A club with an adventurous booking policy that often features critical darlings yet to hit the big time. If you can stand the blue air, step up to the lounge, where there's a bar, pool tables, old-school video games and an amusing low-budget NASA decorating scheme. The only problem back there is when the jukebox is on during live sets--nothing like mistaking the onstage band for the next big thing, only to realize it's a muffled Velvet Underground demo. Musicians, writers, artists and others with odd haircuts meet to mingle and check out everything from experimental noise ensembles to rising…
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- Watch out for the blind curve when entering the valet lot from the south on Silver Lake Boulevard--many accidents occur that way. Beware of permit-only restrictions on the streets--residents are cracking down on violators.
- Save Money:
- Mondays are always free and often feature monthly headliner bands.
- Know Before You Go:
- It can get pretty smoky in the back room. If the vents aren't working right, Visine or fresh air will help.

too much money for pseudo hipness
by imsohip
I paid an extra amount added to the ticket web's pirate ransom to avoid a line at willcall. That was BS and they made us wait with people in line that didn't pay the fee. The bouncer tried to frighten the crowd into paying valet to avoid getting parking tickets, the bartenders didn't give a hoot about CS and measured the booze they poured with a scale, the crowd was happy to stand around stepping on each other's tows, crowding in front of each other like lemmings and the sound man was an idiot who had no idea what he was doing with a mixing board, but looked cool with his dual 12 inch powerbooks. What a joke, never waste my time here again.
- Pros: cheap
- Cons: rude bartenders, money grubbing staff, crowd too hip for me

I will never go back
by disappointedbybadservice
I've been hearing about this place for a while and was excited to finally end up there for a show. 20 minutes later I was outside saying "I will never go back in there". The bartender was rude and unprofessional. The sad part is I work in a bar and have for ages. When I am disgusted you have to screw up pretty thoroughly. Oh and they allow smoking inside. Gross. Never again.
- Pros: cheap
- Cons: Terrible service, rude waitstaff, smoking inside bar

Great venue
by liae
I've seen many shows here and have loved every one. The closeness of the band to the audience and the sound were very good. I also really enjoy the varied artists they have. This is my favorite place in LA to see a show. It's small, and personal with the artists walking around afterwards. If you ever get an opportunity to get to a show here, you must go.

my favorite live venue
by caseyjacks
i've seen so many good bands here, including a few that are arguably too popular for a venue this size...huge mugs of Red Hook...$10 cover? you can't go wrong
- Pros: cheap
- Cons: can get too packed
