Know something we don't?
This once-mighty Silver Lake indie insitution gave birth to Beck and a thousand sloppy hookups, but has lately lost ground to The Echo as the eastside's indie rock venue du jour. The cache of the place is still considerable for striving, skinny-jeaned post-punks climbing the blog-rock totem pole however, and an old-guard vice is still to be found: the aquarium in back plays host to all sorts of wink-nudge chicanery (you'll know what we mean when you walk in there), and the bartenders are minor local celebrities in their own right for their heavy hands. Pre- or post-show libations can be found at the nearby Cha Cha Lounge or Red Lion Tavern, and an okay but overpriced pho can be yours at Gingergrass, but a much better one is at, well, Pho Cafe off Sunset. Watch out if you park along or just off Silver Lake Blvd. nearby, as the 5-0 comes ticketing after 11 p.m. and aren't kidding around.

Great venue. Seen some great acts here. Small and intimate... Perfect to see performers close and without the crowd. Plus, they have a smoking area inside...

Find restaurants, clubs, shows and events every day.
