Nice space for live music and very good sound! But contrary to the menu listed in Google Maps they do not serve food and have not for the last five years. We came hungry and left hungry. Nearby parking is expensive-$20. Second Stage space is tiny and has few chairs. Really like a small bar with a small stage. But a great place for intimate performances. No cafe - just in the name!

Hotel Cafe is one of the greatest musical venues in Los Angeles. I got to meet Sidney Poitier there once. I don't know who books the bands there, but whomever it is I say "Bravo" and thank you

My friend and I were curious about the place andthe two guys at the front gave us a rundown. It was really, really nice place and they let us check it out for a second and instantly loved it. A great live music venue to come see up and upcoming talent. Really nice chill vibes can make for a great date night. I will plan on coming the next time I'm out in Hollywood.

Such a fun, intimate venue for seeing live performances! I've been here many times and i always enjoy it! The performances are quality LA entertainment and they have great, friendly bartenders too!

Rossi S | Aug 28, 2018

They used to serve food years ago and then switched to only drinks as there was no real interest. One of the girls working there told me that as soon as they eliminated food from the menu, all of a sudden, everyone wanted to order it.

Because seating is limited, and If you would like to sit down, I would recommend 9pm-9:30pm. I think doors open at 8:30. Otherwise, It's standing room only!

How early do you have to get there to get a table

shoshana maler | Aug 28, 2018
Tom K | Aug 28, 2018

To ensure you get a table, I recommend being there 30 minutes before doors open. Of course it varies depending on the popularity of the Artists that night and if your interest is in the first act up, or the headliner. Even if you are in the back of the room, you are still close to the stage, particularly if you are going to the 2nd stage.

Are service dogs allowed here

Matthew Francis | Aug 28, 2017
Jason Mitchell | Aug 28, 2017

Yes, all facilities are required by law to allow them. I have a feeling that if your animal was a service animal you would know this. There is a clear difference between a service animal a a comfort animal/companion. If your animal is trained to give signals to notify of a medical condition or similar issue it does not qualify and you certainly shouldn't subject the animal to the loud sounds of a music venue with their sensitive hearing.
