Like Gaul, J N J is divided into three parts: a shaded, gravel-floored dining area; an area dedicated to hamburgers; and the inner sanctum - a worn counter, a kitchen that resembles a temporary structure built to feed hungry firemen, and the smoker itself, a mammoth, puffing construction that has been built to resemble a splendid steam engine. The brawny, dripping beef ribs are great, and the chicken is fine and moist. But J N J's long-cooked spare rubs are compelling - blackened, rendered of most of their fat, tending almost toward a jerkylike chaw, saturated with smoke, and profoundly spicy even without the sauce, which blankets the pork like a winter coat. J N J may not be the most polished restaurant in Los Angeles, but it may be the closest thing you are going to find to a country-road shack within city limits. See full review.

http://www.javiers-cantina.com Located directly across from the ocean, Javier's newest location is more opulent than ever. Walking into Javier's Cantina-through palm trees and fire-is like walking into another land. The dimly lit bar has a club vibe; the metal tree sculpture holding various tequilas over the bar is worth the trip in just to ogle. Of course, dining at a place like this can be pricey, but if you get to Javier's early, you can snag a seat on the patio and indulge in its happy hour. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.jaxbarandgrill.com Jax has survived the whipsaws of economic ups and downs and store closures on Brand Boulevard in Glendale since 1984 because it's got great food as a mere backdrop to a never-ending series of fine, straightforward jazz acts. You can return to Jax again and again, and it's fresh, excellent and worth it. It's a skinny space, set up to feel like a comfortable living room with a bar and a small stage. But you won't be doing much talking with your dinner anyway, because the music is loud and works its way into your brain. You'll hear featured artists like Jack Sheldon, Bruce Lofgren, Andrea Miller, Fred Horn, Gina Eckstine, L.A. Jones and Papa Lee. The website has a killer calendar with acts and extensive photos set up well in advance, and it's hard to beat the $2 wheat beer during happy hour. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

At Jillian?s, there are two bars serving smoothies while kids busy themselves tossing virtual bowling balls around. Stressed-out parents can relax and unwind in an old-fashioned diner.

http://www.joejosts.com At Joe Jost's divey little Long Beach enclave, drinkers come for the frosty beers but stay for the pickled eggs. That's right; Jost's is locally legendary for its spicy-brined eggs, dashed with black pepper and tossed back with a handful of pretzel sticks at the bar. The eggy, slightly funky, protein-rich orbs are a throwback to the 1920s, when the bar's namesake Hungarian owner sold them by the Mason jar full to stay open during Prohibition. Thankfully, those days are long gone now, and only the pickles remain. The classic draught beer is served up near freezing in thick glass goblets, perfect for ducking the Long Beach heat while riding one of the old metal barstools. For the brave, there is a small stage in the corner where an occasional strummer plucks away at his acoustic guitar, but most everyone in the room is either taking a bite of the hot dog on rye sandwiches, swallowing another bite of pickled egg or sipping happily away at their beer in one of the oldest continually operational bars west of the Mississippi.

http://www.joesgreatbar.com Since it opened in 2005, Joe's really has been one of the San Fernando Valley's greatest bars, with live entertainment nightly and a large dance floor. The Burbank nightclub is renowned for booking top country-music performers, but rock, swing, rockabilly and blues musicians often appear on Joe's low stage, augmented by regular karaoke nights. The expansive room, decorated by a mural of famous musicians, looks even larger with mirrors lining the walls. For all of its allure as one of the Valley's leading live-music venues, Joe's Great American Bar & Grill is also a hardcore sports bar, with no less than seven television sets, including two with 100-inch screens. In-house diversions for barfly athletes include darts and a pool table. During football season, the grill opens early at 9 a.m., with breakfast available until 11 a.m. The menu features such basic bar-food staples as burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads, and appetizers like buffalo wings and potato skins. The overall mood is unpretentious, and Joe's is just as much a comforting, welcoming neighborhood bar as it is a live-music club and a sports bar. Full bar. Ages 21 & over. Free lot parking and on the street. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
In an unusual contrast, this mainstay on Main Street in Santa Monica serves classic American diner food and yet also has an extensive wine list. The long, narrow, unpretentious room is brightened with porthole-like mirrors. A counter runs the length of the room, with a small kitchen at the end. Street parking. Beer & wine.

http://www.thejointlive.com This live-music bar has long featured rockers like regular Waddy Wachtel, who's occasionally brought in such stellar guest pals as Keith Richards. Full bar. Over 21. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://gollibee.com.ph Why do we love Jollibee? Is it the happy plastic mascot outside that looks like Big Boy crossed with an apple maggot? Could it be the goopy cheeseburgers, the fried chicken or the violet, boba-laden milkshakes made with the purple yam called ube? Might it be the palabok fiesta, squishy rice noodles glazed with shrimp, ground pork and fluffy fried-fish powder? Or is it just the sheer happiness involved in ordering Chickenjoy, Jolly Spaghetti and Yumburgers with cheese, which sound like formulations from the mind of George Orwell or Terry Southern? The fast-food chain, which has 500-odd outlets in the Philippines, has been resident in Cerritos for years, but the shiny, new outlet on Beverly near Vermont is its first freestanding foray into L.A. proper. You can get your ube shakes from the drive-through window. And Jollibee throws instructional Tagalog DVDs in with its kids’ meals instead of plastic Disney characters. What more could you want?

http://www.joxerdalysirishpub.com Things might get loud and raucous in this spacious, 40-year-old bar and grill (especially during big sporting events) but it never gets too unruly, thanks to the room's regulars: off-duty cops and firefighters. Law enforcement patches, newspaper clippings and handwritten notes and signs about L.A.'s finest adorn the walls, and the front end of a CHP bike protrudes from the main front wall. A life-size statue of a firefighter and a wall devoted to 9/11 round out the decor. With its sports and man-in-uniform focus, vast beer selection and pub grub, Joxer Daly's is definitely male-geared, but the female waitresses and amenity-stocked ladies' room balance things out, and nights featuring entertainment (karaoke, bluesy and classic-rock bar bands) turn this blue-collar pub into a veritable nightclub.

http://www.jumbos.com This legendary bikini bar may not be as seedy as it was in the '80s or even before the '04 city ordinance that made the ladies cover up and wear bikinis during their dances, but Jumbo's will always be a wild time, thanks to titillating entertainment, great music and strong drinks. The family-owned business first opened in its mini-mall location back in 1970, and though it was once known for its less than alluring performers (typified by Courtney Love's druggy dance period), these days it's a bubbling babe-fest, with burlesque-style vignettes and loads of lovely rock 'n' roll-ish lasses and tatted tarts grinding to everything the Stones to Black Sabbath to David Bowie, all showing off athletic pole work and dramatic costumes and themes. For many, the performances onstage have become secondary to the bar's colorful atmosphere itself, but whether you come here to guzzle or ogle, Jumbo's guarantees big fun.
