The Scene – According to owner-actor Joe Reynolds, the "M" stands for music, martinis and mangia (Italian for "eat"). Enter through red velvet drapes to find a speakeasy-like interior dripping in dramatic red, from the vinyl booths to the server's micro-miniskirt. The crowd is eclectic and the mood is bohemian--low lighting, high artistic vibe. – – The Food – The simple, casual Italian fare is almost an afterthought. Like the live performances on certain evenings, it ranges from inspiring to bland. The latter includes doughy pizzas with extras like prosciutto or…

M Bar is a pretty funny place!
by Barryjr at Citysearch
I've been a few times, the food is decent enough, they pour a good drink, good service, nice staff and great decor. You kind of have to know what you are going there for as every night is different.
I can tell you that the Kickstand Comedy show there is great every time. Last Thursday of the month, no cover, free parking and no drink minimum (there is a $10.00 food purchase required...I recommend the Pizza!).
It's usually 5 or 6 comics telling funny stories, so not the same old stand up. Traci Swartz hosts and performs every week and the lineup changes every month. Last week Eddie Pepitone killed and the guy who hosts the Hollywood Podcast was pretty great as well.

GREAT SHOW GREAT FOOD
by hollywoodstar at Citysearch
I am always looking for a cool cabaret atmosphere in Los Angeles and it's not easy to find. M Bar has it. It's cozy with banquettes and red velvet a la old time Hollywood. I like to have cocktails and nibble and this is the place to do it. The drinks were great, but the little nibbly things on the menu were awesome. I had the chicken pizza which was so delicious and the calamari. My friend had pasta which he constantly raves about. What impressed me the most was the show. We saw this trio of comics called "The Qu**rs of Comedy" and let me tell you, they were hysterical. They showed video clips of them in their everyday life to introduce the audience to each one as he entered the stage. All three were very different from each other in appearence and in comic style yet the common thread among them works. I've called to find out if they perform there regularly and was told they do...go to M Bar and catch The Qu**rs of Comedy.
- Pros: Great cabaret atmosphere...awesome show
- Cons: one server did well but they could use one more

Fun Place - Waitstaff very welcoming and friendly
by yourownliz at Citysearch
We had a salad with seared Ahi and a Pizza. The other person must have been there on a bad night because the Pizza was good. My boyfriend is a Pizza snob and he enjoyed it. They brought our food late and to make up for it they gave us free drinks & dessert. Karaoke on Tuesday night sounds fun - we'll be back!
