la cita LA

Some only go there because of the fantastic Bandera shots or just like to have  a good time.  But after all it is a place to dance out. You will find always a mixed crowd, a decent sized dance floor and a patio for quiet talks. Sundays is for reggae lovers;  Monday is the Mustache night, Thursdays “Dance right” with a variety of DJ’s and music.

It is not a “dark Mexican Ranchero bar, no. It’s more hipster with its eclectic tunes and multiple spots to hang out.

Yelp says: 3.5 stars

Largo at the Coronet

largo at the coronet

Nestled in the heart of West Hollywood, Largo at the Coronet on La Cienega Boulevard is the perfect place to see and be seen in Los Angeles. The club is famous throughout the area for their spectacular comedic and musical performances, as well as the performances of resident singer/songwriter Jon Brion.

Owner Mark Flanagan opened Largo in the early 1990s on Fairfax Avenue. The original venue offered a maximum capacity of 130 people. Having outgrown its capacity, Flanagan moved the club to its current location in 2008. The main room of the Largo at the Coronet Theater seats 280 people in traditional theater-style seating and the “Little Room” can accommodate 65. The Little Room also serves as a place for people to gather for beer and wine before and after the shows, and allows artists to offer smaller performances in a more intimate setting.

Largo at the Coronet is even more popular in its new location on La Cienega than it was on Fairfax Avenue. The shows typically contain a mix of music and comedy and are often attended by celebrities. The nightclub has a great ambiance, the acoustics are amazing and there is not one bad seat in the house. Ticket prices are quite affordable, so shows often sell out quickly. Anyone interested in attending a show at the Largo at the Coronet should buy their tickets early and arrive at the venue early to get a seating assignment. Parking in the area can be difficult to find, but the Largo does have its own parking garage.

The Largo has launched the careers of many musicians and comedians, including Tenacious D and Jack Black. The theater has also hosted a wide range of celebrity acts, including Russell Brand, Sarah Silverman, Ben Folds and Fiona Apple. Yelp gives Largo four stars.

Location: 366 N. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048

Hours vary based on performances.

hotel cafe LA

If you’re visiting LA, the Hotel Café is a must-see venue. Located in the middle of Hollywood, this club will certainly make you feel at home. Sporting a dark, cool, and intimate atmosphere, the Hotel Café is a one-of-a-kind Hollywood location that’s free from busyness and pomp.

Lacking all forms of arrogance or the feeling of presumption, Hotel Café is as humble now as it was over twenty years ago. Starting out as a tiny coffee shop that didn’t even serve any alcohol, Hotel Café eventually made its was onto the map. Things really took off when Gary Jules drove by on his bicycle. Seeing an old piano in the window of the quaint café, Jules decided to ask if you could have a regular show every Tuesday night. Jules was already quite acclaimed after having his cover of Mad World featured in the cult-classic, Donnie Darko, and this quickly drew the attention of the locals. More and more people began performing at Hotel Café until the venue had a completely new feel: it was no longer a coffee shop, but was now a hit music venue.

Fast forward to the future and Hotel Café still hasn’t lost its soul. Despite its fame, Hotel Café still touts a bohemian, indie feel that keeps people coming back for more. Find it also on Yelp with formidable  4 ½ stars!
