The Hotel Cafe

The Hotel Cafe is the quintessential venue for seeing up-and-coming singer-songwriters (as well as bands, too) perform in Los Angeles. Offering live music seven days a week, this small Hollywood hotspot is often a launching pad for budding artists' careers. Inside, the atmosphere is intimate, cozy and unassuming. Arrive early as tables and couches are at a minimum; otherwise, it is a standing-room only venue. Enjoy drinks from the bar, but despite the word "cafe" in this club's name, don't expect to find any food here. What it does have are two stages, the Main Stage with a capacity of 200 and the Second Stage that holds 85. Cover charges typically ranges between $10-20 at the door, cash only.
