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. More >>
http://www.aframejazz.com In this Hollywood Hills home, distinguished older gentlemen sit in neat rows beside ladies with fans dressed in their Sunday best — if it weren't for the posters of Duke Ellington, Wycliffe Gordon and John Coltrane adorning the walls, it would be easy to mistake the A Frame for church. It's not, but on Sundays once a month, the living room of Betty Hoover's home becomes an intimate venue — improvised, like the best jazz — where guests can listen to world-class artists play, and chat them up over an egg salad sandwich afterward. A donation of $45 to $50 buys entry to the show, lunch and drinks. Just remember the house rule: The musicians always eat first. More >>

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. More >>

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. More >>
