The Grape

I recently visited and was thoroughly impressed by the atmosphere and friendly service. The vibe was inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the evening. The drink selection was vast, offering something for everyone. The highlight of the night was an outstanding performance by Simon Phillips and his band that truly captivated the audience. I can't wait to come back for another great experience!

The Grape is not only the premier jazz venue in the LA metro area it is the leader in innovative and creative jazz introductions to audiences in SoCal.
In contrast to it’s stuffy, over priced and ossified competitors, The Grape consistently delivers an intimate, quality jazz experience to discerning and appreciative audiences from all over the US.
A treasure at the Pacific shoreline, the Grape never disappoints. Well worth the drive or the flight!

They offer charcuterie type stuff til 7pm, then you're on your own. You can bring your own food in. Yolanda's is next door. Sandwich shop nearby. It's really more of a bar than an eatery. Dark, but decently lit jazz club. Intimate, so all seats are decent. Got the couch seating, which I thought would be more comfortable than it was (very tightly stuffed, and not very deep seat cushions), but still a nice option.

The show with Tony Maddox and Shannon Pearson was absolutely fantastic! - 5 +++ stars! Maddox invites the audience to sit back and enjoy a shared experience of onenness, folks enjoying songs (starting with Georgia), and smooth jazz and some of the best singing and story telling you'll ever here. Some folks broke into dance while others cuddled up for a romantic evening. Shannon's voice is the purest you'll ever hear on this planet, and that band energized the room nonstop. The young man with the saxophone hit high notes noone's ever heard before. Man does this crew deliver! Can't wait for you to get them back.

Went to see my friends perform. Was a lot of fun. They really performed well.
Atmosphere at the Grape is wonderful. Nice bar and club.

Good potential. There is a decent variety of bourbons and whiskey but the service behind the bar can be more friendly. If there is music playing it is difficult to order and the staff is not patient and act inconvenienced.

This review is based on the female bartender who asked to look at our identification and proceeded to make jokes about our age to the other guest seated at the bar. We take pride in our appearance and we are respectful people all around. Her audacity gave us a sour taste of this establishment.
