    Hollywood Music Director & KCRW DJ Chris Douridas uses this Monday night showcase to debut talent who go on to play MUCH larger venues within months - always for free, often their LA or even US debuts

    This lounge has it all, class, swanky decor, a comfortable ambiance, friendly staff and attracts good looking people(obviously one of the most important factors!).

    Not many bars like this in LA. They have done everything right. Great place to take out of town visitors...u will prob see a celebrity or two.

    It's a School Night on Mondays. Check out a free show. Tuesdays are Mr. Black, which has to be like a modern day Studio 54. Incredible.

    Wonder what Ryan Gosling's listening to? The actor is often found in the deejay booth of this club also known for burlesque shows, jazz and rock concerts–it even has room to showcase new art.

    Stage right stairs tend to be less crowded and being a little higher up gives you a great view of the bands.

    This place is super cool. Nice atmosphere and the drinks are stiff.

    Smoking area in the back... indoors! This place is really dead if you get there too early, it's a bit of a late crowd.

    One of the best bars in LA. Insane DJs, good people watching, occasional awe-inspiring performances.

    1 of the more expensive Monday residencies in terms of drinks. Better music acts though
