About
Popular food: Hush puppies; jambalaya (just the right amount of spice); gumbo with shrimp and red snapper; blackened catfish po' boy.
Unique food: Shrimp and corn quesadillas.
Drinks: Beer on tap, wine, soft drinks, coffee.
Popular Drinks: Wide range of beers on tap (Angel City Ale, Guinness, Pyramid Hefeweizen, Anchor Steam, Wyder's Pear Cider) and bottled beers (Negra Modelo, Corona, Bud), small wine list
Seating: Little square tables upstairs near the DJ -- a dimly lit romantic choice; large red leather booths downstairs occasionally available for dinner depending on evening's entertainment.
Ambience: Old Sugar Hill district Art Deco landmark; home to an eclectic mix of race, ethnicity and music: Hollywood hipsters, KXLU indie-rockers, Westside raver kids, activists, progressives, mods, Gothic-industrials and retro types.
Extras/Notes: As the web site tells you, "Fais Do Do: (fay-dodo) 1. To make sleep; 2. A traditional French lullaby; 3. A township gathering where the children are put to bed in the nursery while the adults party in the hall. 4. Meeting place for people, music and flavor from around the corner and around the world." Located in a former bank branch turned underground jazz club in the '60s, the club was brought back to life in 1990 as a space for a racial and ethnic medley of music, food and politics for any Angeleno. Scenes change nightly -- from jazz to funk and soul to Goth-industrial to blues to Latin rock to hip-hop to salsa and more. Whenever you go, remember to "make peace and have a ball!"
Parking: Guarded pay lot across the street; do not park on South Cloverdale Avenue or other side streets for zoning reasons
