspot Bootsy Bellows with a group of guy friends.

The actor and his pals arrived around 1:30 a.m. and hung out in the back VIP room, opting to party on the dance floor instead of at a table. Paul got "incredibly excited" when the DJ spun Michael Jackson's "Thiller," a source tells PEOPLE, and afterward, ran out of the VIP room, returning soon after with Pat Benatar's daughter, Haley Giraldo. The two seemed like old friends and danced to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" before Paul, who sipped on vodka cocktails throughout the evening, rocked out to the Four Tops hit "It's the Same Old Song."

Though Paul was without his fiancée, Lauren Parsekian, he "seemed really jovial and excited to be out with his boys all night," the source says. The guys had so much fun that they stayed until the lights came on and the club was closing.

Aaron Paul and his fiancée Lauren Parsekian snuck away for some alone time at the Clift Hotel in San Francisco recently.

The couple arrived at the Redwood Room – the hotel's romantic bar – and spent about an hour relaxing, ordering up a cheese plate that featured a variety of gourmet cheeses.

"It was just the two of them, quietly playing cards. Maybe Gin Rummy," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "They seemed relaxed and happy. They were having a mellow evening."

Even though Paul has starred in Breaking Bad for five seasons (and won two Emmys!), the casually dressed pair went "unnoticed by fellow guests," the source adds. "They were in laid-back San Francisco style."

How YouTube Helped Denzel Washington & Aaron Paul Play Alcoholics

Denzel Washington & Aaron Paul Learned to Play Alcoholics from YouTube Videos

Denzel Washington and Aaron Paul each had an entertaining time getting into their characters, who are both alcoholics, in their latest film roles – Washington as Whip Whitaker in Flight, and Paul as Charlie Hannah in Smashed.

But the fun didn't come from Method acting. It came from what Paul calls "amazing" videos of drunk people on YouTube.

"I watched so many funny videos," the actor, 33, tells Esquire.com. "There are so many. Just type in 'drunk people' or 'people drunk,' and you'll find some gems. There are amazing videos on YouTube that only have like 400 views. I'm just shocked that the entire planet hasn't seen them yet."
