The Living Room Bar and Lounge

With delicious soul food from Chef Marilyn's next door and a live jazz band on Sunday nights (and a jukebox on other nights of the week), this cozy dive in West Adams is a no-brainer for anyone looking to grab a low-key drink in the area and listen to some blues. Just note that Fridays and Saturdays are generally reserved for karaoke, when locals ear-splittingly belt out classics on the Living Room's small stage.
