At El Cid, they have been showcasing local talent since 1963; this Silverlake landmark hosts one of the best (and oldest) Open Mic Nights in Los Angeles. Every Monday, there's a variety show atmosphere as the performers range across the board, from comedians to singers to oddball performers. There is a $5 cover charge and the show begins at 8 p.m.; performers begin signing in at 7:30 p.m. Get there early for prime seats, as this is a very popular weekly event. El Cid has a full menu of tapas and specialty cocktails and also features famous flamenco shows that happen every weekend.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

- Open Mic: "Settle in with a big pitcher of house-made "Classic Spanish Sangria" and enjoy the show."
- Best for Open Mic Because: Who doesn't want to perform in a place that in 1925 was a speakeasy that looked like a jail?
