Very cool intimate performance space down an alley in the heart of Hollywood. Great venue, nice staff, decent drinks. I saw the UK's Indie band SEA GIRLS, who were awesome!
Great little spot for comedians to get their get wet! Parking lot right next door helps.

My friend and I were curious about the place andthe two guys at the front gave us a rundown. It was really, really nice place and they let us check it out for a second and instantly loved it. A great live music venue to come see up and upcoming talent. Really nice chill vibes can make for a great date night. I will plan on coming the next time I'm out in Hollywood.

Very good spot to see an intimate show. Sound is always good and the staff is super friendly. Small venues like Hotel Cafe play such a vital role in developing new artists- please support Hotel Cafe by going to a show.

The Hotel Cafe books an eclectic variety of artists. The sound engineering (either on the main stage
or the smaller secondary stage) is excellent. I was actually in a very bad mood as the 101 was completely blocked off. Last time I parked blocks away to park just to save $5.00. This time I parked closer and nearly had a heart attack when I was told it was $30.00! But then I told the attendant I was going to the Hotel Cafe. The attendant told me they had a deal with The Hotel Cafe and it would only be $20.00. Considering I had paid $15.00 for the parking blocks away, this was doable. The previous time (just a month ago) I came to the The Hotel Cafe was for Gal Musette's new album release party. In full disclosure, I had featured her 5 years ago when I ran my own venue in Santa Ana. Yes, she was the daughter of a friend, but even back then, she was a fantastic singer/songwriter and has only become greater. Her new album release party at The Hotel Cafe was packed. She is definitely a name to mark down. Tonight I went to see Alicia Witt. Many might remember her as an actress on Twin Peaks, the The Sopranos, or Nashville, but she is a damn fine singer/songwriter. I met her in 2015, I believe. She was co-starring in a play at The Geffen with a friend of mine, Amber Tamblyn. Amber invited me to join them at a bar afterward. That is when Alicia (who, again, full disclosure, was a teenage crush of mine because of the show Cybil) mentioned she was appearing at The Hotel Cafe. So I went. That was my first time at that venue. Both Alicia and the venue made very favorable impressions on me. Tonight was my fourth time there. Three of those times was because of Alicia. However, I do like the venue. The staff is always professional and friendly. The place is classy. The drinks are priced in the same range as most of the clubs in the area. Not cheap, but not unreasonable. I also appreciate that they are taking Covid precautions seriously, asking for vaccination cards (I always have mine in my wallet) and making masks mandatory when not drinking. All in all, for the solid talent they seem to book ( I have seen names I recognize that play there that I have in my own DJ collections) I think it is more than a fine venue. If I was richer, more tolerant of traffic, ( I have to drive all the way from Anaheim) and/or L.A., I would be there more often. For folks already in L.A., it is definitely one of the jewels in the L.A. venue crown.

Such a fun, intimate venue for seeing live performances! I've been here many times and i always enjoy it! The performances are quality LA entertainment and they have great, friendly bartenders too!

Always seen great shows here. Live music is something that needs to happen more. If life was a meal, Art and Music would be the seasonong. Be safe. See shows.

Went on a Monday night. What an awesome experience! Joel put on an amazing show with a line up of 10 music artist. Everyone was great and unique. Great small cozy spot with a stage next door for bigger performances on other days. Definitely will be back for sure!

Really great venue for a rock star birthday party!!
No easy parking but easy walking from our hotel....Kimpton Everly Hotel!
Absolutely the cleanest bathrooms at this kind of venue. Also, great bar tending!

This place is a classic. You can come here almost anytime and have an excellent chance of hearing great music. Most famous pop musicians who can actually play have played here. It's better than almost any other bar or music club in the Hollywood area
Even if you don't know the bands you'll probably enjoy yourself.
