Harvelle's

A dark sexy spot for listening, dancing and drinking

  • Happy Hour
  • Open Jams
  • Blues, Soul and Funk

Established in 1931, Harvelle's is the oldest live music venue on the westside. The dark, sexy room is the perfect spot for listening, dancing and drinking to the best local, national and international artists. Harvelle's is a Santa Monica staple for live jazz and blues music acts.

Every Sunday, don't miss The Toledo Show for pure unadulterated soul, jazz and burlesque performances.

Editorial Review for Harvelle's – by Lee Parker

In Short
Long before the House of Blues came to town, there was Harvelle's--still considered by most to be L.A.'s truest music club. This small, dark venue offers live tunes and dancing nightly, showcasing local and touring bands that play the blues spectrum, from West Coast swing to R&B- and soul-influenced jams. The atmosphere is unpretentious and adult. Portraits of greats such as Billie Holiday and B.B. King adorn black walls, while a black-and-white checkerboard dance floor lies before the stage.

What to Drink

Consider the Harvelle's Blues Buster: Skyy vodka, DeKuyper's blue Curacao, 7UP and sweet and sour.

Know Before You Go

Eat before you arrive, as there is no food service. The cover charge varies depending on the act, but early birds get in free.

Music cool, and the one dancer was hot but not loving much else. Cover $10, drinks $24 parking $3 and for what ? I waited 30 mins. for the first set and it was 15 mins. long ...that's it? Save your time/money and go else where.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've only been here once, on Tuesday nights, and I was sold to come back after the first few minutes of walking in.
