http://www.obriensonmain.com There are a lot of cool bars on Main Street in Santa Monica, but none of them consistently has as much live entertainment as this beloved Irish bar, which has been a cultural anchor in this neighborhood bordering Venice since 1995. There's music most nights of the week, and comedy the rest of the time in the bar's back room. Music ranges from folk and traditional to country and punk rock. Evoking the old country, O'Brien's is outfitted with antique wooden cabinets and vintage Guinness posters, and the bar lures in Irish exiles, tourists and local rugby and soccer clubs. Open for lunch and dinner every day, O'Brien's is a popular spot for catching the game, and also has a front patio, which is a great place to catch the endless parade of passersby on sunny Main Street. The kitchen serves basic bar food with an Irish twist, such as Irish nachos (with Guinness-braised beef), and the bar is well fortified with Irish beers like Harp and Guinness. Street parking.

http://www.observatoryoc.com If you visited the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana a couple years ago, you would've been met by cover bands, one-hit wonders or closed doors. It had its moments, of course, but those moments were rare thanks to a lengthy closure and lackluster booking. Enter Jon Reiser, former partner and booker for Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. Reiser purchased the venue and made several significant changes: booked popular acts, upgraded the sound system, added a smaller venue-in-a-venue called the Constellation Room. The Observatory now hosts popular acts such as Method Man , GWAR, Tiesto, Waka Flocka Flame and many, many more. That also includes residencies from local acts. Selling out shows is now a habit for this place. Most of all, it provides a valuable service to the whole county by bringing in acts we could usually only see by driving to Los Angeles. Oh, and it even—gasp!—makes Angelenos cross the Orange Curtain for a show. More >>
http://www.oldtonys.com It doesn't get any more “on the pier” than Tony's, the 50-year-old wooden seafood shack that actually sits aboard the planks of the Redondo Beach pier. The upstairs bar offers views that are a full 360 degrees, from the watery horizon line back towards the apartments that stretch for a sight of the shore, but you'll just as likely be staring down into your Mai Tai all night. It's a beguiling concoction splashed forth by a surly middle-aged bartender, at once simple and fruity, with an unexpectedly strong rum kick. Best of all, the glass it comes in doubles as a souvenir, a quiet reminder that not only is Tony's still serving the best Mai Tais you can find in Los Angeles, the place hasn't lost any charm in the process. Tony's boasts “romantic or family dining” and you'll see a bit of both – with dozens of seafood and shellfish options as well as steak and the inevitable surf and turf. More >>
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. More >>
http://www.laorpheum.com The elegant theater, which opened in 1926, is one of the classic movie palaces on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. After a long restoration, the historic venue has returned to its vintage appearance, with a Beaux Arts facade and an in-house Wurlitzer organ. Such performers as the Marx Brothers, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Stevie Wonder have appeared on its stage, and in more recent years it's hosted musicians like Natalie Merchant, Jackson Browne and Keane and television programs like America's Got Talent. And, in keeping with its storied past, the Orpheum still screens all manner of classic movies, including the L.A. Conservancy's beloved Last Remaining Seats series. No matter who's performing at the Orpheum, the venue itself is the star, with a balcony looking down over a large lobby, which is festooned with ornate lamp sculptures, vintage Deco couches and lavishly patterned carpets. All ages. Street parking. More >>
