What People Are Saying About Gabah

The Scene – Hollywood pretension and hip-hop posturing take a back seat to the phat beats at this popping underground club that keeps it real. Gabah, which translates to "jungle" in Arabic, is located on the non-trendy stretch of Melrose Avenue east of Western. The intimate, leopard-spotted interior is divided into a main room, dance floor, lounge and stage area. A partially covered outdoor patio offers solace to chill and chat. Kangol-donning b-boys and girls shake it on a the sweaty, jam-packed dance floor as big-city bohemians nod their approval from the sidelines. – –…

great place!
by smbpromotions
This place is really nice the bartender makes great drinks. I had a great time! Another cool place is this brand new reggae/dub lounge on Tuesdays! The venue is perfect, not too big and not too small. Its called The Hollywood Canteen. Great outdoor setting plus indoor bar and restaurant. The music is amazing! They always have live bands + djs spinning the best reggae music in town! The crowd is very nice and relaxed and the drinks are amazing. Only $5 for 21+ and $15 for 18+. If you go tell the nice people at the door you heard of it from Sean. They are really cool unlike some other hollywood bouncers and such.

DON'T GO!

this place looked like someone's basement with some bamboo curtins hung up to try and make it cool. my friends and i went on a saturday night, there was no one there, and the smoking patio wasn't even open at 11pm. the dance floor was so dark because it seemed that they couldn't even afford to buy a lighting system. there were christmas lights around the dj booth to light the whole dance floor. how would you know if you were dancing with someone worth while? AVOID!

chill
by dancinchic
as soon as we walked in my friend mentioned how it felt like we were walking into sometimes dimly lit house. but it was a cool vibe all tiki-ished out. Music was a 7 since im not to into the disco house style. Loved the ambiance. its was some peoples bday so they sang and gave out cupcakes which was pretty cool. Def a very chill adn unpretentios place. Seems like everyone knew each other which made me wish i had more of my group with me.
- Pros: music, atmosphere, fans!! whoo-hoo
- Cons: parking
