    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. More >>

    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. More >>

  • 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. More >>

    Origami Vinyl

    1816 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026

    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.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. More >>

  • 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. More >>

  • Sancho

    Sancho

    1549 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026
    310-406-6685

    This small storefront is part of the burgeoning wave of Echo Park galleries and cafes that sometimes double as live-music venues. Following in the wake of the shuttered Echo Curio and cropping up alongside simpatico joints like Lot 1 Cafe, Sancho presents some of the better underground art and music shows. The gallery's clean white walls are brightened with colorfully dramatic exhibits and group shows by such diverse artists as Anthony Ausgang, Doug Cox, Amy Darsa, Art Morales, Victor Charles Balogh, Andy Takakjian and Marcel De Jure, and even arty musicians like Buko Pan Guerra, Joe Baiza, Nora Keyes and Dame Darcy. There's no alcohol, but there's also no age limit. Street parking. More >>

  • 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.

    http://www.storiesla.com This homey, down-home new-&-used bookstore and gift shop is wrapped like a heart around a cute little cafe, which dishes out coffee, hummus, pita bread and other snacks. Nestled in a row of simpatico establishments in Echo Park, the shop is not only "a place to hear up-and-coming authors read from their latest opuses," it's also "a place where you can use the word 'opus' ironically, or not!" Book signings, readings and kids' events often feature live folk, indie and country music from stellar locals, who perform on the back patio by a colorful mural. All ages. More >>

  • 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. More >>
