They played an array of popular tracks, including songs from Duke Ellington & Frank Sinatra. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select_video=1cJcQVrI4JGjHPve4t5fDw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was great. The staff replenished the buffet in a timely manner, and quickly carried away empty plates & glasses. Parking was free in the upper levels of the Hollywood Park Casino parking structure. However, I have heard on SoFi Stadium event days (and the soon to be open Intuit Dome), parking prices at the structure are the same as SoFi, which is an arm & a leg. I had an enjoyable evening attending the Hollywood & Wine night at The Raise Lounge in Hollywood Park Casino. While the buffet left me wanting more, and the sound didn't provide the highest quality for the featured musical act, I had fun. Hopefully, the staff reads this & takes to heart my suggestions.

Jazz, people-watching, and a full-on summer vibe…read more First time at Jazz at LACMA, and somehow I really thought getting there at 5 for a 6 p.m. start was gonna put me ahead. Parking? Still annoying. I got lucky and found a lot with one space left, but $20 for parking definitely deserves a mention because paying for parking is always a little painful. Even getting there an hour early, it was already extremely crowded. I was very glad I brought lawn chairs, a blanket, and snacks because while they do have food trucks, the food options felt pretty limited for the amount of people there. By the time I got settled, I was pretty far from the actual music. I could hear it just fine, but actually seeing the performers was another story. The vibe Now that part was absolutely worth it. Being outside on a summer night, listening to great music, surrounded by families, couples, friends, and beautifully dressed people just enjoying themselves... it really was such a vibe. Some people had full picnic setups with blankets, tables, food, wine, charcuterie, the whole thing. It was so cute seeing couples posted up, having their little summer night. And me? I was perfectly happy people-watching because I love an art crowd anyway, and adding jazz culture to it just made it even better. The style, the energy, the atmosphere... just a really lovely way to spend a night. Final thoughts If you go, come prepared. Bring chairs, bring snacks, and definitely expect a crowd. It may not be the best setup if your goal is actually seeing the performers up close, but if you're there for the music, the people, and the overall experience, it's absolutely worth it. First time definitely won't be my last. Such a good summer night.

The scene crowd dresses up classy and dapper. The guest DJs are serious collectors, so you may not recognize some of the songs, but it's usually upbeat and happy music. It's fun to watch people dance - there is no grinding and baby-making on the dance floor here. Everyone is respectful of each other and their space bubble. I follow them on facebook, because the location might change. Typical cover of $10. Friendly bouncers. The first time I went to the Soulside club night in 2008, I met the love of my life. Thanks, Soulside LOL.

Hidden amongst the dirty chaos of Hollywood is the Catalina Jazz Club. This is the place for you If…read moreyou want a laid back and friendly environment with great live music. The crowd is older, I'd say 50's and up and the dress is casual to dressy. Every seat in the house is good to great and the acoustics are perfect. My compa was playing trumpet for the band playing that night so we got in free but they charge around 40 bucks for a ticket. Worth it in my opinion. There may be a drink or entree minimum, but we were never pressured about it. We only had drinks and a pretzel so I can't speak for the food, but the service was quick and friendly. Drinks are on the expensive side, but it's Hollywood. The highlight might be 8 dollar parking in a garage in Hollywood. Unheard of. Even 20 years ago when I went to Hollywood more parking was at least 20 bucks. Btw, you would never find this place unless you were looking for it. It's on a small side street and only the garage is visible from the street. The entrance itself is on the first floor of an office building from a courtyard behind the garage. I would definitely return. If you enjoy live Jazz or just live music in general you should check it out.

I made it clear we're only coming for drinks and maybe dessert. It's now close to 9pm and still waiting like idiots for the show to start. Should have know better, right? Watching the other patrons shovel what looks like trash into their mouths is heartbreaking. They say the doors open at 7 for an 8:30 show. You definitely do not need to get here until 8:30 or probably even 9. You probably won't want to eat here, but, the drinks are pretty good. The food is probably better with music and no lights. Our server, Frank, is pleasant. People who actually value their time can show up at 9pm. 1 star for good service. 1 star for good drinks. 1 star for good music.

This Black-owned restaurant has been open for about five weeks now. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Phil, the General Manager, personally came to our table to introduce himself and even gave us a tour of the speakeasy in the back of the restaurant. He shared some of his thoughts and future plans for the restaurant, which was truly impressive. The food was absolutely delicious. The location is great, and the overall experience was fantastic. I highly recommend the 18888 Lounge. They also have brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
