Rock It Up on Monday night!

by NinaCo

I've been going to see the Waddy Wachtel Band at the Joint on Monday nights for 8 years, and there's never been a Monday I wasn't totally thrilled. If you enjoy classic rock, this is the place to be.

But BEWARE......... Citysearch lists Waddy Wachtel as playing there every Monday, but due to the heavy schedule of the band members touring with other performers, they're not at the Joint every Monday. Check out the Waddy Wachtel Band MySpace page for correct gigs.

We all have lots of fun at the Joint on Mondays. It's a beautiful venue and feels more like a mini concert than a bar. Lots of good vibes, drinks, dancing, sitting, and one FANTASTIC band.

WHOLE NEW PLACE!!!

by hornz_halos123

O.K....So check this out! I play for a hip-hop rock band called "HORNZ AND HALOS".

We had never played the JOINT before, and it had just been remodeled. People told us that it wasn't much. But I guess that was before they changed the place up for the better. Upon entering, I couldn't believe how fresh the flow of the place was. They have a new sound system that bangs throughout the entire place! We headlined that night, so i watched a few bands play from the crowd. It was hot!! Our performance was great, but that's besides the point! If anyone had a lame night here, I don't know what happened. But I had a blast! And the place was packed! After a few drinks the place even looked better. Girls were more responsive...Bartenders were on point. And that's with a hundred screaming people waving for a drink. I might have been V.I.P...but the bartender didn't know at the time. And I still got exactly what I wanted....Oh!..If you ever make it upstairs to the V.I.P. room, you can see the hottest paintings that are stuck to the ceiling...Like picasso's! I'm giving THE JOINT a thumbs up for presentation. And I'm giving all the haters who don't know what a real party is....A HUGE THUMBS DOWN!!!

call it as I see it didn't see it

Was at the joint the past week-end and had a blast. We had such a good time I felt inspired to look this place up and found this "review area" I was shocked to read some of the bad comments some people made. They seem to be in the middle of a renovation that is taking nice form. They have good cocktails, nice interesting people work there and the bands were pretty good. Over all we had a nice time and met some pretty cool people. When looking at the flyers from some of the other bands, we saw that they had calendars that included a huge smattering of L.A. clubs so, I do not believe that these bands could only get gigs here. I am lead to believe that .."callitasIseeit" and other people posting bad reviews are probably just jaded that they aren't playing there!!

• Pros: Stage, Music, Atmosphere
• Cons: Parking, Food
