Great live music (often free!) in a rad old pool hall. Spacious enough to catch a show and still feel like you can talk to the person you're with.

Arts & Culture
Though tickets can be a bit pricy - this is one of my favorite places in LA. Besides a beautiful art gallery and historic library the grounds are home to massive themed gardens. The desert garden is our favorite, but the Japanese and Chinese are also phenomenal!
