http://www.boogaloo.com Founded in 1995, it has been Cafe Boogaloo's sole purpose to bring the best of art, music, food and social awareness to Hermosa Beach residents and its surrounding neighbors. The venue has since become a popular spot for artists of blues, roots, New Orleans funk, soul and numerous other eclectic musical genres to hit up during their tours of Southern California. In addition to their offering of sexy sounds and up-beat nightlife, Cafe Boogaloo takes comfort food seriously, using only fresh and organic ingredients to make its Southern-influenced & home-style foods. So come for the eats, stay for the music and leave with your senses satisfied. More >>
http://www.thecampsite.com There aren’t many places where you can go to get a wheat grass shot, vintage clothes, an Umami Burger and a live show all in one trip. But if you head down to the Camp on the right night, you’ll get all that and more. They’ll even throw in a parking spot with an inspirational message painted on it. Though it spends 99% of its time being an upscale open-air mall for the Central County hipster set, the Camp hosts plenty of pop-up local shows from outdoor mini festivals to quiet acoustic sets. Keep track of their event calendar and you’re guaranteed to stumble on something good. More >>
http://www.canyoninnsportsbar.com Canyon Inn is in Yorba Linda, but it's so far removed from OC that it's culturally more like Corona. Here is a diviest-of-dive-bar aesthetic, but it's a good compromise for the guarantee of being hit on. It'll welcome your desperate ass with open arms—and probably send you home with someone you'll be scared of in the morning. But at least you'll get some, right? More >>
http://www.thecatclubonsunset.com Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom runs this West Hollywood saloon, so it should be no surprise that many of his celebrity pals often show up to jam. Hard rock, acoustic and indie-rock bands are usually featured, but the bookings also reflect Mr. Phantom's passion for roots, country and rockabilly combos. House band the Lonely Drunks Club cranks it up every Saturday with stellar special guests, and drinks are half-priced daily at happy hour, from 7-8 p.m. Unlike other clubs on the Sunset Strip, the Cat Club is intimate and more like a neighborhood bar than a slick music emporium. The club includes a full bar, an upstairs VIP room, a pro soundboard and even an outdoor smoking patio surrounded by palm trees. Bands tend to use the venue's in-house Blackstar amps and back line, so setup times between groups are usually short and well organized. Ages 21 & over. More >>
http://www.catalinajazzclub.com Catalina Bar & Grill is one of Los Angeles' top jazz clubs, even if it's housed in a decidedly non-glamorous red-brick edifice that looks like a generic Hollywood office building. Once you're inside, though, after entering through the garage in back, the spacious room is much more inviting, with tables decked out in elegant white tablecloths pressed up against a low stage in front of a red velvet curtain. The walls are tastefully decorated with paintings and photos of legendary jazz musicians, and the landmark venue has hosted some of the biggest names in traditional, mainstream jazz, including Chick Corea, Ella Fitzgerald, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Scott, Pharoah Saunders, Jane Monheit, Roy Hargrove, Carmen McRae, Joe Zawinul, Joshua Redman, the Marsalis brothers, and an impressive variety of stellar Carters (Ron, Betty, Benny and even Wonder Woman's Lynda). It's a great place to hear music, although the drinks, admission, valet parking and cover minimums can be quite pricey. The kitchen serves similarly expensive entrees, including trout almondine and shrimp scampi pasta, but most visitors come for the live music instead of the food. All ages. Full bar. More >>
http://www.allages.com Remember when you were 17 and all you wanted to do was to be able to see your favorite band that never played any all-ages venue? EVER? Well the Chain Reaction solves all that. This is like the introductory venue for every band that passes through Orange County--everyone's played the Chain at some point in their careers. It's a small, slightly dingy venue located in a sketchy Anaheim shopping center surrounded by car dealerships. The floors are sticky, the stage is small, dusty T-shirts of bands that have played the venue grace the walls and any space that's free is covered in bumper stickers. But since when was rock and roll ever clean? This place is a no-fuss, straight to the point venue where covers are cheap and indie bands are frequent. Everyone wins. More >>
http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com Across the parking lot from Angel Stadium stands the exemplary Grove of Anaheim. The front looks a bit like a 1920s movie studio while inside is lavishly decorated in retro elegance. Booking several shows a week, the Grove's entertainment ranges from music to comedy. The showroom design is especially notable: The audience chooses from a series of elevated floor sections enabling even those in the very back to see the stage. More >>

http://www.faisdodo.com Fais Do-Do is a Cajun dance party, as well as a phrase used by mothers to tell their infants to go to sleep. The Mid-City nightclub Fais Do-Do is very much a raging Cajun dance party, and a whole lot more besides, with its large bar and adjoining ballroom hosting a dizzying array of music and theater events. Based in a former bank building that was built in an Art Deco style in 1930, the club is now one of the main centers of nightlife in the Mid-City area once known as the Sugar Hill District. In the past, stellar musicians like John Coltrane, Billy Preston and the late Sam Cooke used to hang out here. More recently, a wide variety of influential rappers (including Scarub and 2Mex), Latin rockers (Quetzal), and world, jazz and blues musicians have made their mark on its stage. A large dance floor gives way to a wooden stage in the corner. A balcony above the bar looks down on the dance floor and toward the stage. The bar serves beer and wine, and the age limit is usually 21 & over. Street parking available. More >>
http://www.clubnokia.com Part of downtown's L.A. Live complex, this large club has a capacity of 2,300, with a VIP bar and a balcony overlooking the floor. Compared to the Nokia Theatre, the larger, neighboring venue across the plaza, Club Nokia is relatively intimate, with good sight lines and a great sound system. Longtime local promoter Goldenvoice books a variety of rock, pop, Latin and cultural events. Among the performers who've appeared on its large stage are Cyndi Lauper, X, the New York Dolls, Tyga, Public Image Ltd., Madness, Lalah Hathaway, Coldplay, Big Sean, Wu-Tang Clan, M83 and Black Star. All ages. More >>
http://www.chgrille.com Nothing beats eating cheap breakfast food and drinking at the same time, except eating cheap breakfast food, drinking and seeing a rockin' live band to boot. You can order morning grub like omelets and chicken-fried steak, or regular pub food like hot wings or mozzarella sticks, and dig the cool, dive-y scene. More >>
