Trip

Trip

Perched on the edge of Santa Monica, Trip is indeed a trip. From the outside, it looks like an everyday neighborhood bar, but the club is actually one of the Westside's leading hot spots, with nightly no-cover live music, comedy and burlesque.
The Redwood Bar & Grill

The Redwood Bar & Grill

A longtime haunt for politicians and journalists, this downtown bar hosts an endless parade of punks and roots rockers on its small, low stage, set against a festively nautical backdrop of fishing nets and mermaid paintings.
The Satellite

The Satellite

Once known as Spaceland and, before that, Pan, this Silver Lake bar continues to host before-they're-famous indie-rock bands alongside the occasional anti-comedian and film screening. Mondays are usually no cover.

    The Echo

    1822 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-413-8200

    http://www.attheecho.com The longtime Nayarit nightclub is a lively Echo of its old self, with indie, post-punk, funky soul, country, dance nights and even kids' music. Other events range from wine tastings to spoken-word readings. The Echo Park club is connected to a separate-admission bigger room downstairs, the Echoplex. Many indie-rock and punk bands have made the Echo their home over the years, including W.A.C.O., the reunited Germs, Tulsa Skull Swingers, Summer Darling and the Gears, as well as touring combos like the Dirtbombs, Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter, the Ettes and Southern Culture on the Skids. The Echo has a full bar, with an outdoor smoking patio. Monday nights are generally no cover. Age limit varies. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • El Prado

    El Prado

    1805 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-484-6079

    http://www.elpradobar.com This wine bar's post across the street from the Echo (and the fact that it shares the same owner) isn't the only reason El Prado has fast become hipster central. The constantly changing wine and beer list is exceptional, the warm, amber-lit look of the place is simple yet stylish, and the bartenders play groovy jams (from a turntable behind the bar). Yeah, it's hip, but it's sophisticated hip, not grungester hip like other bars in the area (Gold Room, Little Joy, etc.). Brick, wood and chalkboard walls enclose the place, and the long wood bar sees pop-in drinkers and all-night Echo Park seat-parkers alike. Cheese plates and other light pairing-appropriate bites are available. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • The Fretted Frog

    The Fretted Frog

    1200 N. Alvarado St. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-353-0734

    http://www.thefrettedfrog.com This self-described "alternative" music store and venue on Alvarado Street offers sales and repairs of acoustic guitars, banjos, ukuleles, mandolins and other fretted instruments. The Frog specializes in rare European guitars, including such brands as George Lowden and Cole Clark. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about repair tips and music lessons, and the overall vibe is warm and inviting, especially compared to the elitism and officiousness at larger music stores. Best of all, the new shop is attempting to be Echo Park's equivalent to the legendary West Los Angeles music venue McCabe's. Live entertainment includes regular open mikes and acoustic-oriented music performances, and several big names in the alt-folk universe, such as Marianne Dissard and Francoiz Breut, have recently performed in the Frog's airy, homey main room. Metered street parking is available on Alvarado. All ages. No alcohol. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • The Gold Room

    The Gold Room

    1558 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-482-5259

    On Sunset in between the Echo and Little Joy, the Gold Room's location would lead you to believe that it has long been taken over by what some classic hater graffiti in the bathroom at Little Joy calls "gringo hipster trash." But the Gold Room has only begun to transform. While Tuesdays are now advertised as "A Night of '90s Awesome," and therefore attract the kind of people who like to sing along to "Sweet Child of Mine," there are more than vestigial elements of the very local, older, Latino crowd that remain in full force. The groups seem to get along well, however, and the $4 Tuesday night special, which includes a shot of crap tequila and a beer of your choosing, seems to lubricate the integration process. Everyone is friendly and waiters will come to serve you in the small adjoining alleyway where barstools and ashtrays are set up for smokers. There smokers can watch Jeopardy undisturbed by the noise and neon palm trees of the interior. (Reviewed by Guelda Voelen) Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • Katzen Kultur Klub

    1717 Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026

  • Little Joy Cocktail Lounge

    1477 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-250-3417

    A dive bar in the truest sense, Little Joy's cracking walls are covered with grime, their vinyl booths are tattered and sticky and the overhanging Budweiser lamps are dim. Pool tables are placed in the back and regulars slump over the bar. A jukebox generally crackles out a range of songs, but DJs and musicians often frequent the bar as well. Lacking a soda gun, mixers are poured from their two liter bottles often with less fizz then desired, and ice seems to be semi-nonexistent, but the bartenders are friendly. The crowd is generally artsy, gay and local. If you want to experience a real, unpretentious, whole-in-the-wall dive bar, Little Joy is the place for you. Bring cash - no credit cards are accepted.

