Joint

09/06/2006 Posted 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!!! MR PERKINS HORNZ AND HALOS

Pros: NEWLY REMODELED!!!

Cons: NOT MANY...IF ANY!

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

it's a rock and roll venue dropped in one of the more jewish areas of beverly hills. makes for short walks to some interesting markets and eateries. high stage makes watching easy. draws a mixed crowd of age, style, and IQ, which is great. i've never had an off social moment with a patron or an employee. the music is always going to be hit or miss in a town with a million asperations and only a pocketfull of real talent, but it's one of the made venues in LA, so it's going to represent LA live music pretty well. parking is good if you're early, but beware the dental "we tow" signs, because those three spots are a shakedown. very comfortable, large booths, but if they're all taken, it can be a drag. backstage bathrooms are clean. feels like you're draining vip style. what more? not a bad place.

They seem to book bands that can't get gigs anywhere else. Don't go there looking to hear a decent band. However, if you want to hear lower end talent and people-watch. This is your place. The place itself is really small. As I stated above, the bands are really below average to bad and are usually the ones that are deperately trying to find a gig. So if you don't mind bad talent, being overcharged for a beer, being crowded by rock n roll posers; both on the floor and on the stage, then this is the place for you. However, I would not recommend it for a night out.

Pros: can't think of any

Cons: small, bad, bad talent , overpriced

The Joint on Pico is a great spot on Wed. nights. Happenin' Harry and his crue are in charge of the nights event and the cover to see live music is rarely over seven dollars. And, for that mere $7 you get to see some pretty fun music The sound system is great and the staff is avant gaurd and friendly. The bartender doesn't make too many foo foo drinks but, the ones he poors are classic and pack a punch!! My girlfriends and I were at the Joint on Wed. June 15th and saw our favorite Local rock band, ' Wheresbrett ' who put on yet another fantastic show. If your friends band is playing the joint go see them. If you want the chance of meeting the likes of Robert Plant, Slash, or Vivian Campbell this is a great little hollywood secret you should discover.

Pros: Location, Staff, Live Music

Cons: Parking, No food at night

Waiting outside for 45 mins when the place is empty isn't right, the bartenders are more into themselves than getting you a drink and paprking is tricky too. I used to like this place but I won't be back after my visit the other night. It's too bad, this used to be one of the better venues around, now it looks like they are trying to make it just another forgettable foo-foo hollywood club after the renovation. Some of the most clueless staff I've ever seen at a club.

Pros: decor, live music

Cons: staff, drink selection

Decent venue, but slightly cramped. Nothing too terrible though. They have some decent acts come through, but they also allow some of the lower end L.A. bands take the stage. If you friend's band is playing here, then you have an excuse to go...otherwise flip a coin.

I love this place..... It's such a cozy place for me. The kind of place where the door guy and bar tender remembers you, and is cool with you whether you're a guy or girl. And it's a plus that the bartender makes good drinks...... Tip him well!! He has a REALLY good memory.

Just a good place to be, whether you want to be lost in the noise & crowd, or you want to be in on the celebration. Enjoy the music, enjoy the people.

Pros: Music, Atmosphere, Crowd

Cons: Parking
