We'd planned to stay for one or two, listen to a few songs and move on to the next , but the entertainment was so good we stayed way longer than we initially intended and don't regret it a bit. I love the velvet curtains along the walls and disco ball above the beautiful red piano. What a vibe. I'm a fan!

Fashionably late, but I had never gone to this venue until I went and saw Lotus Juice and Raj…read moreRamayya perform back in November. This is one of the few times I've gone to a smaller venue especially with such a wide dance floor. For the price, it's totally worth it to go if you can make the trip as you can end up real close to the stage if you want or move around depending on the people present. Otherwise, there's a section of seated tables you can pay more to sit at and enjoy the event in comfort. It was definitely a venue for local artists to perform at, not like the theatre venues in LA. One of the fans actually managed to get the artist to sign their merch after the concert was over!! While, I didn't partake in the alcohol/food vendors there. The staff there were relatively professional about it and prices are generally what you'd expect. There is parking in the back of the venue, but since I had arrived past sundown it was pretty hard to see the entrance on the first go around. Otherwise, I would recommend you park in the residential blocks as it wasn't a tough time walking to the venue. While unclear at the time, the venue security said no outside bottles/drinks before you enter the venue.

Not sure if they had food options but I know that have liters of beers and margaritas people ordered from my group looked good. They have tables as well on the side by the bar.

It is a great intimate venue with lots of history and great sound. We parked about a half mile away and a public lot by the West Hollywood library, parking was only 12 bucks and it was a nice short walk to the venue and no traffic getting g out when we left the show. The event was sold out, and we got there right when doors opened. The line out front was not too long and security kept everybody moving really quick. Full bar and food inside. The main room is tiny, so anywhere you stand you will have a great view of the performers. I definitely plan to come back to see another show here, wish I had caught shows here in the past... Great venue.

While a lot of people think it is right on Sunset Boulevard, the club is actually located just down the street on Santa Monica Boulevard. The history in this room is incredible, dating all the way back to 1957 when it first opened. It is wild to stand in the same small, intimate space where Elton John made his US debut and once massive bands like Guns N' Roses got their start. Catching any set here always feels super special and up-close.

This used to be my spot! If you like live music, be sure to check out their blues night. Get there EARLY! Camp out at the bar and save your seat because it's about to be standing room only. You can reserve a table in advance. If you miss a live music night, just purchase some points for the jukebox. Smoking section outside, no food, but feel free to bring your own. There's pizza, sushi, and sandwiches in the same plaza, so you're set! A staple of the valley! If you go, order a Dark and Stormy for me!

Spent Super Bowl Sunday at Sugar Mill, and it was the very best decision I've made in a long time…read more This place is most definitely "the little bar that could," with a great staff, fun and funny patrons, and an atmosphere that allows for both staunch fans and casual observers. Most people contribute to a pot luck feast that spans the wide world of food, from hot dogs and chili to baked ziti, tacos, meatballs, fried chicken, Chinese food, and on and on -- including some amazing homemade clam chowder from Mike The Mailman. Bartender Natalie did an amazing job of handling the busy crowd with speed and smiles. There were a couple of other staffers on site to watch the game, and they jumped in when she needed a hand with this or that, but for the most part Natalie captained the bar single-handedly for the duration. Kudos to her. It's true, Super Bowl only comes once a year, so other game days don't have the pot luck feast -- Sugar Mill doesn't have a kitchen, though they're happy to have you bring in whatever food you like and eat it there. Food aside, the crowd and the service are always just what you want, making it the perfect place to relax into at game time as Basketball enters the home stretch and baseball steps up to bat.
