http://www.themintla.com In a city where history is measured in months instead of decades, the Mint is a real cultural treasure. The bar has been presenting live music ever since it opened in 1937, and Stevie Wonder, Macy Gray, Ray Charles, Zigaboo Modeliste, Leo Nocentelli, Royal Crown Revue and the Wallflowers are among the many notable musicians who've performed on its small stage. The room has a homey appeal, with kitschy artifacts like Johnny Cash paintings and glass display cases with souvenirs from such celebrities as Jackson Browne artfully blended with burnished wooden walls and cozy booths decorated with ornate lamps and plush velvet drapes. The ceiling above the bar is covered with old vinyl 45s, and the overall vibe appeals to rock & roll fanatics and hardcore roots-music aficionados. The large menu puts a fresh spin to classic American, Asian and Southwestern fare with such specialties as calamari tempura, Creole jambalaya, grilled salmon with mango chutney, "twisted" mac & cheese, and smoked Gouda and chicken quesadillas. You can sit at the bar, which has a full range of beer, wine and spirits, or at comfortable booths along the walls. Better yet, find a seat at the tables that abut the low stage for an even more intimate musical experience. Ages 21 & over. Street parking. More >>
http://www.mollybloomspub.com The interior of Molly Bloom's has the standard Irish-pub features: low lighting, Guinness posters and bricks. Lots of bricks. Both bar and restaurant offer sizeable menus featuring traditional Irish dishes such as fish and chips and bangers, beans and mash (a surprisingly tasty combination of sausages, baked beans and mashed potatoes).

http://www.mollymalonesla.com Run by the same family since it opened in 1969, this neighborhood Irish bar has friendly regulars, and Guinness stout and Harp lager on tap. Music ranges from traditional Irish drinking songs to original singer-songwriters and bands. Joan Osborne, Lenny Kravitz and Michelle Shocked are among the musicians who've played here. Full bar. Over 21. More >>
http://mrtsbowl.tripod.com The bowling lanes may no longer be open at Mr. T's Bowl, but the longtime bar remains one of Highland Park's main live-music nightclubs. The place is still run by the family of its namesake founder, Joe Teresa, who opened Mr. T's Bowl in 1966 and died in 2004. The venue has undergone several distinct incarnations over the decades, evolving from a blue-collar bowling alley and neighborhood bar into the art-punk hipster hangout Fuzzyland in the early 1990s, before settling into its current role as a showcase for indie-rock bands from the northeast side of Los Angeles. The decor retains much of the club's original charm, with Christmas lights twinkling over the cluttered bar and vestiges of the old bowling lanes still visible behind the stage curtain. The main music room has a low stage, scattered tables and a wide area for dancing and mingling, while the bar is situated to the side in a nook with comfortable booths. Beck, Los Abandoned, the Breeders, 8-Bit, Backbiter, Saccharine Trust, Third Grade Teacher and Go Betty Go are among the many musicians who've played there, and Mr. T's currently alternates bookings of indie, pop and garage combos with burlesque nights. The affable soundman Arlo has been such a veteran fixture in the sound booth that a local band once named themselves after him. The full bar stills draws early-evening visits from the feisty 70-something barflies who've been coming here for years, before younger scenesters fill the place later at night. Mr. T's has its own parking lot, and patrons enter through the back entrance by the lot. Ages 21 & over. More >>
http://www.muldoonspub.com The perfect fish-and-chips search ends here. Five pieces of fresh red snapper are piled atop skin-on shoestring fries made from real potatoes. The batter on the fish is golden and puffy, like fried cumulus clouds. And the Irish soda bread will make you a regular. More >>
http://www.musiccenter.org Downtown L.A.'s sumptuous Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, home to the Los Angeles Opera, has aged more beautifully than most civic buildings from the 1960s. Its 3,197 seats — many of them good ones — are set in four tiers, and concert-goers reach the upper sections by gliding up enormous curving stairways that seem borrowed from a Golden Era movie. The former site of the Academy Awards, the Dorothy Chandler features a towering lobby with massive, pendant-style crystal chandeliers and upper-story picture windows that offer fine views of downtown. The interior is drenched in gold tones that some say make the dressed-up crowds look even more refined. A number of beautiful, spacious hallways and carpeted interior plazas are used as gathering spots by patrons who mill around with drinks during intermissions or after a performance — room-like spaces that double as pricey wedding venues. The Dorothy Chandler's grand entryway opens to a popular above-street-level outdoor plaza with a splashing fountain where, before the show, patrons eat take-out salads and cheese plates from the plaza's Spotlight Cafe. Others try for a table at the more formal Pinot Grill or, downstairs, Kendall's Brasserie and Bar. More >>