  • Lot 1 Cafe

    Lot 1 Cafe

    1533 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-481-8400

    http://www.lot1cafe.com Some restaurants emerge fully formed, rough edges smoothed by architects and restaurant consultants, menus run through focus groups. Lot 1 is the other kind of new restaurant, a raw space seemingly willed into being, black walls and nine funky tables, heart-stoppingly beautiful tattooed waitresses, and a farmers-market-intensive roster of dishes. I was happy to hear the entire first Black Sabbath album played as soft background music. Restaurant owner Eileen Leslie murmurs about doubling the restaurant's size, installing a tasting menu, beefing up the air conditioning and becoming licensed for beer and wine. She's making it up as she goes along, which could be either annoying or incredibly cool, depending on where you stand on these things. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • Origami Vinyl

    Origami Vinyl

    1816 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-413-3030

    http://origamimusic.blogspot.com The vinyl record store (and music label) offers the latest 7-inch singles and 12-inch LPs by underground and indie hepsters, as well as vintage releases by classic rock, punk and alternative bands. The narrow, high-ceiling Echo Park shop also hosts free, all-ages shows. Most performances start at 7 p.m. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

    Pehrspace

    325 Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-483-7347

    http://www.pehrspace.org Hidden in the back of the drab Glen Village parking lot in Filipinotown, this art gallery and live-music space may seem plain on the outside, but it's a veritable hothouse blooming with wild expressions of art and underground and indie rock. Run by volunteers, Pehrspace is a not-for-profit, all-ages venue. Call to schedule appointments for exhibit viewings. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • Rafa

    Rafa's Lounge

    1836 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-413-4464

    http://www.rafaslounge.com Located just steps from the Echo nightclub in Echo Park, Rafa's Lounge is a comparatively low-key hangout, with live-music performances, art openings and even regular chess matches. The room's entrance is a nondescript doorway that's easy to miss on Sunset Boulevard, but, once you head down the stairs into the lounge's several adjoining rooms, you'll be amazed by the vibrant paintings and elaborate sculptures that decorate the gallery. Set off by a large glass porthole, the main room features a low stage where bands set up, just a few feet away from the beer-&-wine bar. Much of the artwork is for sale, as are the metal sculptures, which are welded and fabricated in house. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • Short Stop

    Short Stop

    1455 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-482-4942

    On weekends and hot DJ nights (Wednesdays and Thursdays) there is literally a line down the block to get into this popular Echo Park bar (named for its proximity of Dodger Stadium), and for the most part it's worth the wait. The red-hued dance room feels like a bonafide dance club, but the place is always free and filled with hip yet friendly local boogie-ers and barhoppers. There's a great pool table area, a black & white photo booth that's extra brightly lit and thereby makes everyone look good, and a guy often selling $1 tamales near the door (the ubiquitous bacon-wrapped hot dog vendors are always outside too). It might be a scenester circus, but the Short Stop's also made a point of keeping around reminders of the day when it was a popular policeman hangout: memorabilia like billyclub parts, badges, patches and gun lockers, and a bounty of bullet holes behind the bar and in the front door.

  • Taix French Restaurant

    Taix French Restaurant

    1911 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-484-1265

    http://www.taixfrench.com The Taix family has been running this French restaurant since 1927, and in this location as a virtual Echo Park landmark since the early 1960s. There are six banquet rooms, as well as a 21-&-over live-music bar. For all of the European elegance of the banquet rooms, it's in the restaurant's 321 Lounge that Taix feels warmest and homiest. In recent years, the bar's humble floor-level stage in front of a simple brick-wall backdrop has borne witness to a surprising diversity of crucial local musicians, ranging from straight-ahead country-rock dreamers to truly out-there funk-jazz experimentalists. Low-key indie rock bands trade off with raging instrumental surf combos, followed by sweet pure-pop balladeers. As wild as the music sometimes get, the restaurant has a contrastingly traditional and continental ambiance, due in large part to a menu that's heavy on rustic French fare like duck a la orange, braised rabbit, butterflied trout, onion soup and escargot. Naturally, with such a fervent Francophile emphasis, the restaurant and full bar uncork a broad selection of fine French wines. Valet parking is available in Taix's lot, and metered parking can be found on the street. No cover. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

  • TiGeorge

    TiGeorge's Haitian Chicken

    309 Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    213-353-9994

    http://www.tigeorgeschicken.com Don't believe the rumors – Westlake's famed Haitian restaurant TiGeorges' Chicken isn't going anywhere, according to George Laguerre himself. The native Haitian has made his famous chicken for more than a decade, and despite whispers of impending closure, the perfectly seasoned cluckers with a side of rice and beans will continue to emerge from the kitchen. The vibe inside, all bright colors and tiled tables, isn't going away either. But the next time you consider heading over the Glendale Boulevard for some of that famous spit-fired bird or the perfectly fried plantains, stop by early for a sip of Laguerre's Haitian coffee. The beans are straight from his family's own farm, roasted on site with a bit of brown sugar and poured over with steamed milk that tastes of bay leaves and key lime. There are no conflicting rumors as to who makes the best Haitian coffee in Los Angeles -- it's Laguerre. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
