1. The Groundlings Theatre
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 61 reviews
Melrose Avenue's Groundlings have been practicing their high-octane brand of anything-goes improvisation for nearly three decades. Audiences know the group for their wacky sketch comedy and lightning audience participation rounds, but for aspiring comedians and writers it's the Groundlings School that's the real draw. With courses in beginning and advanced improv, sketch and monologue comedy, the school has trained several generations of young wits. Its alumni includes a laundry list of "SNL"-ers (Phil Hartman, Julia Sweeney, Will Ferrell, Laraine Newman), Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson and Emmy-winning "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow. The theatre was also the home of Paul Reubens' early, raunchier version of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse." With pristine standards and a pool of hundreds of talented newcomers to draw from, the troupe offers some of the quickest, cleverest improv in town, cozily presented in their own 100-seat theater.

Although this bar may appear shabby upon initial glance, this legendary dive attracts occasional celebrities among its many patrons.

A terrific dive bar with a great staff that has been serving reasonably priced libations in a one of a kind atmosphere for decades. Not long after moving to L.A. in 1987, friends took me here for a few drinks after work. I've never stopped hanging out there. Despite the fact that tourists are there constantly, the joint has the feel of a locals only hangout. It's perfect for before or after the Pantages, a show at the Avalon, or Musso & Frank. And like any good Hollywood spot, you never know who you'll be belly up to the bar with on any given evening. Or morning, for that matter. For me, the Frolic Room is a must for any first time visitor to Hollywood.

To visit LA's The Baked Potato is a pilgrimage for musician and music lover. This is where the best of the best LA musician play and let loose. This is the place where the musician expressed their love of music and hang with other musician. Don't expect them to play your favorite tunes (although they will do it) and expect a long-jam full of improvisation to really go outside the musician's comfort zone. This place only seat, maybe 80 people and a lot of standing room, but the place is always packed. The food is mainly Baked Potato (duhhh) with different topping and it is tasty. This place have certain "Aura" where everyone from the legendary 70's LA Wrecking Crew, 80's LA Session Master (Toto, Landau, Ritenour, Holdsworth, etc), rockstar (Eddie Van Halen, etc), Jazz great (Dave Grusin, Larry Carlton, etc) to the latest star such as Joe Bonamassa have played in this place. The sound is loud, but that's is what you want to hear. Because such a small space, you literally sitting or standing not 3 feet from the player and it is such a joy to see your star idol just playing their heart out. There are so many recording made in this small club and it will say "Live at Baked Potato". Simply put, The Baked Potato can be put in the same level as Whiskey A Go-Go, The Rainbow, Ronnie Scott (UK) where the wall have so much story to tell if they can talk.