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://www.pacamp.com This monstrous our door venue at the OC Fairgrounds is the official beacon of the summer concert season for those who frequent the OC Fair in Costa Mesa. After you’re done chomping down on a prehistoric turkey leg or a mouthwatering burger, the chance to watch some of the biggest names in pop and rock should not go unfulfilled. Especially since most of the ticket prices for these shos aren’t gonna break the bank. For the local music fan who might never spend money on a ticket to see Adam Lambert of Three Dog Night, the sole reason for the Pacific Amphitheater's existence is to welcome the return of bands who've gone out into the record industry wilderness and come back rockstars. And if you can pack that sucker, then by god, you've made it. More >>
http://www.goldensailshotel.com/pchclub/ The PCH club is a happening bar in an unexpected location. The first floor of a Best Western Hotel. But don't let the maids and sun screened tourists mislead you, this spot is serious about live entertainment. Housed in a cavernous concrete floor room, the PCH Club features a small bar area, several tables and, in a red-hued, backlit corner, a couple of booths. You'll also notice a large stage against one of the walls where live shows are a nightly occurrence thanks to Lynn Nicholson and Top Rock Entertainment. The PCH is frequently host to rock & roll cover bands such as Cubensis, as well as weekly karaoke nights. The full bar serves up stiff drinks and a respectable selection of draft beers including Dos Equis, Sam Adams Summer Ale, Blue Moon, Bud Light and Coors Light. Depending on the label, a pint will run you between $4 and $5. More >>
http://www.pikelongbeach.com Not to be confused with that taxpayer-subsidized, almost-always-barren-of-tourists monstrosity known as the Pike in Rainbow Harbor, Long Beach's the Pike is a bar and grill owned by Chris Reece, drummer for the famed SoCal punk band Social Distortion. Located on Fourth Street near the Art Theater in the town's hip vintage-boutiques district, the sea foam green walls sport a kitschy mix of nautical flotsam and punk-rock memorabilia. The jukebox rocks everything from the Misfits to Gram Parsons. Pretty cocktail waitresses serve up drinks from the full bar as well as a small selection of brews. Labels include : Pyramid Hef, Stone IPA and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. More >>
http://www.portfoliocoffeehouse.com Though there's no alcohol served-wait! Keep reading!-this stylish and quaint coffeehouse is a perfect little spot for those looking to relax, make use of the computers available or get some work done on their own laptop. Although Fridays and Saturdays usually involve live music, Wednesdays are especially entertaining thanks to open-mic night when anyone itching for the spotlight can sign up for his/her 15 minutes of fame. Bonus: Portfolio serves the best Mexican hot chocolate this side of the border. More >>
http://www.prospectorlongbeach.com Gussied up in gold rush decor, this legendary watering hole evokes a saloon from the old west, or maybe Knott's Berry Farm. With a full complement of liquors, it's the spot to go for fried bar appetizers, and bourbon. A moderate beer selection includes Budweiser, Stella, Haywire Hef and Prospector Pale Ale. Most nights feature live music from local indie bands. More >>
http://www.thequesera.com Bar, venue and club, Que Sera appears to be your basic multipurpose night spot. Located in a somewhat gritty neighborhood (trrrry not to walk to your car alone after stumbling out at 1 a.m.), Que Sera is what it is: a dive bar with a stage. But that doesn't make it any less of a great spot to hit up. Easily one of the most frequented spots by audiophiles and hipsters alike, Que Sera is notable for its live local rock shows, in addition to its dance/DJ nights, particularly Good Foot, a popular funk and soul night that has been taking place the second Friday of the month since 1998.
