The Mint

The Mint is a restaurant/bar that is a veteran of the Los Angeles music scene, serving as a venue for local and out of town acts since 1937. They have a truly eclectic approach, attracting rock'n roll that is more on the traditional side, singer/songwriters, country and folk acts, as well as hip-hop and jazz artists. It is a lovely space with a relatively small stage right within the audience's reach. It has a strong classic nightclub feel to it, with actual food, actual tables, booths, bar stools, etc.
