Best

Get there early unless you want to be standing in the back. However, no matter where you are, if you are there to see one of your favorite artists it doesn't matter where you are ...

Worst

The last place you'd ever want to get stuck at. We went for the music and were lucky enough to catch the last 10 minutes of their set before the headliner finished up at 9:30. Wit...

Amazing Musicians Here! 11/29/2005

This place has got the best round up of regular local musicians I've seen. It's a really laid back place, with two bars, awesome cafe type food until 10pm, and a stage for whoever's performing at the time. Head to the smoking room with the piano after the show and you'll often one of the regulars drunk and taking requests. It's a blast. http://www.hotelcafe.com/ more

Editorial

  • The Scene
    Arrive early to score one of the too-close-together rickety tables, a la a Parisian cafe. Otherwise, you'll end up standing three rows deep behind the seating area. Attention is always focused on the small stage, where talented local singer-songwriters--and occasionally notable names like Swedish sensation Jose Gonzalez--share their musical vision. The cappuccino bar of the establishment's early days has evolved into a full liquor license, but there is still typical cafe fare to nibble on.

    The Draw
    There aren't many places in Hollywood where one will hear lyrics like, "Well, you know old Jethro went crazy ..." In fact, it's hard to believe this place even exists, let alone in the trendy Cahuenga Corridor. Couples in their 40s sit side by side with undernourished, young rockers. The atmosphere is infinitely friendly--ask the guy next to you how his panini is treating him, and he might just tear off a bite for you.
