El Cid

El Cid has been in business since 1963. It was built in 1925 as The Jail Cafe with a prison theme with V.I.P. cells and waiters wearing guard costumes .

Great outdoor space for happy hour (cheap tacos ) and indoor club lounge place for music and flamenco dancing . Watch your step down.

Been around for ages. Great for a fun night out away from Hollywood. Good crowd. Great drinks.

Fantastic old Los Angeles venue. Just be warned the stairs going down to the entrance can be tough to navigate.

1920's jazz every Tuesday at 8pm (free before 8:30) highly recommended!!

The El-hattan is the best thing. Grab the tables in the balcony for a cozy birds eye view of the action.

Jamie (sp?) the flamenco dancer has the tightest body and cutest smile... She's so adorable! She alone is worth the price of admission to the flamenco show!

Love the changes they made, new management and chef are amazing! Definitely recommend this place!

LA Moth's StorySLAM happens here once a month. If you're a fan of the podcast, or that I'm-divulging-private-information-to-a-group-of-strangers feeling, it's a blast.

I only been there back in 2000. The food was great and the show was awesome. Music from Spain. Its pricey but its worth it.

Open mic night is a cool combination of music and stand-up comedy .

Meatballs and riblets were tasty. Brussel sprouts were a little too lemony.

Tuesday night traditional jazz at El Cid was excellent.

Really cute restaurant ! Food was ok, but I had happy hour small plates . Need to go back and try more!

New managers and New Executive Chef ! Come in and experience the new El Cid!

Everything I've tried here is good.

Sit outside on jazz night! It's chill with a group of four.

Great food, better service. Awesome venue.

Nice atmosphere. Had a great time.

Jalapeño margarita is a good choice

Great music almost every night. Hard to go wrong.

1. Ask for Lauren!! 2. Say Chrissy sent you. 3. Tip her well . 4. Get drunk.

The music ????????

The booths are always fun in the back!

Short Film Night!

Awesome!!!!

The best tip I could give for El Cid is to go somewhere else.

Yggghhj am testing

Food service on the patio during the dinner show is a horrible idea. The wait staff could care less about us.

The food is mediocre and overpriced, we were overcharged as well and had to get the problem remedied. The service wasn't very good either. We DID win free drinks though, which we didn't use, but still

enjoy a drink on the luxurious patio . grab a booth if you can

Watch ur step walking in or u just might land & break a hipster

THEM! Thursdays oh ya

So amazing I almost shit myself.

Lucid every Sunday... 2pm to 9pm

Avoid the upstairs sauna during sold out shows.

expensive drinks, but not a bad venue

Overpriced beer , but the place reminds me of TJ or my Rosarito days in both good and bad ways.

Flamenko gösterisi harikaydı. Yemekleri güzel, mezelerden az az ortaya söylemek mantıklı. Ana yemek seçeneği kısıtlı. Sangria içmeden ayrılmayın
